Updated review - much better second time around!
July 11, 2022
Last summer, I got one of these for my then-five year old and unfortunately, it broke on its first round of air travel. However, Stokke reached out to me immediately to send a new replacement and made it so easy to exchange the faulty one. Later, we ended up buying another one for my younger child. Both kids love them and we get some many comments and questions from intrigued families when using them! Yesterday, my daughter and I had a nightmare day of travel -- waiting hours for checking in, baggage drop, security and then immigration upon arrival. This suitcase saved us, as my daughter was able to sit comfortably the whole time and not have to stand. I was so, so glad that we hadn't given up on this product and would fully recommend it to all! In terms of product design, it's not always super easy for my kids to steer this, because it has a soft leash-like handle. We have a number of instances of the suitcase bumping into their feet, especially when walking down ramps. I'd love an improved design including a more rigid handle that would allow them to better control their own suitcases. But it's a breeze for grown-ups to pull once you get the hang of how it handles moves and turns, so it's easy enough for me to pull along with my own bag when necessary. Overall, we've been so pleased with these suitcases!
