JetKids Stokke Travel Bundle, Black - Includes BedBox Ride-On Suitcase & Backpack - Best for Kids 2-7 Years Old (Up to 77 lbs)

Skeptical at first but decided to give it a shot. This thing was such an arm saver and reduced all around fussiness during long flights!

When we were preparing for an upcoming two weeks vacation, the Stokke Kid's Ride-On Suitcase & In-Flight Bed seemed like a great idea for our five year old. It would allow us to move more quickly through airports and train stations since we could either pull him or he could pull his suitcase himself. Plus it would provide an option for him to be able to curl up and sleep more comfortably on planes and trains and most importantly, it would allow him to carry his own toys, books, paper and similar, freeing up valuable luggage space and lessening the weight that the parents had to carry.Note the words "seemed like a great idea" above.On the first day, the five year old was opening the lid and the entire button depressing mechanism on one side broke out of the plastic housing. This made it impossible to actually close the lid since it now only was held on to the top of the suitcase on one side, not both. Luckily we travel with some random straps so were able to at least work around this issue.On the third day, the five year old was being pulled through a train station when one of the wheels broke off. The suitcase does not have an axle; it instead has some molded plastic on each side that is the housing for the wheels to connect into. Based on the wear pattern in the photo, the wheel first was damaged as it was digging into the plastic before eventually breaking completely to the point we could no longer roll the suitcase. Again, he is five years old and weighs 45 lbs/20 kg. The product is rated for 3-7 years old and he is a small-normal sized five year old. He had ridden on the suitcase for maybe two hours at this point, before it became useless.On the fourth day, three of the four screws that hold the lid sliding mechanism in place ripped out, rendering it incapable of being transformed into a bed. It is worth noting that we were not even using the lid sliding mechanism at the time. I opened the case to get out some toys and part of the lid was hanging off on the inside.At this point we stopped using the Stokke Kid's Ride-On Suitcase & In-Flight Bed as anything other than an awkward bag that the parents had to carry around. It failed as a Suitcase. It failed as a Ride-On and it now would fail as an In-Flight Bed if we tried to use it. We honestly would have been better off just chucking it into the trash and buying a cheap duffel bag rather than continuing to carry it around; at least a duffel is easier to carry.Unfortunately for us, we purchased the product about two months before we travelled, so the return window had expired before we even used it. For any future purchasers, please make sure you take it out for a few trial runs before actually going on a trip so you don't end up with the same hassle that we had.For us, attempting to use the Stokke Kid's Ride-On Suitcase & In-Flight Bed for an actual vacation was not worth the hassle and frustration since the product broke in so many different ways in such a short time of using it.

This suitcase is a LIFE SAVER for those w/toddlers! My son rode this all through the airport and it prevented so many meltdowns and/or requests to be carried! Totally worth it! Even comes with stickers to decorate it!

We bought this for our 2yo daughter’s first long flight (9.5hrs). After the purchase, I was made aware from a friend that some airlines do not allow these to be utilized on the flights, one of them being United. We happened to be flying United. We took the chance and brought it with. We did have a window seat for our daughter, we decided we were going to set it up. The flight attendants did not have an issue with it for both flights. Worked awesome and easy set up. Plus, we now take it everywhere we fly and our daughter adds a sticker from each travel spot!

We love our new travel accessory but the box was missing the pull strap and we’re frantically searching to find a replacement before our trip…

The media could not be loaded. I ordered via prime at least two weeks prior to our flight. I did so just in case there were defects on the product. It arrived today, and sure enough, no defects that I’ve noticed. Even with Amazon shipping the box inside of a larger box, with no padding.I will be to beta test around the house with my son when he wakes up from his nap and re-review later. So far I am incredibly impressed.There is a luggage tag on the backpack but not on the bedbox. I will be putting our information on the box directly with a label maker. No problem. :)

Great product my child loved riding it in the airport and the the leg extension part was helpful for sleeping on the plane. Seems sturdy enough. Only drawback is that the strap is not as easy to switch and has no other handle when need to quickly pick up the luggage when getting in and out of the plane.

The idea was great but the product quality was poor. One of the wheels were broken by the connecting flight (first day ever used). And we DID NOT check this, as we wanted to keep it from being banged around in baggage check. For the price I expected much more. I’m disappointed in the amount of money I paid and would not recommend this to anyone. Wish I could get a refund!
