Product Handling & Care Guidelines

To extend the life of your Birdy luggage:

  • Treat your Birdy as a handbag-quality carry-on, not checked luggage.

  • Place or set your Birdy on the ground with care.  Don’t let it slam or fall with force.

  • If you have the Deluxe Birdy, use the bottom support strap for the overhead bin and ground placement.  

  • Use the Birdy Protective Tote Bag (included with bundles or sold separately) if gate-checking is required.

  • Keep the shoulder strap in front of the extended handle to prevent floor contact.

Proper handling and care ensure your Birdy lasts a lifetime — and stays as beautiful as the day you received it!
