Born from Chaos. Engineered for Freedom.
TernX wasn't conceived in a boardroom; it was born in the middle of a crowded airport terminal.

Meet Tack & Hoe Ping: Founders of TernX
When we became parents, we made a conscious choice: parenthood shouldn’t mean putting our passion for exploration on hold. We believed then, and still do today that children aren't a barrier to adventure; they are our favorite travel companions. While family travel certainly comes with its unpredictable moments, the memories made along the way make every challenge worthwhile.
Built Out of Necessity, Designed for Modern Parents
Our journey began with a simple search for the ultimate travel stroller. We needed a solution that seamlessly carried our travel essentials while keeping our little ones safe, comfortable, and close by.
When we realized no such stroller existed, we spoke to other parents and discovered a shared frustration. Driven by a "Screw it, let's do it!" mindset, we set out to build the solution ourselves.
The result? The TernX Carry On Luggage Stroller, the world’s first carry-on luggage that transforms into a stroller, designed to make flying and traveling with kids effortless.
Recognized Worldwide for Family Travel Innovation
What started as a personal mission quickly grew into a global movement. Today, TernX is proud to support families in every corner of the world.
Our commitment to redefining travel gear has earned us multiple international design awards and features in acclaimed publications, including TIME Magazine, celebrating our dedication to simplifying family travel.

As Seen on Shark Tank & Beyond
Getting featured on Shark Tank and attracting interest from multiple Sharks was a surreal milestone. For us, this wasn’t just about showcasing a product, it was about sharing a solution that could truly change how families experience the world together. Seeing the Sharks get excited about our vision reminded us why we started this journey. Our mission remains the same: to help make traveling with kids easier and full of memorable adventures.

Meaning behind our name
“TernX” embodies our commitment to versatility and innovation, anchored in our mission to simplify traveling with kids. Inspired by the arctic tern bird, celebrated for its agility, grace, and resilience, it serves as a powerful inspiration. It's small but packs a punch. We aim to bring that same spirit to family travel, offering innovative solutions that make every journey easier and more enjoyable.
The "X" in TernX represents the unknown, the potential for limitless growth and exploration. X marks the spot. It symbolizes our commitment to pushing boundaries, challenging conventions, and constantly evolving to meet the ever changing needs of our community.
