This reminds me of something a very, very wise person taught me when my kids were small. She told me to give them each a backpack. Smallish at first and then bigger as they got bigger. The rule was that whatever they wanted to take when we went anywhere, they had to carry! Brilliant! But a side benefit to me not struggling with all their stuff was that it took them awhile to figure out what exactly they wanted to take. This gave me precious time to finish getting myself ready or perhaps having a cup of coffee in peace!
