Heys Xcase Mini Perfect For The Little Traveler

I am the homebody in the house and I am not usually that keen on any sort of travel.   When me and my husband first met, I was much more excited to see new places.  We traveled to Europe, a few places here in the United States, and went to New Zealand for our honeymoon.  Since we both have family that lives overseas and all over the United States, we do a fair amount of traveling. With that comes all the hassles and all the luggage, and since we have two children, we now have kid’s luggage to think about as well.

Since having the boys, we have had to adjust the way we pack and how much. When they were babies we could manage getting it all in with our suitcase, but now that they are getting close to the three year mark, they sort of require their own personal piece of luggage.

I have been on the lookout for some of the better pieces of children’s luggage that would sort of stick with them for at least a few years and withstand the rigors of being tossed around into cargo, a three year old tugging it around and something that was sized appropriately for them. I usually prefer a suitcase that is basically a semi hard shell but doesn’t weigh 50 lbs before you even get a pair of pants in it. If you do a lot of travel you know that the airlines will rip you off if you have a suitcase that is even slightly overweight, not to mention the $25 they now charge to even check a bag! Even better for the boys, is a bag they can handle and we can just bring on board.
I was given the opportunity to review and xcase Mini by Heys USA and I must say that I impressed by this suitcase. I love that it is small enough for the boys to handle, and one key factor is how lightweight it is at a mere 4.9 lbs! Another cool feature is that the wheels have led lights in them, so when your child is strolling through the airport you can keep an eye on them, and they also get a big kick out seeing the lights. I wasn’t sure is they would be able to handle a suitcase yet but this made it easy and they fight over who gets to pull it.

Features

The xcase Mini® is the smaller version of Heys famous xcase®. It is ‘Light’ – LITERALLY – as it has special LED LIGHTS within its wheels. These wheels Light-Up when the case is rolled creating a dazzling effect.( Watch the Video ! ). This ‘strobe-light’ effect will surely get you noticed strolling across airport aisles, as if the shiny xcase® hadn’t already garnered enough attention your way. This xcase Mini® is ideal for anyone traveling on a particular airline that has very stringent carry-on restrictions, as some charter airlines restrict carry-ons to only 18″, instead of the industry-standard of 20″ It is also perfect for kids, as its ‘mini’ size suits children better then our standard 20″ xcase®.

The xcase Mini® has the same feature set as the original xcase®, with its curved handle system, internal divider, glossy surface, and of course, it being the World’s Lightest Carry-on at only 4.9 lbs ( 2.2 kg ).

I love the xcase Mini as a suitcase for young children because it is the right size for them to handle, has some really neat features and is roomy enough to hold their clothes or accessories and they are able to easily pull it along. It comes in seven brilliant colors so they are easy to spot and are hard to lose. I think they would make a great first suitcase for your little one and are reasonably priced so they won’t break the bank, even better when you have to buy for more than one child!

Heys USA has a whole selection of beautiful luggage and is well known in the celebrity world for its high class in design and lightweight luggage and accessories. If you are in the market for a good suitcase for kids, the xcase Mini, has this Mom’s seal of approval.
