Ride-on Suitcases

Ride-on suitcases are one of the most popular travel gadgets ever made for children, and are sold in their millions each year. Kids love them, and parents love them! Why? Because they solve some of the hassles experienced when travelling with small children.

Riding through the big airports on a ride-on suitcase is a fun experience for kids, and solves that part of the journey in a positive way. And since most ride on suitcases are made within hand luggage dimensions, the kids are able to bring their favourite items on-board.

But what about the part of the journey that you spend in the air? For many parents, the real hassle about traveling starts when entering the aircraft. The children usually get tired and exhausted during the flight, and many of them need their sleep. However, the sleeping opportunities for children on-board most aircrafts are very limited.

FAQ

What is BedBox®?

BedBox® is the ultimate travel gadget for children from 0 years, all the way up to 6-7 years. It is your child´s hand luggage, ride-on suitcase and inflight bed, in the very same box.

What about the safety when used in "bedmode" during flight?

BedBox® is developed by a former aircraft engineer, pilot, parents and frequent travellers, in cooperation with one of the best design agencies in Norway. It is designed with safety and comfort in mind, and can be used during the cruise portion of the flight. It shall not be used during taxi, take-off, landing or turbulence.

Is it difficult to use?

No. It is easily set up in a few seconds, by following the simple instructions under the lid. It is also very easy to stow away before landing.

Can the BedBox® be used on any seat?

BedBox® should preferably be used on window seats on single aisle aircrafts. If flying on wide-body aircrafts with twin aisle, it should preferably be used on either window seats, or on the middle seats, if sitting in the middle row, between the aisles.

What should I do when my child has outgrown the flat bed-feature, but still need to sleep?

Older kids need to sleep on-board airplanes as well. A good tip for a more comfortable sleeping position for the older kids is to use the BedBox® as a comfortable footrest, and thereby convert the regular economy class seat into a Business Class seat. Turn the lid around, and adjust it to the proper height to allow the child to rest their feet. This, in combination with a reclined seatback, is very comfortable for a child that doesn’t reach the floor with their feet. Although not “First Class”, still “Business Class”

Does the bed-feature require the child to have its own seat?

BedBox® is at it´s best if used in a separate seat. If you travel with infants under 2 years old that don't have their own seat, we recommend asking staff at check-in or gate if there are any available seats on-board. Our experience is that families with small children are prioritized on these seats. However, our customers have reported that it is possible to use the BedBox® between two seats, with armrest in the upward position. This is most likely to be successful if done between an adult and another child.

Does every airline approve the bed/leg-rest function?
BedBox has been assessed and approved by many major international airlines. Happy and well rested children is important to them as well. However, we cannot guarantee all airlines will approve its use, and final decision will always rest with the cabin crew. For more information, please see our approved airlines list (visible throughout our website), read this article, or contact us for advice.

The bed/leg-rest feature of the BedBox looks so comfortable! Does it compromise safety?
No, we believe using the bed/leg-rest feature of the BedBox properly does quite the opposite. On a long flight, either we like it or not, children will naturally become tired and will eventually need to rest or sleep. Traditionally, this has been solved by letting children sleep curled up in their seat or across a seat row like this (or even on the floor!). Although sleeping across a seat row is widely accepted and usually not a problem, it is not optimum in case of unexpected turbulence. Using the bed/leg rest feature of the BedBox will better allow using the aircraft seat belt, while still having a super comfortable place to sleep or rest.

In addition, the BedBox has already passed safety assessments by many major airlines.

Are there any limitations for using the bed/leg-rest feature during air travel?
Yes, it is intended to be used during the cruise portion of the flight only, and must be stowed away during taxi, take-off, landing or turbulence.

Can the BedBox be used on any aircraft seat?
BedBox should be used on window seats on single aisle aircrafts. If flying on wide-body aircrafts with twin aisle, it should preferably be used on either window seats, or on the middle seats, if sitting in the middle row, between the aisles.

Can the BedBox and RideBox be used for travel other than on an airplane?
Yes, BedBox and RideBox are perfect travel companions, and can in many cases be used as a comfortable leg rest on trains and ferries.

Can the BedBox be used during turbulence?
No, just like most baby bassinets that you will find on some limited number of aircrafts, it shall not be used during turbulence. However, to better secure towards unexpected turbulence, we recommend always using the seat belt in combination with the use of BedBox, and use the strap to secure the BedBox in place.

What is the maximum length for using the bed/leg-rest feature in a typical aircraft seat?
Some airlines have better seat pitch than others. Seat pitch is usually between 82-90 cm. BedBox can be used as a comfortable leg rest for children up to 120-130cm. Children up to 100-110 cm might also be able to curl up and lay down comfortably on their side.

Are BedBox and RideBox FAA/EASA etc approved?
Personal comfort devices and carry-on suitcases such as BedBox and RideBox are normally not subject to a specific approval from the aviation authorities. They are brought on board for personal comfort and convenience and can be used at the discretion of the crew, and within their limitations.

For BedBox, as with most other personal items brought on board, the user is responsible for ensuring proper use according to the user instructions.

Is there enough space for other items in the suitcase?
Yes, the mattress does not take up much volume, so there is plenty of space for other favorite items as well. The total capacity of the BedBox is 20 liters.

In which direction should the child be positioned when using the bed/leg-rest feature?
We recommend a position with the feet towards the seat in front. This will better allow using the seatbelt in combination with bed/leg-rest feature of the BedBox. Even though this is not a strict requirement, it is always recommended and a good practice to use the seatbelt whenever seated.

What happens if the seat in front is reclined? Will it affect normal usage of the bed/leg-rest feature?
This has been tested on many different economy seats with a normal recline angle. Since the platform height of the BedBox is so low, and close to the rotation/hinge point of the backrest of the seat in front, this will usually not be a problem.

Are the wheels lockable?
No, the wheels are not lockable. To secure the BedBox in place, we recommend using the shoulder/pulling strap around the base rail under your child's seat.

Can BedBox be used on bulkhead seats (without a seat in front)?
If BedBox is properly secured to the aircraft seat with the help of the strap, it is possible to use it on bulkhead seats. However, BedBox is primarily designed to be used between two seat rows, as this will give better support and stability.
