Luggage for the kids

[vivianmarie244]

Where is the best place to find a lightweight but durable suitcase for my kids to share. Of course, if I get the DD credit card I won't have to worry about them sharing since I'll get free baggage check. But I'm still up in the air about that. So, anyway, I want to get one that will be big enough to share without going over the 50 lbs. BTW, the kids will be 5 & 7 when we go.

If you don't want a matched set I got some nice light weight samsonite at marshalls.

I bought two sets at Big Lots over 6 years ago. I can't remember the brand and dont want to go look now, but they have held up well with multiple airplane trips. The possible down side is the limited color choices. One set is bright orange, but my DH actually likes to take the orange ones because they are easy to spot in baggage claim.

Garden Ridge usually has some nice cute luggage and the large ones are about $40. Which is what I paid for my daughter's small personalized one from an online luggage store.
