We’ve all seen the ubiquitous Trunki cases dotted throughout every airport – and when it comes to packing kids’ belongings effectively, the original ride-on suitcase is still one of the best options out there. However, those looking for a secure, stylish way to tote their children’s belongings from A to B, will find plenty of joyful cases to choose from at a range of price points. Many of our favourite luggage brands have now introduced mini ranges for little ones, utilising the same materials and build quality as their larger counterparts, replete with handy features for stashing in-flight paraphernalia such as games, books, iPads and snacks.
There’s a full gamut of styles, from the muted minimal options at BÉIS that’ll match the grown-ups’ cases to fun, rainbow-bright designs children will be thrilled to tote about themselves – think Steamline and IT Luggage. And there’s plenty that goes the extra mile, features-wise, helping keep airport-related faff to a minimum. Several, like the Trunki, utilise a ride-on design that’ll save little legs from trekking through the airport after a long day, there are plenty with mesh pockets for storing water bottles and goodies, and Stokke’s case even has a fold-out platform that turns plane seats into a bed – a true luxury for mini jet setters.
Below is our edit of the best children’s luggage options to shop now, in time for the school summer holidays and all your family travel plans.
