What should I pay particular attention to when moving the children's room?

The children's room should be one of the last rooms to be dismantled and the first to be set up again, to ensure continuity. Mark boxes with the child's name and pack cuddly toys and important items separately. That way children find their way around the new surroundings more quickly and feel secure.

How does registering at a new school work when you move?

A change of school requires contacting the new school early, ideally several months before the moving date. Bring school reports, the birth certificate and possibly a registration form. We recommend scheduling the move during the school holidays if possible, to make the transition easier for your child.

How much does a family move with Beste Umzug Unternehmen cost?

The costs of a family move depend on the distance, the size of the flat and the additional services you want. We offer transparent fixed prices with no hidden costs so that you can plan your budget from the outset. You can get a free quote by phone on 01625978461 or via our website.

Do you also offer a part load for smaller family households?

Yes, our part load is particularly suitable for smaller moving volumes or second homes and combines your belongings with other transports to save costs. Liability under the German Commercial Code (HGB) applies here too; instead of a fixed day, we agree a time window. That way families save hard cash without compromising on quality.

How long does a typical family move take?

The duration of a family move depends on the size of the flat and the distance, but for an average household it is usually between one and two days. For a long-distance move , extra time may need to be allowed for the journey. Our team works efficiently to keep the time involved for your family as low as possible.

How do I prepare my child emotionally for the move?

Talk about the upcoming move early and in an age-appropriate way to ease fears and build anticipation. Let your child take an active part in packing their own room and visit the new surroundings together before moving day. These measures strengthen their sense of security and make settling in considerably easier.

What happens to pets on moving day?

For a family move with pets, we recommend leaving dogs or cats with friends or in a boarding kennel or cattery on moving day to avoid stress. Alternatively, a quiet, closed room with familiar items can be set up. Our team makes sure to keep doors closed so that animals cannot slip out.

Which documents do I need for a change of school?

For a change of school , you usually need the latest school report, the child's birth certificate and, if applicable, proof of the new place of residence. Contact the new school early to clarify the exact requirements. Good preparation makes a seamless transition considerably easier for your child.

How do I find the right moving date for my family?

The ideal time for a family move is often based on the school holidays, to avoid missed lessons. Also take into account the notice period for your current flat and the handover date for the new property. Our team is happy to advise you on the best scheduling for a smooth process.

Does Beste Umzug Unternehmen also offer long-distance moves for families?

Yes, we organise long-distance moves for families nationwide and ensure smooth transport over longer distances. We take special needs into account, such as breaks for children and safe packing of delicate items. You will find more information under Long-distance move .

CHILDREN'S ROOM

Moving the Children's Room: Sorting Toys Dismantling Furniture, Protecting Memories

Q: What is the best way to plan a move with small children?

Start planning the move early and involve your children in an age-appropriate way so that they can prepare for the change. Pack a separate box with favourite toys that is unpacked first. Professional support from Beste Umzug Unternehmen considerably reduces the organisational effort and leaves more time for your family.

Q: How do I protect valuable keepsakes during the move?

Valuable keepsakes such as photo albums, jewellery or children's drawings are best transported yourself, well padded in your own car. For jewellery, money and certificates, the furniture carrier's liability is only limited under § 451d HGB; for other belongings it is liable under the HGB at €620 per m³ of cargo space. For particularly valuable items we can advise you on additional insurance.

Taking familiar things along

Unsere Firma Moving the children's room: sorting out toys, dismantling children's furniture, labelling boxes, transporting keepsakes safely.

For children, their own room is the safest place in the flat – so during a family move it should disappear for as short a time as possible. Pack it as the last room and have it set up again as the first at the new place. Children who help decide what to sort out and are allowed to paint their own boxes usually take the change more calmly – and find their things more quickly at the new place. What we take on for a private move can be found under Private move.

We dismantle the loft bed, wardrobe and shelves and reassemble them at the new place. Photo albums, children's drawings and jewellery, on the other hand, belong in your own car. We give you the fixed price after the survey; we are liable for transport damage under the German Commercial Code (HGB) (€620 per m³ of cargo space), and additional insurance is available on request. Call us on 01625978461 for no-obligation advice on planning your move.

CARE IN THE CHILDREN'S ROOM

How we move the children's room

Dismantling, transport, assembly

The children's room holds the most small parts: building blocks, a doll's house, craft work. We dismantle furniture, wrap it in blankets and reassemble it at the new place in the order you specify – usually the bed first. We are liable for transport damage under the German Commercial Code (HGB), and additional insurance is available on request; keepsakes are best transported yourself.

