To pack your suitcase like the grown-ups, go on vacation with the grandparents, go to camp… Children’s suitcases have sufficient storage capacity to allow them to take all their belongings, while remaining practical and easy to transport .
Are you going on a trip or is your child going to spend a few days at summer camp or with their grandparents? Even if his things don’t take up much space, it’s more practical to have his own luggage, so you don’t have to share yours! If he’s big enough, he’ll be able to push it himself, so you’ll have one less thing to carry. Having his own suitcase will delight him, while teaching him autonomy and responsibility! He can choose it with the image of his favorite hero, or his favorite color…
The first criterion for choosing the right suitcase for your child is its size: it must be adapted to the age of your child, otherwise he won’t be able to wear it himself! Also remember to favor lightweight manufacturing materials and wheels to facilitate transport. Then, you have the choice between two types of suitcases: those in fabric and those in plastic. The first will be flexible, light and resistant, especially with children who tend to store their belongings in a ball and, therefore, to make them overflow. The plastic ones are also lightweight, and will be impact resistant. It’s up to you to see what best suits your child and the type of trip he’s going to take. The vast majority of children’s luggage is equipped with wheels. Those with two wheels will be easy to pull, but will steer less easily than those with four wheels. Don’t forget to check that the handle is the right size for your child or, even better, adjustable in height. Some suitcases also have straps and turn into a backpack, which can be very practical. Finally, before investing in a children’s suitcase, think about the long term. Is the goal for your child to keep it as long as possible?
