Lugabug Child Travel Chair (Black/Grey)

Product Information

High-quality materials are incredibly important for ride-on suitcases because they’ll help keep your child safe. “To minimize this risk, I’d recommend looking for [an option] that has sturdy swivel wheels to prevent the wheel from catching and your toddler from falling off,” Dr. Mona notes. “You’ll want to look for one with a sturdy base and make sure your child does not exceed the weight limit.”

To mitigate risk with a ride-on suitcase, it’ll come down to the way you and your child are using the suitcase. “It’s important to remember that the risks of riding them are similar to riding a tricycle or a regular scooter,” Dr. Mona explains. “If a child gets moving too fast and falls, they can hurt a limb or bump their head on the ground.” The Skyrider Luxury looks like a regular carry-on suitcase to the untrained eye (albeit a stylish one), but it transforms into a wheelable travel seat for your child. This makes navigating airports much less stressful for parents while giving littles a fun ride through the terminal. Just bear in mind it can only support 33 pounds of extra weight, so it's not suitable for most children over age 3.

Join today! We want you to know As the name implies, this toddler ride-on suitcase serves a dual purpose. One to accommodate items and two, to carry and roll your toddler alongside you when they get tired and cranky from walking. This suitcase comes with spinner wheels that rotate in all directions and a mechanism to fasten your toddler in place while moving them along.It is also possible to reserve a seat for babies under the age of 2. In this case, the reservation can not be made online, but only through customer service. The rate applied to will be the same as adults. In some such details, the seating position for newborns is necessary; for example, if there are only one adult and more than one newborn. All children over the age of 2 can carry the same amount of hand luggage as an adult, plus an additional changing bag. Hand luggage must always be stored under the seat in front of your own.

It’s a tough position to be in [as a parent] when your hands are full and your toddler refuses to move any further,” says Dr. Mona, a board-certified pediatrician and mom. “Ride-on suitcases have become popular because they help solve some of these barriers to travel; they make moving around more fun for young children and also make it easier to get your toddler and their belongings from one point to another.” Your child’s abilities are a better gauge of whether or not they are ready for a ride on a suitcase rather than their age. Early learners may be capable of balancing confidently at just 2 years old whereas others may need a few more years to reach the same point. 3. Which Style of Kids’ Luggage Would Suit You? A thoughtfully designed, ergonomic suitcase is a big plus when a tiny tot is going to be maneuvering it with their little hands. 16-inch bags are best for toddlers to reach, as opposed to 18 and 19 inch bags. While they'll likely be moving at a slow speed, your child might be scootering without a helmet through the airport. If you’re traveling alone with your kids this is a great choice as it means you don’t have to bring yet another piece of luggage to handle. Most places we go we generally only bring one travel stroller for the two kids, but this allows our oldest to have a seat of his own on top of the suitcase to rest after running all around the airport.

It’s never a bad idea to prioritize safety, even with your suitcase. “It’s also worth considering having your little one wear a helmet if they ride a scooter suitcase or ride-on suitcase,” Dr. Mona advises. “It may feel unnecessary but with the excitement of travel and the bustle of a busy, new environment, kids may be distracted and be more prone to injury.”

If there’s a 3-point harness, that’s the best way to go, because as long as you’re paying attention, your child should remain strapped in and safe. “You’ll want to make sure the harness fits snugly, and the shoulder straps should attach at or just above their shoulders,” Dr. Mona says. “Using these items should involve thinking of risk and benefit, and assuring the child is monitored and securely strapped in for optimal safety.” The journey can be just as important and memorable as the destination on holidays with toddlers, which is whygiving your toddler their own luggage to handle can make all the difference. It’s not only more fun for little ones to have their own toddler suitcase to pull (or even ride), but parents might appreciate the extra space!
