Carry ons for kids and pre-teens

[ShannyMcB]

After a couple plane trips, several road trips and way too many nights at mema’s to count my kids are in need of a luggage upgrade so thinking of making it part of their Christmas gift.
Looking for recommendations on hard-sided carry on sized luggage without characters….something they will be able to use for at least a couple years that handles well for smaller hands wheeling it around.
Anyone have a favorite brand or one to veer away from? If I can make it work with prime days or kohls cash bonus!

I bought DGD a carry on spinner as a gift when she was about 9 y/o; she recently took it off to college. You can get some well made pieces at Target's, Kohl, TJ Maxxx, etc.
Oh but wait. Just realized you’re looking for hard sided pieces so no personal experience. This website maybe of use: www.wirecutter.com
Just put “hard sided luggage” into the search box.

GL!
