The JetKids case is also 5cm taller than the Trunki, which makes for a more comfortable seating position. I’ve travelled with a Trunki before but it always felt as though the kids could topple over at any moment and I found it tricky to turn or change direction when pulling it along. It's just as easy to pull my six-year-old son along on it as my three-year-old daughter and both feel safe and secure in transit. The quality of the build is hands down my favourite feature of this suitcase. Made from thick ABS plastic, it feels strong and sturdy, and the front swivel wheels make it super easy to manoeuvre and to turn - very handy for those long and winding passport control queues. The JetKids case offers a really smooth ride.

But the JetKids BedBox is a great investment if you’re planning to fly long-haul with the kids and haven’t got the budget for business class seats. It didn’t fit under the seat in front of us when testing so we had to put it in the overhead compartment for take-off and landing, which felt a little cumbersome. However, the BedBox functionality isn’t approved for use on some airlines (including British Airways, although travellers report that they’ve used it without issue) and the dimensions (46 x 20 x 36cm) fall outside most budget airline hand luggage policies so you may have to pay extra to take it onboard. It’s a brilliant design (dreamt up by an airline engineer and parent of three) and it’s a game-changer for long-haul economy flights. And it meant that we could slip books, magazines, a tablet, headphones and snacks into the case to take onboard with us. I found the BedBox simple to set up when onboard and it provided a comfy space for my toddler to kick back (and nap!) in during a recent four-hour flight. Bigger than a Trunki and with front swivel wheels, this sturdy piece of kit glides smoothly through airport terminals and is a fun way to get kids from A to B, particularly if you’ve dropped your pram off at check-in. When you get on board and they get tired, it takes just 5 simple steps to get them bed ready.The Stokke JetKids BedBox is both a ride-on suitcase and an in-flight bed - a genius multi-use travel accessory for frequent family travellers. When they get tired in the airport they jump on and mum / dad can pull them along. Get your little one to pack their favourite goodies into the BedBox for use while on board too. It’s a ride on suitcase that doubles as a bed/leg rest.

Bronwyn enjoyed being able to have her feet up whilst watching movies on board and she did sleep for a good few hours on her flight. It was easy to inflate and attach to the seat. Mum Sally was hopeful that the Fly Legs Up would make 4 year old Bronwyn’s first long haul flight more comfortable and help her sleep.
