But isn’t it time for them to travel and see the world? This is part of what they have worked so hard for!

This luggage set comes in a luxurious rose gold color. The set includes a 28-inch piece of luggage, a 24-inch piece of luggage, and a 20-inch carry-on. The carry-on currently meets the strict size restrictions of carry-ons for domestic travel. Each piece of this luggage set includes multi-directional spinner wheels – this will make it easy for the good doctor to transport the luggage through airports and their transportation.

They also feature side-mounted TSA locks to prevent theft, a 1.5-inch expansion to allow you to pack more items, and a 10-year limited warranty.
