Why Level8 Suitcases Are Revolutionary for Families Traveling (Especially with Children)
Our family's routine has always revolved around travel. My spouse and I have always prioritized seeing our children as much of the world as possible, whether it be through impromptu road trips or international flights to visit relatives. But let us face it, navigating customs with children is not always easy. It requires preparation, perseverance, and the appropriate equipment, as I have discovered over the years.
Apps, snacks, and even matching airport attire are not the unsung heroes of seamless family travel, as I have learned after countless miles, mini-meltdowns, missed connections, and wonderful moments. They are our bags. We recently learned about Level8, and to be honest, it completely transformed the game for us.
Reasons for Selecting Level 8 for Our Children
Seeing your kids handle their own luggage like little jet-setters is a bittersweet milestone. However, it also entails selecting luggage that is made to last, both aesthetically and structurally.
This is what we required:
Spinner wheels and carry-on size (because airports are obstacle courses).
It would be a style that would last for a year (sorry, Spiderman).
It is portable, useful, and durable enough for frequent usage.
Go to Level 8.
The Models We Selected (And The Reasons Behind Their Success)
My daughter fell in love with the Elegance 20" in blush pink right away, while my son chose the blue Voyageur Carry-On. Technically, both are carry-on sized, but really? They are more than sufficient for a week-long getaway. There is space for pajamas, sandals, swimwear, and a cuddly toy (or three).
One of my favorite things about it is the waterproof pocket. Ideal for sandy flip-flops or wet swimwear following that final swim before check-out. Little things like this make me question how we managed to travel without them.
Sanity Saved via Smooth Gliding
Before I actually used these, I did not realize how much of a difference four spinner wheels make. These roll upright and glide smoothly next to you, unlike conventional two-wheel rollers that clunk and drag behind you like a grumpy toddler.
There will be no more bags bumping into your child's heels. No more pulling through congested terminals and tipping. It is a minor improvement that has a significant effect.
Our trip day was much easier to handle when I saw my children move their bags through the airport with ease. It felt like a rite of passage.
Adult Fashion, Child-Proof Style
Admittedly, there was a part of me that missed the days of superhero and princess luggage. It looked "babyish" all of a sudden, but I also knew we needed something our kids would not give up on in a year. The designs by Level8 are elegant, simple, and ageless.
The blue Voyageur luggage looks sleek and classic, and the blush pink Elegance suitcase exudes sophistication without being overly somber. They are young without being immature, which is a rare quality in parenting.
TSA Locks: A Child's Preoccupation
Let us discuss locks that have been approved by the TSA. They seem like a fantastic security feature to me. For my children? They resemble James Bond devices.
You will not hear about the waterproof sections or wheels when you ask them about their new luggage. You will learn in detail how the locks operate, how "only TSA people can unlock them," and why it is the most awesome thing ever. With the suitcase as a bonus accessory, they treat the lock as the focal point.
I can not really blame them.
Would I repurchase them?
Yes, without question.
Over the years, we have tested a number of luggage manufacturers, and while several make the claims that they are "lasting" or "family-friendly," very few truly meet these claims. Level 8 bags are suitable. They are long-lasting, fashionable, intelligent, and made with actual travel in mind.
The fact that my children can now roll their own bags without assistance across cobblestone streets, up hotel ramps, and through airports? We all win because of that.
The Decision
Level8 is well worth the money if you are a parent searching for kid-sized luggage that does not seem like kid gear—something they will love today and still use in two years. Not only are these carry-ons useful, but they also give kids more self-assurance and save parents' sanity.
These luggage significantly reduce the burden, both physically and mentally, whether you are traveling for a family reunion or a short weekend retreat.
We can all benefit from that kind of update in the crazy world of family vacations.
