*Themaximum score is 100 points
On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.1 stars. In some cases, the children’s suitcase is criticised for not being stable enough to sit on. On the other hand, the colourful design, robust material and smooth gliding and manoeuvring are positively highlighted. In our practical test, we were able to confirm the positive points. However, we were unable to understand the criticism, as one of our children was able to sit on the carrycot without any problems.
Prices of over €150 are charged on the internet for equivalent products. Very affordable products are available from as little as €45 . With a price of €59.99, the children’s suitcase from REISERACKER is therefore currently in the lower price segment. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
