trunki-01b.jpgTrunki has landed! Trunki is the first pull-along or ride-on luggage for kids. It is so adorable even I would want to carry one! But more importantly, it serves its purpose—both to entertain kids and to contain their travel essentials.

Trunki came about when young British designer Rob Law thought of how he could ease the burden on a child’s back. He simply toyed with the space in ride-along cars for kids and came up with this brilliant luggage design.

Trunkis come in three colors: Pink (Trixie), P2500; Blue (Terrance), P2500; and Green (Towgo), P2600 with added features.

More FAQs from http://www.trunki.net

What size is Trunki? Trunki’s generous dimensions are 46 x 20 x 30.5 cm or 18 x 7.9 x 12 in, and holds a massive 18 liter capacity!

How secure are the side catches? Trunki now comes with new stronger catches to keep your prize possessions nice and safe.

Is the towing strap really strong enough? We have just made the strap hooks even stronger yet still child friendly, so you can keep your kids in tow.

What is Trunki’s weight? Trunki is very light-weight at only 1.7 kg or 3.8 lbs, making it easy to carry and store in overhead luggage compartments.

trunki-04.jpgHow durable is Trunki? We have built Trunki out of the same plastic that adult suitcases are made with, so it’s very durable and can be ridden by several toddlers. We recommend you don’t exceed 50KG of load and that you don’t check Trunki at the check in desk.

Is Trunki suitable for hand luggage? Yes, Trunki is hand luggage approved and is a great way to carry your child’s toys, games and spare clothes, keeping them amused during delays at the airport.

What age is Trunki aimed at? Trunki is the perfect size for children aged around 3-6. Unfortunately it does not come in adult sizes…yet!

How safe is Trunki? Trunki was designed to prevent children damaging their backs carrying heavy bags. We have built in a soft rim to prevent little fingers getting caught shutting the case and designed stabilizers to prevent children from easily falling off. Trunki is CE marked and meets EN 71 safety standards.

How well designed is Trunki? Trunki has been designed by an award winning designer Rob Law, who spent ages testing and perfecting the design. You rarely see this level of effort crafting a children’s product and we are very proud that Trunki won a design award.

    i found the trunkies! they’re so cute! found them at the back end of the world bazzar at WTC. the place (WTC) was hellish, just to warn you. AC was off i think. too hot and too crowded to enjoy any shopping. but when i saw the trunkies i got some relief! and surely, my pamangkin was there and instantly fell in-love with it.
    if you guys are really interested and wish to buy the product, brave the heat and crowd and go shop at WTC! :-P
