MiaMily

Somewhere between check-in and the gate, your toddler stops walking. You're then carrying a child in one arm and steering a suitcase with the other, which nobody has ever managed gracefully. MiaMily builds the answer to that specific moment: luggage your child sits on while you keep moving.

One Problem, Solved Properly 

Plenty of brands make a children's suitcase with a novelty seat bolted on, and they tend to fall apart or tip over. MiaMily has taken the harder route, engineering the case around the riding rather than the other way round. The structure is rated to take an adult's weight as well as a child's, which is the detail that tells you how it's built, and it's the reason parents end up perching on it themselves during a delay when every seat at the gate is taken. It's a narrow product range because it's aimed squarely at one problem, and that focus shows.

Built for the Terminal, Not the Driveway 

The details are the airport ones. A seatbelt holds your child in place while the case is rolling, which matters when you're moving at pace through a crowd. The wheels rotate through 360 degrees so the case turns rather than drags, and that's what makes steering it one-handed possible with a passenger aboard. There's a TSA-approved combination lock for the contents, so security can open it without cutting anything off. And the colour range runs to seven, from Champagne Gold and Dusty Pink through to Charcoal Grey and Forest Green, which is a rare thing in luggage aimed at families and worth noting if you'd rather not travel with something covered in cartoons.

Where MiaMily Earns Its Place 

• Long terminals: the stretch from check-in to boarding is where a ride-on case pays for itself, and it sits with the rest of ourplane travel range.

• Instead of a second pram: for a toddler who's mostly walking, a case they can ride often replaces packing atravel pram altogether, which is one less thing to gate-check.

• Two sizes: the Multi Carry Luggage at 18 in covers most trips, and the Carry On Plus gives you more packing space in Navy Blue or Burgundy Red. Both belong with the widerbaby travel bags range.

• Once you land: the same case moves a tired child through an unfamiliar airport at the other end, which is when you'll need it most.

• The rest of the trip: somewhere to sleep and something to keep them occupied are the other two problems, covered in ourtravel range. 

Cabin size limits vary between airlines, so check the exterior measurements against the carrier you're flying with rather than assuming a case marked carry-on will pass everywhere.
