Our conclusion on the Samsonite Funny Face Croco children’s case

Samsonite has many years of experience in the design and manufacture of travel trolleys for adults. This expertise can also be seen in the Samsonite children’s case. The funny design (e.g. crocodile, ladybird, bee or owl) hides a solid, processed case with a polyester cover. This has the advantage that even with a full suitcase, a T-shirt or pajamas extra fits. Hard shell models tend to have a faster layer in the shaft at this point. The Samsonite children’s trolley can be easily pulled by the little ones behind the handlebar. However, some customers complain that the telescopic rod cannot be determined. Also, the children’s suitcase should not be loaded too heavily, otherwise it can only be pulled with difficulty. All in all, this model is recommended for children from 3 years. Some parents report that their 2-year-old child is already getting along with the Samsonite Croco children’s case. Here you should simply decide for yourself how far your own offspring is …
