1. Understand the relationship between height and suitcase size

Title

When choosing a suitcase, many people tend to think about the capacity (liters), but for petite women, what's really important is the balance between height and weight.
This is because if the height of the suitcase does not match your height, it will be difficult to handle and will put strain on your arms and back.

Title

🔹スーツケースサイズと身長の目安

サイズ 高さの目安 容量の目安 旅行期間 小柄女性との相性
SSサイズ 約45cm前後 〜35L 1泊〜2泊 ◎非常に扱いやすい
Sサイズ 約55cm前後 35〜45L 2泊〜3泊 ◎バランスが良い
Mサイズ 約65cm前後 50〜70L 3泊〜5泊 ○体力次第で最適
Lサイズ 約75cm以上 80L〜 6泊以上 △重く扱いにくい

For petite women, size S (height around 55cm) is the most balanced.
It is said that size M (around 65cm) is the "maximum size that can be used most comfortably."

Title

Point 1: Check that the height of the handlebars matches the position of your elbows.

When pulling a suitcase, if the handle is too high, your arms will lift up, and if it is too low, your posture will be affected.
The ideal height is for the handle to be slightly below your elbow .
For a woman who is around 150cm tall, the recommended length when stretched is about 95-100cm .

Title

Point 2: Check the actual dimensions including wheels rather than the height

For many suitcases, the actual height, including the casters, is about 5cm higher than the height listed in the catalog.
In other words, even if it says "55cm," it may actually be closer to 60cm.
When you go to a store or visit the official website, be sure to check that the size includes casters.

Title

Point 3: Lightweight and balanced center of gravity

Petite people have a shorter arm reach, so they tend to find it difficult to pull a suitcase if the center of gravity is far away .
Therefore, it is best to choose a lightweight model with a short vertical length .
The latest lightweight series from New Trip is definitely worth checking out, as the handle position and center of gravity have been optimized for petite women .

3. How to choose a suitcase that is easy for petite women to use

Title

Once you have decided on the size of your suitcase, the next important thing is ease of handling .
Even if the capacity is the same, just changing the length of the handle or the performance of the casters can make a surprising difference in the comfort of your trip.

Here, we will check out four criteria for choosing a suitcase that is comfortable for petite women.

Title

1. Choose a type with precisely adjustable handle length

The most important thing for a petite woman to consider when pulling a suitcase is the height of the handle .
Most suitcases can be adjusted in two or three steps, but recently there are an increasing number of models that allow for fine height adjustment in four or five steps .


The New Trip 0501 is a prime example of this type of suitcase with a four-position adjustable handle .

💡 理想の高さ：

  • ハンドルを伸ばしたときに「肘が90度前後」になる位置がベスト。
  • それより高いと腕が疲れ、低すぎると背中が丸まりやすくなります。
Title

2. Check the stability and quietness of the casters

For petite women, the ease of pushing and pulling a suitcase is very important.
By choosing stable four-wheel casters or quiet double wheels , you can move smoothly even over uneven surfaces and carpets.

The New Trip 0201 and0701 Plus models feature high-quality, silent casters.

It is both lightweight and quiet.

💡 ポイント：

  • 360度回転する4輪タイプを選ぶ
  • ゴム製の静音キャスターが床面でも滑らか
  • 車輪が大きめの方が段差に強い
Title

3. Choose lightweight materials (ideally under 3kg)

The weight of the suitcase itself is a point that is often overlooked.
Especially for petite women, "lightness" directly translates into both ease of lifting and reduced fatigue .

Ideal weight:

・S size → approx. 2-3kg

・M size → approx. 3-4kg

Title

Here are some recommended lightweight suitcases:

・"New Trip Ultralight Suitcase"

💡 おすすめ素材：

  • ポリカーボネート：軽くて丈夫。表面のツヤも美しい。
  • ABS＋PC混合素材：価格と耐久性のバランスが良い。
  • ファブリック素材（布製）：さらに軽量だが、耐水性に注意。
Title

4. Balance design and functionality

When it comes to suitcases for petite women, visual balance is also important.

Although the device is compact in size, its color and texture give it a striking presence, allowing it to blend in naturally with your travel fashion.

Recommended colors:

・Spring/Summer → Beige, pink beige, mint

・Autumn/Winter → Greige, navy, burgundy
