MiaMily Check In: size, packing and when to use it

The Check In brings the MiaMily ride-on to full suitcase size: 77 litres, the same patented seat and seatbelt, and a wider base for stability. Here is what it holds and how families use it.

What it includes

• The patented built-in seat, for children and adults.

• An anti-scratch textured polycarbonate shell.
• A Limited Lifetime Warranty.

How it compares with the Carry On

The Check In holds about 1.8 times as much as the Carry On. Empty, it weighs 2.2 kg more, which you will notice lifting it into the car boot but not while pulling it.

It is checked luggage, not a cabin case. The seat still earns its place: use it from the kerb to bag drop, and again from the baggage carousel to the car.

When the Check In makes sense

• Overseas trips or holidays of a week or more.
• Packing bulky items.
• Packing for more than one child in one case.
• A bigger child riding, where the wider base adds stability.
• You already have a cabin bag and want the ride-on to be your checked case.
