If you're travelling abroad with children, the last thing you need is luggage that will make the entire experience one to remember for all the wrong reasons. The right luggage can make the journey smoother and less stressful.

You'll need either a cabin-sized bag that can fit all your essentials or a suitcase with plenty of room that's easy to zip up and move around. Popular luggage brand Antler provides both options, with a variety of luggage choices from hard shell to soft shell cabin cases, and cabin bags that you can carry, slip onto your suitcase handle, wear crossbody, on your back, or even wheel along, according to the Mirror.

So whichever style suits your needs, you are likely to find the best luggage for your travels, and since they're made to last and come with features that will make travelling near or far with the kids that little bit easier, there should be no regrets.

Antler luggage may not be within every family's budget, but it's important to note that there are some great budget-friendly options available on Amazon and Dunelm. But if nothing but the premium brand will do, here are our top recommendations for Antler luggage for parents.
