Children’s suitcases by age – finding the right size
Different suitcase sizes are suitable depending on your child’s age:
- From 3 years: Small ride-on suitcases and trolleys with a capacity of 18–25 litres (approx. 40–45 cm in height). Perfect for their first trips on their own – light enough to pull themselves and often with a seat function. Particularly popular: Samsonite Dream2Go.
- From 6 years (primary school age): Children’s trolleys with a capacity of 25–35 litres (approx. 45–50 cm). Sturdy enough for school trips and longer holidays. Many models fit as hand luggage on planes.
- From 8–10 years: Children can already use standard carry-on trolleys with a capacity of 30–40 litres. It’s worth taking a look at small suitcases in child-friendly designs.
What matters when choosing a children’s suitcase?
- Lightweight: So that children can pull their suitcase themselves – models weighing under 2 kg are ideal. Our range of lightweight suitcases offers plenty of options.
- Wheels & handle: Smooth-rolling wheels and a height-adjustable handle make handling child-friendly. Suitcases with 4 wheels are particularly easy to manoeuvre.
- Durable material: Hard-shell suitcases made from polycarbonate or ABS can withstand even the wildest adventures.

Frequently asked questions about children’s suitcases
What size should a children’s suitcase be?
Suitcases with a capacity of 18–28 litres (40–45 cm in height) are suitable for children aged 3–6. For primary school children aged 6 and over, 28–40 litres (45–50 cm) is suitable. Important: The child should be able to pull the suitcase themselves – make sure it is lightweight, under 2 kg.
Are children’s suitcases allowed as hand luggage?
Yes, most children’s suitcases up to 55 cm are permitted as hand luggage. Children under 2 years of age are not entitled to their own hand luggage on many airlines. From the age of 2, children are generally allowed to take their own piece of hand luggage.
Which children’s suitcase is the best?
Particularly popular are the Samsonite Dream2Go (ride-on suitcase for little ones) and the Travelite Minimover (robust and lightweight). For older children, standard hand luggage trolleys in child-friendly designs are also suitable. Look for 4 wheels and a height-adjustable handle.
At what age does a child need their own suitcase?
From around 3 years old, children can pull a small children’s suitcase themselves. This encourages independence and turns the journey into an adventure. For younger children, we recommend a lightweight children’s rucksack.
Which children’s suitcases are suitable for girls?
At markenkoffer.de, you’ll find children’s suitcases for girls featuring popular motifs such as unicorns, princesses and animals in bright colours. The colourful Samsonite Dream2Go models and Heys children’s suitcases with 3D motifs are particularly popular.
Are there children’s suitcases with 4 wheels?
Yes, many children’s trolleys feature 4 smooth-running double wheels (spinners) that can rotate 360°. This makes manoeuvring at the airport and whilst travelling much easier – even for little hands.
