Moving with Kids? Make It Smoother with BoxValet
Relocating with children transforms an average move into a full-scale production. From school changes to keeping routines intact, moving your family across Metro Atlanta requires careful planning—and the right tools to make it easier.
Whether you’re upgrading from a condo in Brookhaven or settling into a new home in Sandy Springs, this updated guide is packed with real-world strategies to make moving with kids less stressful—and even fun.
Step 1: Involve Your Kids from the Start
Moving is a big change, especially for children. Ease the transition by:
-
Letting them help pack their toys
-
Showing them pictures of the new home or neighborhood
-
Exploring the new area with Google Maps
-
Planning a goodbye celebration with friends or neighbors
📍 Bonus Tip: If you’re moving within our service areas, plan a local “field trip” to explore your new surroundings—like Brook Run Park in Dunwoody or Chattahoochee Nature Center in Roswell.
Step 2: Use Moving Tools That Save Time (and Sanity)
Say goodbye to soggy cardboard and messy tape. Our plastic moving bins are built for family moves.
Why Parents Love BoxValet:
-
No tape = no mess
-
Stackable bins = faster, safer loading
-
Smooth plastic = no cuts or splinters
-
Color-coded labels = easy sorting for kids
-
Lightweight = safe to carry with supervision
Add-on items like mattress bags, dollies, and moving bags make the process even smoother.
Step 3: Pack a ‘Kid Essentials’ Bin
Keep one clearly labeled bin just for the first night:
-
Pajamas, toothbrushes, snacks
-
Favorite toys, nightlight, books
-
Device chargers, comfort items
Load this bin last—and unpack it first.
Step 4: Ease Into the New Routine
Help kids adjust by:
-
Maintaining bedtime rituals
-
Letting them personalize their space
-
Watching a favorite movie on night one
-
Visiting a nearby park or trail
🎁 Pro Tip: Leave a surprise “welcome gift” in their new room—it turns moving into an adventure.

Step 5: Celebrate the Milestone
Make your new space feel like home:
-
Order pizza and have a floor picnic
-
Explore the neighborhood together
-
Let the kids choose new décor

Every positive moment creates a smoother transition.
