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!

    • Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.      
    • I use Autocar Repair in West Dulwich.. been using them for over 20 years. Excellent service… 
    • A lot to agree with here - don’t get me started on Irish people complaining about immigration! - but that final paragraph is once again a cop out  there’s a lot of extreme right wing money stirring up the division that people are feeling - but there is zero excuse for handing power to these people. We live in a democracy and if we have enough people willing to give it up then judging those people foolish enough to do so is not only something that will happen, it is something that the rest of us should be morally compelled to do  if someone wouldn’t “normally” vote for a racist party yet somehow will do so because they hear someone like me saying that would be bad, then you better believe I’m judging them
    • We can't use our kitchen for a while and so looking for an air fryer to plug the gap. Please let me know if you have a good one in working order.  07702 305 310 Thanks
