Kids' Luggage

From a long weekend at the grandparents’ house to a family vacation that creates memories they’ll cherish forever, you can get your trip off to a smooth start by investing in kids’ luggage from Macy’s.

Children’s wheeled suitcases are crafted with kid-friendly features. And it’s about way more than the colorful characters displayed on them. Handles that curve inward and scale to their heights are key things to look for.

What size suitcases do children need? Read on to get our age-specific advice!

The Best Bet for Kids Under 12
An 18" bag is suitable for pre-schoolers. As children grow, they'll need a suitcase that will provide more space, like a 21" bag. Both an 18" and 21" bag are going to count as youth carry-on luggage with most airlines. Plus, the money you save on checked-bag fees can go toward some great new threads from the Macy’s kids’ vacation shop.

For the Tweens
By the time they’re tweens, they’ll be in checked-bag territory with a 28" suitcase. Of course, some kids will make everything fit in carry-ons supplemented with kids’ backpacks that count as “personal items” for airline purposes. If you go this route, make sure the backpack has a strap that attaches to the handles of children’s wheeled suitcases. It makes navigating an airport easier, particularly if time is tight on a connecting flight.

For Teenagers and Up
For older kids, shop for adult luggage sets. They’ll appreciate the investment in fashionable and functional suitcases for years to come. Multi-purpose luggage options like weekender bags or camping packs are great for teens, too, since they easily tote them on college visits, overnight trips and outdoor adventures.
