Picture this: you’re finally on vacation, maybe in London, or another exciting city around the world. You’re ready to explore, enjoy some sightseeing, and let loose after months of planning. But then—bam!—you realize you’re dragging around a stroller, diaper bags, backpacks, and enough gear to look like you’re preparing for a month-long expedition. Suddenly, your dream vacation starts to feel more like a “keep-up-with-my-luggage” marathon. And then there’s Bounce, your new travel superhero.
Bounce is the world’s largest luggage storage network, and it’s here to make your trip (especially if you’re traveling with kids) a whole lot easier. With over 15,000 locations across 100 countries—yes, 100— Bounce has you covered in places like London, Paris, New York, Tokyo, and pretty much everywhere in between. And the best part? Bounce lets you store your bags and strollers while you get out there and make the most of your day, bag-free. It’s like a magic wand for stress-free travel, and parents everywhere are swearing by it.
The Struggle of Traveling with Kids (and Luggage)
If you’ve ever traveled with kids, you know the drill. Diaper bags, snacks, extra sets of clothes, toys to keep them entertained, strollers, and sometimes even a bottle warmer or two—basically, you’re carrying the contents of an entire home just to survive a day out. Now, imagine you want to explore London. You’ve got Big Ben, the Tower of London, the London Eye on your list. But carrying all that stuff while trying to snap photos and sightsee? Not so fun. Enter Bounce to save the day!
Bounce helps you drop off your bags in London so you can roam freely. Whether you’re visiting the V&A Museum, shopping in Covent Garden, or enjoying a picnic in Hyde Park, you can stash your bags securely at one of Bounce’s hundreds of locations across London. With your luggage safely tucked away, you can finally be present in the moment, soaking in the sights, sounds, and experiences without that nagging burden of extra baggage. And if you’re coming from one of the famous train stations, there are Bounce luggage locations near King’s Cross Station.

So, How Does Bounce Work?
The process is as simple as grabbing a coffee (or tea, if you’re in London):
- Download the Bounce App or Book Online: Find a nearby storage location, select the time you need your bags stored, and book your spot. It’s fast, it’s easy, and you’ll get instant confirmation. Just like that, you’re bag-free!
- Drop Off Your Bags: Head to your selected location—Bounce works with local businesses like cafes and hotels. You’ll show your booking confirmation, and the friendly store staff will take care of the rest. They’ll store your bags safely until you’re ready to pick them up.
- Explore Like a Tourist Should: Now that your hands are free (finally!), you can check out museums, grab a bite at a local eatery, or just wander the streets of London without worrying about lugging around your stuff. Whether it’s sightseeing or shopping, your time is yours to enjoy.
- Pick Up Your Bags: When you’re ready to head to your next adventure, simply show your confirmation, and voilà! Your bags will be returned to you, safe and sound.
- Bonus: Bag Protection: Bounce offers up to $10,000 in bag protection, which means your luggage is covered if anything goes wrong. Parents, rest easy knowing that even the most precious items (like a favorite stuffed animal) are protected.
Why Bounce is a Game-Changer for Parents
If you’ve traveled with young children before, you know the struggles all too well. They need snacks. They need breaks. They need to stop at the bathroom. They need everything. And then, there’s the added weight of your luggage. It’s a logistical nightmare! This is where Bounce truly shines for parents. With Bounce, you don’t have to worry about finding a safe place to stash that bulky stroller or lugging heavy bags all over town. You can just enjoy the trip.
Let’s paint a picture: Imagine you’ve arrived in London with the family. The kids are excited to see all the landmarks, but your hands are full. You’re about to head to the British Museum, but your stroller and bags are a headache. That’s when you pull out the Bounce app, locate the nearest drop-off spot, and—poof!—you’re free to explore without a care in the world. You can focus on the fun stuff: ice cream for the kids, taking selfies in front of Big Ben, or grabbing lunch in a cozy pub. It’s a complete game-changer, especially for families who want to make the most of every moment.
Flexibility: Change Plans, No Problem
Plans change, and sometimes, life happens. Maybe the kids need a nap, or you find yourself running late. No worries—Bounce has you covered. You can change or cancel your reservation any time before drop-off and get a full refund. It’s flexibility like that which really makes traveling easier, especially when you have little ones in tow.
Peace of Mind and Safety
Bounce doesn’t just offer convenience—it prioritizes safety, too. Each of Bounce’s partner stores goes through a vetting process to ensure that your bags are in good hands. Plus, the bag protection insurance offers an added layer of security. Whether it’s your laptop, your camera, or your baby’s favorite blanket, you can trust that your belongings are safe with Bounce.
