Kids Luggage Australia - Children's Suitcases and Travel Bags for Little Travellers
Travelling with children is infinitely more fun when they have their very own luggage. A kids suitcase gives children a sense of ownership and independence - they can pack their own things, wheel their own bag through the airport, and feel like a real part of the travel adventure. At Peekaboo Baby we stock a range of kids luggage and children's suitcases in Australia, from soft carry-on bags and character-themed hard-shell cases to ride-on suitcases that double as a scooter through the terminal. Perfect for holidays, sleepovers, and school camps - and they make brilliant gifts too.
Our kids luggage range features popular character themes, bright colours, and durable construction designed to survive the rigours of family travel. Look for lightweight cases with smooth-rolling wheels, telescoping handles that adjust for little hands, and TSA-approved locks for peace of mind during flights. Pair with our kids backpacks and Skip Hop Zoo backpacks for a complete travel set. For more gift ideas, browse our gifts by age and gift ideas collections.
What to look for in kids luggage
- Appropriate size - For airline cabin luggage, check the size requirements of your airline. Most kids carry-on bags are designed to fit within standard overhead locker dimensions. Smaller cases suit younger children who cannot manage heavy bags.
- Weight when empty - Kids suitcases should be as light as possible when empty, giving children more room to pack without exceeding weight limits. Spinner wheels distribute weight better than two-wheel cases.
- Spinner wheels - Four 360-degree spinner wheels are much easier for children to manage than two-wheel cases. They can roll the case at their side rather than dragging it behind them.
- Adjustable handle height - A telescoping handle with multiple height settings lets the case grow with the child and be used comfortably by adults when needed.
- Character or design appeal - Children are much more likely to care for and use luggage they chose themselves. Let them pick their favourite character or colour to build ownership.
- Durable shell and zips - Look for impact-resistant shells and reinforced zip tracks that can handle airport conveyor belts and overhead lockers without damage.

Kids Luggage and Children's Suitcases - Frequently Asked Questions
For most children aged 3-8, a 16-18 inch cabin bag is the right size - large enough to hold essentials but light enough for the child to manage. Children aged 8 and up can typically manage a larger 20-inch case. Always check your airline's cabin luggage dimensions before buying.
Most airports permit ride-on suitcases as carry-on luggage as long as they meet size and weight requirements. Check with your specific airline before flying, as policies can vary. Generally, ride-on suitcases must be carried (not ridden) through security screening.
Look for a lightweight hard-shell case with four spinner wheels, a multi-height telescoping handle, and TSA-approved lock. A hard shell protects contents better during luggage handling, and spinner wheels make it much easier for children to manage. A bright or distinctive design also makes it easy to spot on the baggage carousel.
Most children from around 3-4 years old enjoy having their own small case, though a parent will likely need to help with heavier or longer distances. From around 5-6, children can manage a lightweight spinner case independently for shorter distances. The key is choosing a case light enough for the child to handle comfortably.
Wipe down the exterior of hard-shell cases with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For soft-sided bags, spot clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry. Clean the interior regularly with a fabric cleaner or antibacterial wipe, especially after trips.
