ZincFlyte Suitcase | Reviewed by Emily

ZincFlyte Suitcase | Reviewed by Emily

Who are we?

We are a family of four from the UK.  Our children have just turned 4 and 2, and travelling with children at these tricky ages can sometimes be an ordeal!  Airports can be particularly trying with long corridors to walk and lots of waiting around.

We jumped at the chance to try out a ZincFlyte suitcase as we hoped that using a scooter-suitcase would help us get through the airport quicker, or at least with less fuss from our 4 year old.

We took our ZincFlyte with us on our most recent trip to Iceland.  We travelled from the always-busy London Gatwick to Reykjavik.

 

First Impressions and general thoughts on ZincFlyte:

ZincFlyte make suitcases for children that turn into a scooter.  At the time of writing, they make a Mini size for children aged 2+ and a Midi version for children aged 4 – 8.  Out soon is a Maxi version for kids aged 8+.

ZincFlyte also make travel accessories. We took Olivia the Owl plushy which turns into a rucksack.  My daughter loves Olivia and uses it as a toy as much as a rucksack.

My 4 year old daughter chose the Betty design from the Midi range.  We were really impressed with the ZincFlyte when we opened the box. Betty is bright and appealing to both kids and adults;  my daughter really loved it and couldn’t wait to give it a go.  My son was also very interested and keen to learn to scoot on it!

The build quality is great; the materials are sturdy and the metal parts are not likely to bend or break.  The material on the scooter foot pad is non-slip which is a nice touch.

The case itself is durable but flexible, and it keeps its shape well.  I used Betty to carry some fragile electronic equipment in addition to my daughter’s items and Betty protected them well.

Betty has a good capacity and can carry quite a lot of clothes; enough for at least a week in cold weather or 10 days in summer.  The zipper compartment and elasticated clip help to keep clothes and other items from getting mixed up and shaken about when the case is being used.  The pouch in the lid of the case is large enough for books of most sizes.

Using ZincFlyte – how easy is it to use?:

All the mechanisms work smoothly and are easy for an adult to fold out and pack away again.

To extend the handle, you press the button at the top and pull.  To fold out the foot-stand you need to grip firmly and pull up to unfold it.

To pack the scooter away, you need to press just above the base of the foot-stand whilst pulling the stand out with the other hand to release the catch.  You can then fold the foot-stand away.  The handle folds away by pressing the little catch at the base and pushing down on the handle.

The stand is too stiff for little hands to move which is good as children are unlikely to trap their fingers in it by folding it up themselves.

The ZincFlyte had a nice side-effect that we weren’t expecting.  Using Betty encouraged my daughter become more confident at scooting in general.  She’s quite a timid child when it comes to physical activities and it was lovely to see her interest piqued by the ZincFlyte.

ZincFlyte at the airport:

Betty was very airport friendly.

We had no issues going through security – the case fits into the large trays for baggage scanning.

My daughter had no problem scooting through the long corridors to the departure lounges and it helped to keep her cheerful.  Confident scooters will be racing ahead of their parents!

From an adult’s point of view, I didn’t need to carry my daughter (so it helped save my back).  We noticed other people looking at the ZincFlyte in the airport and one lady asked where to buy it as she was very keen to get one for her son.

When on board the aircraft Betty folded up and fitted into the overhead lockers with no trouble so it’s definitely suitable for carry-on luggage.

A slight downside is that Betty is quite heavy when fully loaded, but that’s down to the sturdy material used and I wouldn’t trade those for a lighter case.

My daughter is very young and didn’t want to scoot absolutely everywhere in the airport so my husband had to carry the case for a bit.  We found that the carry handle on the top was a little small for adult hands and thought a larger handle on the side of the case might help grownups carry the ZincFlyte if needed.

Conclusion:

What we liked:

  • Beautiful, appealing design
  • Sturdy build and quality materials
  • Easy to unfold and pack away again
  • Good capacity
  • Scoots smoothly
  • Helps to protect fragile items

Things we weren’t so keen on:

  • Small carry handle

Overall we really liked the ZincFlyte.  It definitely helped us get through the airport with less fuss, and as my daughter becomes more confident at scooting (she’s a very small 4 year old) we will get through quicker too!

At £69.99 the ZincFlyte Midi is reasonably priced for the quality of the materials.  The Midi version is for children aged 4 – 8 and I would imagine that it would last that long.

We’d recommend the ZincFlyte to other parents who travel with children.

It looks as though we’ll have to get another for my son sooner rather than later!

