A Suitcase Fit For A Child

By Louise J Villis

I have very fond memories of going on family holidays with my girls when they were younger. They both had their small wheelie rucksacks, in which they kept their treasures for the journey. My youngest was a little bit of a liability with hers and should possibly have had a warning attached along the lines of ‘watch your ankles!’ Now with school trips, sleepovers and family holidays their criteria has changed somewhat. The important factors for them now are something ‘cool!!’ and something big enough to put in what seems the entire contents of their wardrobe when going on a sleepover. As children get older they still do need toys to entertain them but usually in the form of games consoles and mp3s for long car trips or on the plane so carry on board luggage is still required.

When it comes to choosing the best children’s luggage, many of the same rules of selection apply to that of an adult. Luggage needs to be sturdy, well made and with children durable to stand the test of time. One key thing to look for in childrens luggage is portability and weight. It is important to choose luggage that is of an appropriate size and weight for the child. If you have a number of children with differing ages, it is probably a good idea to buy each child his/her own special case. There are different luggage options to consider too, the wheelie rucksack or wheelie suitcase, which will suit your criteria best?

Many airlines allow childrens carry on board luggage but it is always advisable to check with your airline. The usability of the case is important, can the child open and close the zips? With rolling luggage or wheelie suitcase it is important that the pull along handle is the correct height. The carry-on-board luggage must be large enough to hold all their toys, snacks, travel games and/or games consoles etc. but small enough to make them manageable and easily accessed during the flight.

Finally, children love the independence of wheeling around their own suitcase, but speaking from experience, do remember to check its contents before leaving home, opening up the suitcase on the plane and finding that your child has replaced your well organised distraction travel games and activities with anything they could find around the house, is rather alarming when you have an irritable child to entertain, trust me.