Packing service

We pack books, clothes and games; your child packs the box with the cuddly toy and favourite toys themselves, and it travels with you in the car.

Assembly service

We dismantle and reassemble the loft bed, bunk bed and wardrobe; screws and small parts go labelled into a bag attached to the piece of furniture.

Furniture transport

Children's furniture made of chipboard copes less well with being carried than solid wood; we pad the edges and carry large pieces dismantled.

No-parking zone

Short distances save time when carrying; in Berlin the signs for the no-parking zone must be up on the street at least 72 hours beforehand.

PACKING THE CHILDREN'S ROOM

Six rules for the children's room

With the children's room, it is less about volume than about familiarity. These six rules help your child settle in quickly after the move, find their things again by themselves and keep keepsakes intact.

Sort out together

Sort out toys with your child two to three weeks beforehand – whatever does not come along is given away, not secretly thrown out.

Pack last

The children's room stays usable for play until the day before; seasonal clothing and rarely used games go into the boxes first.

Label boxes

The child's name and the contents on every box, and a symbol or colour for younger children – then they can find their things again themselves.

Treasure box

The cuddly toy, night light, favourite book and pyjamas go in a separate box that travels with you in the car, not in the lorry.

Carry memories yourself

Photo albums, drawings and jewellery travel with you; for jewellery and certificates, the carrier's liability is only limited under § 451d HGB.

Set up first

At the new place the bed goes up first, then the shelf and play corner; fit anti-tip brackets for wardrobes and shelves straight after assembly.

SINGLE PIECES

Part load for children's furniture

Small, affordable, with a time window

A bunk bed from the cousins, a desk from your parents' home: for individual pieces of children's furniture, a part load is often worthwhile. Your piece of furniture travels on a route that is going in that direction anyway – without a dedicated trip and without a fixed day.

CHILDREN'S ROOM

The children's room during the move

This part of the series takes the children's room through the move: from sorting things out together and packing the last boxes to dismantling the loft bed and wardrobe. There is also the question of how photo albums, children's drawings and other keepsakes arrive intact. At the end is the new room that your child helps to design – with a bed, a favourite spot and anti-tip brackets on the shelf and wardrobe.

Beforehand

Sort out toys together, pack seasonal clothing early, keep the children's room usable for play until the day before and prepare a treasure box for the first night.

Dismantling and transport

We dismantle the loft bed, wardrobe and shelves, pad the edges and carry large pieces dismantled; small parts travel labelled on the piece of furniture during furniture transport.

New room

Bed first, then the shelf and play corner; children can help decide where things go, and anti-tip brackets go on the wall straight after assembly.

FAQ

Questions about the children's room during the move

Packing, dismantling and keepsakes around the children's room.

Start planning the move early and involve your children in an age-appropriate way so that they can prepare for the change. Pack a separate box with favourite toys that is unpacked first. Professional support from Beste Umzug Unternehmen considerably reduces the organisational effort and leaves more time for your family.

Packing the children's room: last and together

The children's room is the last room to be packed. Start sorting things out two to three weeks beforehand – together with your child, because what they give away themselves they are less likely to miss later. Seasonal clothing and rarely used games go into boxes first, while favourite toys stay on the shelf until the end.

Your child packs the cuddly toy, night light, favourite book and pyjamas into a separate treasure box that travels with you in the car. At the new place we set up the bed first. How to plan the order is described in the article The children's room last and first; we answer questions on 01625978461.

Dismantling children's furniture, protecting memories

Loft beds, bunk beds and wardrobes are dismantled for transport. Photograph complicated furniture before dismantling it and keep the screws labelled on the piece of furniture. Furniture made of chipboard copes less well with repeated assembly and dismantling than solid wood – check when reassembling that all joints are secure.

Transport photo albums, children's drawings and jewellery yourself: for jewellery, money and certificates, the furniture carrier's liability is only limited under § 451d HGB, and memories cannot be replaced. This applies all the more on a long-distance move – more under Long-distance moves.

Prices for your family move

Moving into a 1-room flat? Then you pay from €375.
For a 2-room flat it is from €605.
For a 3-room flat we charge from €915.
A 4-room flat costs from €1,324.
Houses and villas receive an individual quote.

During a free survey, show us the loft bed and toy shelf too – after that the fixed price is set.

What influences the costs

The most important cost drivers include the volume of your household goods and the distance, which is charged from €3.85/km. The floor and lift also have an effect – without a lift the effort rises considerably. A no-parking zone can also be worthwhile. Lots of dismantled children's furniture also means more assembly time. In addition, we offer furniture assembly and a part load.

From dismantling the loft bed to setting up the new room, we take on the following on request:

The children's room over a long distance
