Keep the family's everyday luggage easier to manage

  • Separate the bulky itemA stroller, car seat, or booster seat may be able to travel as its own package instead of staying with the family's daily bags.

  • Make transfers simplerFewer large items can make trains, taxis, hotel changes, and crowded station routes more comfortable for the whole family.

  • Keep daily needs closeCarry the items the family needs during the day while the confirmed child-equipment package moves on a separate schedule.

Confirm the packed item and domestic route before sending

  • Describe the item clearlyTell Silk Crane whether the package contains a stroller, child car seat, or booster seat and share its packed size and weight.

  • Share the full routeExplain where the item will be sent from, where it should go after storage, and when it will be needed.

  • Wait for confirmationSend the package only after Silk Crane and the carrier confirm that the packed item works for the planned domestic route.

Plan one complete package and a clear receiving handoff

  • Use transport-suitable packagingChoose packaging that protects the specific item during domestic handling without relying on a packing method that has not been confirmed.

  • Provide the final measurementsUse the dimensions and weight after packaging because the carrier handles the completed package, not the loose item.

  • Name the receiving arrangementProvide the hotel, airport counter, or other confirmed destination details and the date when the family expects to receive it.

Treat each child-equipment item as its own shipment

  • Plan one charge per packageA stroller, car seat, or booster seat sent separately has its own domestic shipping charge based on the completed package and route.

  • Keep storage and shipping distinctShipping charges are not included in storage, so include both parts when deciding whether the separate movement helps the trip.

  • Review the current estimatePackage size and destination affect the amount. Review current shipping estimates.
