The best children’s suitcases for a family holiday

The Trunki Una the Unicorn Ride-on Suitcase has an interactive play element with the silky rainbow tail, glittery ears and stickers. It has plenty of room for your little ones things, and even has some secret compartments for keeping their teddy safe. It has an adjustable carry strap too, and the suitcase itself can be used as a seat.

Our Mother&Baby tester said: "This product made my life easier because I could pack most of my daughter’s holiday things in her own bag that she takes pride in holding herself. She is able to pull it along and to sit on it in queues. She played with it so much and was always entertained, it is definitely worth the money!"

With lots of different character designs to choose from, the boppi Tiny Trekker Kids Luggage Bag has two adjustable handle heights to make it more comfortable to pull along. It has a large capacity despite its lightweight design, and it's also a cabin friendly case.

One review said: "We got this for a long trip that would take us via a number of flights. I think it helped with nerves for my little one, and she loved having something to pull herself. It feels high quality, so I imagine it will last as long as we need it to, and long enough to pass it along to others when we're done"

There's plenty of room for your child's belongings in the Little Dutch Children's Suitcase - Sailors Bay Blue. It's made from a canvas material, and has an all over boat print design. It has a carry handle at the top, as well as a retractable pull handle too.

The it Luggage Children's Brick 4 Wheel Hard Cabin Suitcase is a lovely blue and yellow design. It has an embossed shell, with contrast detailing to help make the case stand out. It's a great size for children, and it has four wheels so it can be pulled along next to your child easier.

One review said: "Christmas present based on parents advice. However, they look really good and should please the little travellers. Only reason for not giving 5 stars is the inconsistency in airline carry-on baggage size. OK for some but not for others as far as I can make out. Will probably be used for overnight sleepovers though."

Perfect for Paw Patrol fans, this cute egg shaped suitcase features two smooth-rolling wheels and an extendable handle. Plus the hardcover design includes a convenient zip closure for easy access to your little one's belongings.

One customer said: "It is a Christmas present for my great grandson & he's going to love it. He's a big fan of paw patrol & with this he's going to be taking it all over the place packed with his toys."

It has a wide handle, and plenty of packing space inside, including an internal pocket and an external one.

One review said: "Bought this for my six year old son as hand luggage and it was the perfect fit for cabin size. Super easy to manoeuvre, and the height can be adjusted. Easy to access the case too."

Where can we get one of these for adults?! This Personalised Micro Mint Suitcase Scooter is not only a suitcase, but it has a pulldown kickboard that doubles it up as a scooter! The wheels have LED lights, and the handle is adjustable so that it can be used as a scooter handle, as well as a suitcase handle. There's plenty of space for packing too.

Officially approved by airlines, this ride on suitcase will make your little one feel like they are travelling in style. With five simple steps, a standard economy seat can be turned into a first class seat for children. Plus as you make your way through the airport the suitcase is perfect for kids to ride on, or they can pull it along themselves. It also features an adjustable strap to make it easier to carry and handy top opening.

One reviewer said: "Excellent product, robust and very pretty. The casters are very practical and roll very well in all directions!! As for the bed part, it is very easy to install but the only downside is that the “bed” slides a lot on the plane seat. Self-gripping fabric strips should be added for better stabilization of the bed. In any case I recommend the product!"
