It offers shock-absorbing front wheels for when your child needs a break from walking and can also be carried by a shoulder strap or pulled along. Kids will view it as pure entertainment, and the ride-on and flip-up sleep-on features are fun to experiment with. We were also seriously impressed by Hype’s blue splat small suitcase for older kids, and Dudley the Dinosaur Trunki for tiny travellers.

Bag Tracking: This bag has been labelled with a unique code and The Luggage Collective's contact details; in the event that the bag gets lost and we are contacted we will help reunite you with your bag. It’s also important to consider how long your family can use this piece if making more of an investment. Fold out seats: This is when the luggage comes with a fold-out seat option as part of the actual suitcase, ideal for toddlers/early walkers.This is a brilliant kids travel accessory, especially if you are planning to take taxis to and from the airport or for sightseeing once you arrive in your destination. If you just want a backpack as a carry-on bag for kids, then really any kids’ school backpack will do. This sweet luggage solution looks like any other hard-shell suitcase on wheels until you realise there’s a little scooter deck built into the back of the case. While Paul is loath to reveal his age, he will admit to cutting his IT teeth on a TRS-80 (although he won't say which version).

Personal experience: We’re yet to actually use it properly at airports, because my older son doesn’t get the mechanism of the scooter properly and it would take forever to get through the airport.Two designs well worth considering as a transit solution for toddlers are the Mountain Buggy Skyrider and the Lugabug Travel Seat. It has a fold-down foot platform, a handlebar with rubber grips that locks into place, and three smooth-gliding wheels. That means bags covered in colourful designs, pretty patterns, and cute characters – as long as they’re durable enough to stand up to plenty of knocks and bumps. It’s a good option for when you simply do not have enough hands and don’t want the inconvenience of an extra stroller, but your toddler still cannot walk far independently. Some kids might be ready for a ride on suitcase at 2, some others might not be ready until closer to 4.
