When looking to purchase new luggage for your trip, it can be a difficult process as there are so many different types, shapes, sizes and styles of cases on the market. So how do you choose the best one, and the one that’s right for you?

This guide will give an insight to all the in’s and out’s of suitcases, enabling you to choose the perfect one.

Size

Obviously suitcases come in many different shapes and sizes. Depending on the type of trip you are taking depends on the style and size. The shorter the trip the smaller the suitcase should be. On the other hand, if you are going for a weekend away, or spending a whole day at a wedding, then a suitcase that can fit everything, is a advisable choice.

Material

This is the tricky part, there are so many different types of materials on the market all claiming to be the best, it’s difficult to decipher which one really is the most resilient. Many cases are made from synthetic materials, which over time allow holes in them to let air in. Many of these holes dry up and expand over time, allowing air to enter the case. Plastic is another common choice of suitcase, as it is sturdy and tough but still able to let air into the case. It offers more resistance than polycarbonate however, and because it is made from plastic it does not dent, scratch or chip.

The perfect suitcase should be able to handle a large amount of weight, be durable, and able to keep its shape. Many of the hard sided cases have a frame to surround the entire suitcase for added support.

Price

There are some really great deals on spares, which are discounts on older style suitcases, this is a really good chance to pick up a suitcase which is well used, with only a few holes in the finish. strut is particularly good for suitcases which have only been used for a few times, as they are still in their original packaging. If this is the case, it is advisable to try and shop around as there are some really good deals to be had online.

Size

Most spares online are available in a varying size range. They are measured in half sizes, quartered and quarteredths. Decide whether you need a case with extra inside pockets on the outside, to give you extra versatility? There are also cyclonic versions, which can be used quickly when travelling, and full size ones, which are more durable and used on a frequent basis.

Style

You are more likely to pick a suitcase based on style than on looks, but there is no right or wrong. Choose a suitcase which suits your personality and image! A suitcase is a long term investment, much like a car. Choose a stylish, sophisticated looking case. If you are young and fun, then look for a suitcase that is fun and adventurous.

Stroller Straps

One of the most important factors to consider is the stroller straps. A good stroller strap system will include both a backpack strap and a shoulder strap. Many of these same straps are able to be taken off and put on easily, which is a good thing, as it allows for easy access to smaller areas like stairs where you might trip.

There are also stroller straps for twins. If you are double-oured or have twins, then you’ll need one strap to carry one child, and one to carry the other. Children are theforemost reason why a bouncer seat should be purchased. You can have them together in one location, or let them face each other like in a classroom.

(There are also some baby accessories like a bassinet bassinet entrance panel that you can add to your stroller to make it easier for maneuvering in confined areas.)

Light Comforts

You can expect to get a lot of use out of the stroller in the daily commute. The stroller seat will be comfortable for the child, as it has a high back. The child should be very comfortable as well! Make sure it is easy to get in and out of the seat as well!

There are plenty of accessories that you can add to your stroller to customize it to your wants and needs. Once its customized, you’ll be able to enjoy using it.
