Has anyone tried Trunki cases for kids? We've got a couple of big trips this year with a 2 year old who just loves bags and would love to pull or ride on the Trunki. But how practical is it? Does it fall over if you pull it too fast (without the weight of a kid)? Is it acceptable as carry on luggage on long-haul? Be so handy for her toys and nappies on a long flight http://www.trunki.co.uk/

We took one to NZ, it's the first time we had done the trip with a Trunki. I found it had pros and cons...


They are fine as carry on luggage, and hold quite a lot. Difficult to pack neatly due to the shape inside where the wheels are, but we used ours for a change of clothes and the kids toys and it was fine. You have to make sure it's up the right way when you open it, otherwise everything falls out (learnt that one the hard way!).


Ours was used extensively while in transit at Singapore as a ride-on. You do have to be a bit careful not to go too fast as they can topple over. We found that after a while our 3 year old complained that his legs were tired due to having to move them all the time (design fault - they need some kind of little foot rest). Both kids enjoyed pulling it along, although it did cause a LOT of arguments!


They are a bit bulky and uncomfortable to carry in the instances that you're not wheeling them along.


All in all it was useful, and a bit of a novelty item for the kids. Feel free to come and have a closer look at ours (which is still full of all our things despite being home for a week now - house renovations mean I haven't been able to unpack!).

I think you've confirmed my suspicions Pickle, thanks. I'll get her a little wheelie bag instead - cheaper too probably. I hope your house is finished soon, we had builders in our house a couple of years ago when we went away for a month and when we got back, they hadn't done any of the major messy work as they had a question and didn't want to call us on holiday! I trust you had more luck with yours!

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.
