From Sydney to Honolulu: How the JetKids™ by Stokke® BedBox™ Made Flying with Kids a Breeze

Traveling with little ones just got a whole lot easier! We’re thrilled to share Emma Shaw’s experience using our JetKids™ by Stokke® BedBox™ on her family’s first long-haul flight from Sydney to Honolulu. From providing a comfy inflight bed to doubling as a fun, ride-on suitcase, the BedBox™ transformed their journey and made family travel a breeze. Discover how this innovative travel essential became a “game-changer” for Emma and her family—and why it’s a must-have for your next adventure!  

"Wow oh wow, what can I say about the JetKids™ by Stokke® BedBox™. On our first long haul international flight, traveling with a toddler and a baby from Sydney to Honolulu we couldn’t have done it without the BedBox™. This incredible little case does it all.

It’s a carry-on suitcase to pack your little ones onboard essentials into, with plenty of space for snacks, activities, blankets and special toys for their flight. It expands on your flight into a bed, filling the space between your child’s seat and the one in front, giving them plenty of space to lie down and spread out to get some proper sleep during their flight. Plus, it’s the ULTIMATE way to move your little one around the airport in a fun and exciting way, as they ride on top of the case.

Macey couldn’t get enough of her BedBox™. This is the first time we had used it and it was an absolute game changer. She was literally riding it through the airport laughing in delight, screaming GO DADDY, GO! It also made it so easy to get around as we had a connecting flight on the way over and had to change from the domestic to the international airport in Sydney.

It was our first time traveling since the arrival of her baby sister, which meant she wasn’t the little one in the pram anymore, and the BedBox™ absolutely helped with the transition, getting her around when she got tired and didn’t want to walk anymore.

Once we were on the flight she was able to stretch her legs out and get comfy, giving her plenty of space to sleep through the flight without needing to lie across us to get comfortable. In fact, she slept for 8 hours of the 9.5 hours from Sydney to Hawaii, and more than 5 straight hours on the way home, even though it was mostly a day flight.

The BedBox™ definitely helped with how much sleep we all got on the flight. Since Macey was comfy in her own space it allowed us more room to get comfortable ourselves, and we all got a little bit of sleep throughout the night.

The JetKids BedBox™ is absolutely incredible for any airport and flying experience – we couldn’t recommend it highly enough."
