Children’s Suitcases – The Perfect Travel Companion for the Little Ones
Are you planning a weekend trip, a short break or even a flight, and is your child coming along? As well as the excitement of the trip, it’s of course extremely important for your child to decide which clothes – and, above all, which toys – to take along, so that they can feel at home wherever they go. What could be better than their very own children’s suitcase, which holds all the essentials and looks great too? That way, your child can set off on their next journey with complete peace of mind, whilst enjoying the fantastic, colourful design of their very own suitcase.

Choosing the right size
The following size guide will help you choose the right suitcase size based on the length of your trip and your personal packing needs. This way, you can quickly find out whether a compact carry-on suitcase is sufficient for a short trip or whether you’d be better off opting for a medium-sized or large model for longer journeys.
What are the maximum permitted dimensions?
The 158 cm rule sets the maximum permitted size for checked-in luggage on flights. This does not refer to a single edge length, but to the so-called circumference. This is calculated as the sum of the suitcase’s width, height and depth. In practical terms, this means: you measure your suitcase along its three external dimensions (including wheels and handles) and add these values together. The result must not usually exceed 158 cm for the suitcase to still be accepted as standard checked-in luggage. If this measurement is exceeded, the luggage may be classified as bulky luggage depending on the airline and incur additional charges.
| Suitcase size | Duration of trip | Suitcase height | Volume | Hand luggage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suitcase size S | Up to 3 days | 50–55 cm | 35–50 L | Yes |
| Suitcase size M | Up to 7 days | 60–69 cm | 50–80 L | No |
| Suitcase size L | 1–2 weeks | 70–79 cm | 80–100 L | No |
| Suitcase size XL | 2–3 weeks | from 80 cm | 100–140 L | No |
