Anyone who has ever navigated a busy airport with young children will know the value in having luggage and prams that really help transport your luggage and kids, without weighing a tonne.<\/p>\n

But anyone who has ever done it will know there is usually something wrong with one of your pieces of kit.<\/p>\n

Whether the stroller<\/a> is too big to fit in the overhead compartment as hand luggage or it is too small to fit your nappy bag and miscellaneous items inside the basket when wheeling around the airport, it\u2019s hard to strike gold with a travel pram.<\/p>\n

Until now. The TernX Carry-On Stroller<\/a> is the first stroller in the world that transforms into a carry-on suitcase in seconds.<\/p>\n

Created by Aussie engineer Tack Lee and his physiotherapist partner Hoe Ping Lo, from Brisbane, the TernX Carry-On<\/a> quickly and easily transforms from compact cabin-sized luggage into a stroller, without the need to unpack belongings.<\/p>\n

For parents, this means no more frantic re-packing at the airport gate<\/a> and no more juggling bags while comforting a tired child.<\/p>\n

Put simply, the pram is a game changer<\/a> for parents everywhere.<\/p>\n

In addition to being crafted from lightweight aluminium and aviation-grade materials, TernX ($997)<\/a> meets the carry-on size requirements of most major airlines, making it both practical and travel-friendly.<\/p>\n

Families can keep their essentials close throughout the journey, avoiding the delays and risks of checked baggage<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The TernX<\/a> has a suitcase attached to its back legs, which has the ability to carry 18 litres of luggage.<\/p>\n

By simply pressing, pulling and flipping, the pram can fold up instantly and slip in beside it<\/a> when you need the luggage storage.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur mission at TernX<\/a> has always been to make family travel less stressful and more joyful,\u201d said Hoe Ping, the co-founder of TernX.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs parents ourselves, we know the frustration of juggling luggage, prams, and tired kids<\/a> through airports and city streets.<\/p>\n

\u201cTernX was born out of that experience.<\/a> It\u2019s about giving families freedom, confidence, and more moments to enjoy the journey, not just the destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

The pram weighs just 7.7 kilograms,<\/a> with the suitcase measuring 55 x 36 x 23 centimetres.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis changed our world,\u201d<\/a> writes one happy shopper.<\/p>\n

\u201cTernX<\/a> improved our travel experiences ten fold. I would recommend this to any family with little ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another adds: \u201cIt\u2019s the most comfortable and compact stroller<\/a> I have ever seen\u201d.<\/p>\n

While a third notes: \u201cThis product is truly a masterpiece of design<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just regular customers who love it.<\/a><\/p>\n

Randi Zuckerberg, former market development director of Facebook and sister of its founder Mark Zuckerberg, gave it the seal of approval, saying she thinks it will \u201cchange the game for travelling parents<\/a> everywhere\u201d.<\/p>\n

The TernX Carry-On Stroller<\/a> has also been recognised globally as one of TIME Magazine\u2019s Best Inventions and has received multiple international design awards, including the Good Design Award.<\/p>\n

The TernX Carry-On<\/a> is finally available to shop in Australia for $997, but with limited stock Aussies will need to move fast if they want to invest.<\/p>\n
