The size of a kids' suitcase typically ranges from 18 to 21 inches, depending on the child's age and the length of the trip.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
-
For Younger Children (Toddlers to Elementary School Age): An 18-inch wheeled suitcase is usually appropriate. This size is manageable for them to pull or for parents to carry when needed.
-
For Older Children and Teenagers: A 21-inch suitcase is generally a good choice. This offers more packing space for longer trips and more belongings.
While these are common sizes, consider these factors when choosing a suitcase for your child:
- Trip Length: A longer trip requires a larger suitcase.
- Packing Needs: Does your child need to pack bulky items like shoes or sports equipment? If so, consider a slightly larger bag.
- Airline Restrictions: Check the specific size and weight restrictions of the airline you're flying with, especially for carry-on bags.
- Child's Ability: Ensure your child can comfortably handle the suitcase's weight and maneuver it through airports or train stations.