The highlight of our day but not without a bit of The highlight of our day but not without a bit of effort...
We arrived at More London around 12:30pm and it wasn't working. 😬
One of the mums who were around told me that it’s usually closed from 12pm to 2pm! 
.
.

The kids disappointment was so big that we decided to wait and hope for the best! 
Lucky that we usually have some things in the car: mats, colouring book and pens. They managed to entertain themselves in the shade for one hour and a half until the BIG moment. 
At 2pm on the dot they were back again and it sounded like the beginning of a gig... all the kids who were patiently waiting stood up and ran like crazy towards the fountains! 
Yes, “good things  come to those who wait”! 😜
.
.
.
📣the place was very crowded so totally recommend to go early in the morning instead.

NOLA, I know we just met you but we love you alrea NOLA, I know we just met you but we love you already!  We fell in love with your history, cuisine, music, and atmosphere.  #HostedByHCV

Today hiclubvacations is celebrating their official opening of their New Orleans Resort, and we loved ringing in the new year at their brand new resort a few weeks ago! We stayed in a newly renovated, 2 bedroom Signature Collection villa. It was super spacious for our 3 little ones and we truly had everything we needed for our week long stay!

The resort is located just a block from Bourbon Street — which made it so easy to get around the city by walking and riding streetcars. Everyone in the Butan Clan got a taste of the amazing culture — even just from walking down the streets.

NOLA, we saw so much and though we had to leave, we are already looking forward to the next time we get to see you again! 🥰

If you missed our time in NOLA make sure you check out our Highlights HCV NOLA

We are on the second day of lockdown in Nepal. We We are on the second day of lockdown in Nepal. We were thinking about staying here then, before we knew it, the country was on lockdown and all flights were suspended so the decision was taken out of our hands.
I feel good about being here. We are in a very welcoming, family run hotel who have said they will look after us for as long as we are here. They cook for us, we have a balcony, a roof terrace and a small garden, we can leave to get food and medicine and we have Internet, phew! 
One of the biggest reasons I’m happy we’re here is that it’s not that much of a change for Honor. Yes, she knows we can’t go out for walks or play dates (there is another British family with two boys Honor’s age riding this thing out in a hotel over the road from us), but being together as a family of three, living in a small space, in a hotel, FaceTiming grandma and grandad and homeschooling are very normal to her. I couldn’t imagine the heart ache she would have experienced if we had returned to the UK and then had to tell her she couldn’t see anyone or play with her friends.
So here we are, we don’t know how long we’ll be here, all we know is that we’ll have to wait a little bit longer than we expected for our hugs with friends and family and grandma’s Sunday roast. .

We have been taking photos in the park and at a wild flowers field we found near home since we were allowed to go out for limited walks.

Since then we have noticed things that never noticed before. The stillness of the mornings, the vivid colours of the flowers and the horizon clear and crisp.

We have noticed the variation in size and colours of the flowers, the beautiful shape of the clouds in the afternoons, and the music coming from the wind while you walk.

This is the beauty of our nature that we got to protect.

We always take our trash with us home if there is no any trash bins near us.

🤩We’ve finally joined the paddle-board gang a 🤩We’ve finally joined the paddle-board gang and bought possibly the last board in the whole of the UK. So far so good … four of us christened it on our much-anticipated (socially distanced) short break to gorgeous Herefordshire and the River Wye at the weekend. Notice no pic of me yet ... thought I’d  spare you my old lady clenching everything for dear life stance!  How’s your paddle boarding? Elegant, like this pair, or awkwardly tense, like me? I did chalk up a couple more 🏊‍♀️wild swims for a 5O WILD SWIMS BEFORE 50 mission though (so far I’ve managed the grand total of … 4 … so just a few more to go!). Though I do love a beach, we don’t have any very nearby, so we are starting to discover our local rivers instead. I’m in a LOT of wild swimming and outdoorsy Facebook groups now and suddenly alarmingly aware of currents, water hygiene etc etc, and don’t get me started on what makes a perfect wetsuit or changing robe. I’m not sure I’ll ever be hard-core, but enjoying a bit of fair-weather family watersports and swimming for now.

One of the unexpected benefits of our rural glamping break this weekend was there was no wifi, so we had to do a digital detox. It was brilliant! We realised that during lockdown we’ve become even more screen-obsessed, so it was a timely break from all things digital, and also a revelation in terms of how dependent we have become on our phones not just to connect to real life, but also as a tool when travelling — to research the local area, check the weather or find a shop, for example. It all felt very old-school and properly refreshing, and forced us to s l o w right down.
