Moving with Kids in Los Angeles – Expert Family Tips from iBox Moving
Moving with Kids – A Family-Friendly Approach
Relocating with children can be challenging — but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. At iBox Moving, we’ve helped hundreds of families move smoothly in and around Los Angeles. Here's how to keep your move organized, calm, and even enjoyable for your kids.
1. Talk to Your Kids About the Move
Start by having an open and honest conversation. Let your kids know when and why you’re moving. Involve them in the process — it helps them feel included and reduces anxiety.
2. Maintain Routines
Stick to your child’s usual routines as much as possible. Keep regular mealtimes, naps, and bedtime. Familiar routines offer comfort during a time of change.
3. Pack a “Kid Essentials” Box
Prepare a special box with your child’s favorite toys, books, snacks, and clothes. This way, they’ll have comfort items handy throughout the move and first night in the new home.
4. Let Them Help (Even a Little)
Depending on their age, give kids small tasks like labeling boxes or packing their stuffed animals. Feeling helpful can ease their transition and reduce stress.
5. Visit the New Neighborhood Ahead of Time
If possible, take your kids to see the new house or explore the neighborhood before moving day. Show them the local park or school to create excitement.
6. Childcare on Moving Day
Moving day can be hectic. If you can, arrange for a babysitter or family member to watch your kids during the busiest hours. This keeps them safe and gives you space to focus.

FAQ
When to Schedule Your Move – Best Timing Tips from iBox Moving
When Should I Schedule My Move?
To get the best availability and rates, it’s always a good idea to schedule your move as early as possible. At iBox Moving, we understand that flexibility matters, so we offer options for both early bookings and last-minute moves.
Best Timeframes for Booking
- 2–3 Weeks in Advance: Ideal for most local moves. Ensures your preferred date and time are available, especially at the end or beginning of the month.
- 1 Week in Advance: Still great for standard moves, especially on weekdays.
- Same-Day or Next-Day: Yes — we can often accommodate last-minute moves depending on availability. Just call us!
What Days Are Most Popular?
Fridays, weekends, and end-of-month dates book up quickly. If you need to move during these high-demand times, we recommend scheduling at least 2–3 weeks ahead.
When Is the Cheapest Time to Move?
- Mid-month (around the 10th–20th)
- Weekdays (Monday through Thursday)
- Morning time slots
These times are usually less busy and may offer better rates or more flexibility.
