family passport wallet recommendation?
I'm looking for a nice method to store 5 passports and boarding passes. A ziploc has worked well and will continue to do so if I can't find something more stylish 
any thoughts?
any thoughts?

I did a quick google search and only came up with some family passport holders in Etsy that were made from cloth. They are cute but they won't stand the test of time for frequent fliers.
I hope someone has a good recommendation since this is a really practical item that I need to get now that we are 3, soon to be 4.

I use a ziploc precisely because it is water proof. My old passport got soaked and damaged when I was hiking in Cambodia and it got a lot of hassle from border agents until I got my new passport. Now my daughter's and mine are always in ziploc. Not real stylish but practical

I've been using this Pacsafe Walletsafe for international travel for a few years now. I usually carry 3 passports in it, but I think you could probably fit 5 in it fairly comfortably. It fits boarding passes perfectly and I clipped the attached chain to an internal zipper on my carry-on for security (it also ensures that I don't accidentally leave it lying on a chair or counter on accident).

I use a wristlet that came with a purse--the purse is long defunct, but the wristlet is one compartment with a long strap which attaches to a hook inside my backpack.
Something like this, if it's big enough:

Boring, yes, but practical. I couldn't find any others that held all the passports in one place. And I doubt I'll trust my kids to carry their own until the replacement cost comes out of their own pockets

Nice! Is that one RFID protected? I've only just realised that all but one of the 6 I carry have the logo. What model is that, do you know?

My wife and I carry one of these each http://www.tombihn.com/accessories/TB0932.html
I have a Pacsafe pouch, but I once forgot to take it out of the front seat pocket and left it on the plane. All my documents stay on me now, in one of my pockets.
We split the responsibility for our boys between the two of us, youngest with my wife, oldest with me. We carry their documents ( passport, boarding passes, global entry card, etc) for them. The key is to make sure you and your spouse are on the same page so you don't leave anyone behind

Why don't you try an amazing idea of getting family passport holders like Mr and Mrs Passport holders and kid's passport holder?? It would be very stylish and really amazing!

Generally I find my man-bag or my wife's handbag works fine...again I enough cr@p to carry so adding another bag JUST for the passports and BPs feels unecessary to me. YMMV
