Brilliant design
April 21, 2021
We loved this suitcase for my daughter (age 3), and she loved it just as much! We typically travel by plane quite a bit, but with the pandemic, we haven't done so at all until recently, when we made a cross-country move, requiring us to be on a plane. I was nervous to be in the airport with two young kids and lots of luggage, but the JetKids Bed Box suitcase helped a *ton*. We wheeled my daughter on it (she had a great time), and were able to fit all of her things inside next to the mattress/pad for the plane seat. It felt safe, she felt like a "big kid," and it was practical. It easily fit on the security belt and under the seat during take-off/landing. It acted as a footrest during the flight so she could relax, and we had easy access to her iPad, coloring book, snacks, sanitizer, etc. We didn't use the mattress/seat pad, as we were in first, and it didn't fit the width of the larger seats (and was generally unnecessary), but the concept is really smart, and we did try it out at home and liked it. Overall, the design is really quite brilliant, and the interactive piece for the child (riding on the suitcase) is great to keep them focused on getting from point A to point B without running all over the place. I also found it quite easy to sling the suitcase over my shoulder when I needed to carry it, the switching of the straps was relatively easy (although it did get caught a few times, and it's a little bulky when carrying it this way), but it worked. I also *loved* the Jetkids backpack. It was SO cute on my daughter, fit her perfectly, and the little details, like the airplane seatbelt buckle as the clasp, are genius. The BedBox and the backpack together make for a perfect pair, without having the need to jam your kid's stuff into your own bag on top of it all. I really did love all of this, and was so thrilled to have it for this particularly stressful trip. Special thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this kids suitcase and sleeper!
