Trunki

[fliptheswitch]

Has anyone bought a Trunki for their child? I'm going away soon and was thinking one of these would be a good idea for my youngest.
I need to know the following:

*Are they big enough to fit all the essentials in?
*Are they sturdy?
*Can they be taken on as hand luggage?

TIA.

Thanks. I've only just discovered them, and think they look great! Little one gets so fed up and bored in the departure lounge, so figured this may keep them entertained for an hour... or ten minutes :) Thank-you.

My nieces children have got them for doing Dubai to UK and back they are a huge success.

my kids love them, we tow the kids about when they are tired at airport or just carry when not. They are perfect for hand luggae and kids can fit in their travel pillows, toys, books, drinks etc.

we bought the blue one a few years back and this year got my daughter the Grufallo one, the kids then decorated them with the trunki sticker packs. Lots of people commented on how handy they looked when at airports and no-one complained that they were in way or anything.

Trime, by the time I've taken them for something to eat, I should hope we haven't got too long to wait in the departure lounge... so it shouldn't be too much hassle to pull them around for a bit, and keep them from getting bored. If anything, I would be doing it to save other people's annoyance, when my child gets fed up of waiting and starts throwing a tantrum! But yeah, not ideal.
Woofgang, they seem to be really popular, lots of people have said they have them.
Redcrx, oh wow! I didn't know they did a Grufallo one. I may get that for myself :)
Thank-you to all, and thank-you for the link also :)

not sure if they are still on, but sainsburys had them cheap recently (not the grufallo sadly)

never used this company but the prices look ok here http://www.teenytots....ybug-bee-freddie.html

Oh brilliant! Thank-you for that link. I'd just been looking on the Trunki website, and they are £40! Seems a bit steep for what it actually is. I was starting to consider roller-skates and a backpack :P
Thanks again, it's much appreciated :)

save yourself 40 quid: buy a cheap rucksack and push your kid around on the free luggage trollies provided.
