Kids Luggage

Different Kids Luggage Options at HipKids

We understand that every little traveller is unique, which is why we offer a diverse range of kids’ luggage to suit their individual needs and preferences. Whether they prefer a classic kids suitcase, a functional backpack, or a fun ride-on suitcase, we've got you covered.

Hard-shell Suitcases: Perfect for protecting precious cargo, our hard-shell suitcases offer durability and peace of mind.

Backpacks: Ideal for day trips or carrying essentials, our backpacks are comfortable and stylish, making them a favourite among kids.

Ride-On and Scooter Luggage: Turn travel into an adventure with our ride-on and scooter luggage. These innovative options combine fun and functionality, keeping kids entertained while on the move.

Trolley Cases: Easy to manoeuvre and spacious, our trolley cases are a great option for longer trips or families on the go.

Our collection includes luggage and bags from top brands like HipKids, Olli Ella, and Micro Scooters, ensuring that your little one travels in style and comfort. Whether they need a kid's carry-on luggage for a weekend getaway or a larger trolley case for an extended holiday, we have the perfect option to suit their needs.

Comparing Rolling Luggage and Backpacks for Kids

Choosing the right luggage for your child depends on their age, strength, and travel needs. Rolling luggage is a fantastic option for longer trips or when carrying heavier items. Its wheels make it easy for kids to manoeuvre, reducing strain on their little backs.

On the other hand, kids' backpacks are perfect for shorter trips or active adventures. They offer hands-free convenience, allowing your child to explore freely. Backpacks are also a great choice for younger kids who may not have the strength or coordination to manage a rolling suitcase.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on your child's individual needs and preferences. Consider factors like the length of the trip, the terrain they'll be navigating, and their personal style.

What Materials Are Best for Kids Luggage?

When choosing kids' luggage, the material plays a crucial role in its durability, weight, and ease of cleaning.

Polyester: This synthetic fabric is a popular choice for its lightweight nature, water resistance, and affordability. It's perfect for backpacks and soft-sided luggage.

Plastic or Hard Shell: Hard case or hard shell luggage, often made from polycarbonate or ABS plastic, offers excellent protection for fragile items. It's also easy to clean, making it ideal for messy little travellers. However, it can be heavier than other options.

Fabric: Fabric luggage, typically made from nylon or canvas, offers a balance of durability and is lightweight. It's often more flexible than hard-shell options but may require more care when cleaning.

Consider your child's travel needs and lifestyle when selecting the material. If they're prone to spills or rough play, a hard shell suitcase with spinner wheels might be the best choice. For active kids who prefer backpacks, a durable polyester option would be ideal.

Maximising the Use of Kids’ Luggage

Kids' luggage isn't just for holidays. Many styles, like backpacks, offer fantastic versatility for everyday use. Your little one can easily use their trusty backpack to carry school books, a lunch bag, and even their sports gear.

Some rolling suitcases are designed with compartments and side or front pockets that are perfect for organising school supplies or keeping sports equipment separate from clothes.

With clever design and durable materials, kids' luggage can easily transition from travel companion to school essential or sports buddy, making it a valuable investment for your growing child.

Gearing Up for Mini Adventures

Even for short weekend trips or sleepovers, kids' luggage proves its worth. It allows your little one to pack their favourite toys, books, or pyjamas, giving them a sense of comfort and familiarity in a new environment.

Our best-selling luggage and backpacks can serve as overnight bags and travel bags and are the perfect size for these mini-adventures. They're compact enough to be easily carried by little hands yet spacious enough to hold all their essentials like kid’s wallets and toiletry. Plus, having their own bag encourages responsibility and helps them keep track of their belongings.

So, whether it's a weekend at grandma's or a sleepover with friends, make sure your child is prepared with their own special kid's bag.

Must-Have Travel Accessories for Little Explorers

Upgrade your child's travel experience with these handy accessories that complement their luggage perfectly.

Drink Bottles: Keep your little one hydrated on the go with a fun and functional drink bottle.

Hats: Protect them from the sun's rays with a stylish and comfortable hat.

Lunch Bags: Pack a delicious and nutritious meal in a cute and insulated lunch bag.

Don't forget other essentials like neck pillows, eye masks, and travel games to keep them entertained during long journeys. With the right accessories, you can turn any trip into a fun and memorable adventure for your little explorer.

Packing Tips for Stress-Free Family Travel

Packing for your little adventurer doesn't have to be a stressful experience. Here are some tips to make the most of their suitcase space:

Utilise packing cubes or compartmentalised bags to organise clothes, toiletries, and other essentials.

Roll clothes instead of folding them to save space and minimise wrinkles.

Place heavier items like shoes at the bottom of the suitcase for better weight distribution.

Pack pyjamas and easy-access items like socks and underwear on top for quick changes.

Invest in clear toiletry bags to easily identify and locate toiletries.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure your child has everything they need for their trip, all packed neatly and efficiently in their very own luggage.

Prioritising Safety When Travelling with Kids

Safety first! When travelling with kids' luggage, it's important to be mindful of a few precautions.

Keep luggage within sight at all times, especially in crowded areas like airports and train stations.

Teach your child to never leave their bag unattended.

Secure zippers with TSA-approved locks to deter theft and keep belongings safe.

Choose lightweight luggage that your child can easily handle and manoeuvre.

Label luggage clearly with your child's name and contact information in case it gets lost.
