Buying Guide: Choosing the Best Kids’ Suitcase
What size suitcase does your child need?
For young travellers, size matters. Look for cabin-sized options (around 50–55cm) for short trips or carry-on use. These are ideal for kids aged 3 to 8. Older children heading on longer holidays may prefer slightly larger models that still stay lightweight and easy to handle.
Hard shell vs soft shell?
Hard shell kids’ suitcases offer better protection and often feature colourful character prints. Soft shell suitcases tend to be lighter and flexible with more external pockets. Both are great – the choice depends on how your child will use the suitcase and what kind of storage you prefer.
Wheels and handles: what to check
For maximum independence, choose a suitcase with four spinner wheels and a telescopic handle. This allows children to glide their bag easily by themselves. Some cases also come with top handles so parents can lend a hand when needed.
Should you choose a character design?
Yes – character cases are more than just cute. They help children recognise their suitcase, take pride in packing it, and feel excited about travel. All Samsonite Disney cases combine style with durability, so kids get the best of both worlds.
FAQ
Are kids’ suitcases suitable as hand luggage?
Yes. Many Samsonite kids’ suitcases are designed to fit airline cabin luggage dimensions. Always check your airline’s carry-on size limits, but most models in our kids' range are under 55cm, making them ideal for short trips and in-flight use.
Can my child use a ride-on suitcase?
Absolutely. Ride-on suitcases are perfect for kids aged 3–6. They’re fun, functional, and often double as a travel seat while you wait at the airport. Our ride-on luggage collection features safe, smooth-rolling wheels and sturdy construction.
How durable are Samsonite kids' suitcases?
Very. Built with the same care as our adult ranges, Samsonite kids' luggage is made from strong yet lightweight materials. Whether you choose a hard or soft shell, each case is designed to last – from school trips to overseas holidays and everything in between.
