Get your frequent flyers handling their own luggage in a super-cute rolling bag from Skip Hop. Choose between several animal designs, and don’t forget to slip some all-important snacks and entertainment in the easy-to-reach front zipper pouch. When kiddos get tired, parents can adjust the strap on the back for easy transport.
