Lugabug Child Travel Chair (Black/Grey)

Product Information

Weight is spread evenly across four corners of the case and, as the spinner wheels can move in all directions rather than just back and forth, you’ll be able to glide through airports with a smooth 360˚ motion. This is exactly what Take Off have created, meaning that many travellers have already hoodwinked airline staff by quickly removing the wheels on their cases before being asked to prove its size. I can charge my phone no matter where I am and have found it useful for charging devices when at home, too.

The four wheels make for smooth 360˚ rolling and for added security there’s a fixed three-digit lock and a discreet address label at the back of the case. I really liked that it was double lined, with several pockets on the inside and out, and I was surprised to find a padded laptop sleeve inside too – my 13” laptop fit in with plenty of room to spare. Made from polypropylene, this hard-shell case is strong and sturdy but surprisingly light and easy to manoeuvre. The lightweight telescopic handle and the padded handles on the top and side are easy to grip, and the strong double-stitching protects against airport-security scuffs. Whether you’re in the market for a slick investment piece or a cheap and cheerful – but nevertheless robust – option, we’ve rounded up the best hand luggage for every budget and airline.

We’ve waded through the masses of bags, holdalls and suitcases on offer, to bring you the best in show from across the board. The only downside is that if you opt for a larger bag – say the easyJet size – it probably won’t fit in the baggage sizer for either Ryanair or Wizz Air. Choose well and good cabin luggage could serve you for many years to come, from Parisian minibreaks to Croatian festivals to German Christmas markets – and everything in between. If you're a frequent flyer, this is a worthy investment – in addition to numerous internal and external pockets and compartments, including a laptop sleeve and a water bottle pouch, it also has an over-handle sleeve, making it an ideal option to take on a long-haul flight.

Tidy travellers will appreciate the four internal mesh pockets for neat storage and the two external pockets for easy-to-access items. Designed in the UK, this compact carry-on backpack weighs less than 1kg but is deceptively roomy, with a 44l capacity. S. News Travel, likes the construction of her similar Samsonite suitcase, which she's been traveling with for years. However, you could always opt for a Ryanair sized bag to make sure you’re sorted for all options in the future.When testing these bags, we look for function, design features, quality and overall value for money. It complies with most European budget airline hand-luggage rules and its nifty soft-sided design means it’s easy to stow under the seat in front of you. Garment bags:These are also considered carry-on baggage by most airlines, and many garment bagsoffer pockets for storing additional travel essentials.

It's also easy to maneuver, even with another bag attached to the handle by a trolley sleeve," Pratesi adds.

A hard-shell suitcase will offer the best protection for your items and, although it might pick up a few scuffs, it won’t see as much wear and tear as a canvas or polyester bag. Try not to overfill the bag though, as it can get quite bulky in its bigger state which means you could struggle to fit it into the baggage sizer if asked. S. News contributor, recommends this bag for international travel or trips with a lot of walking through busy airports and train stations. Hard-shell cases rarely feature outer pockets, though, which can be handy for storing easy-to-grab items.
