Can anyone answer this question?


We are travelling to the US in a few weeks and my 4 yr old really wants a Gruffalo Trunki. However, do not want to buy one unless it can be hand baggage as will also be travelling with a 6 month old and all if the equipment that that involves...


Anyone travelled with one and took into onto the plane,


Thanks,

Craigy

We've taken ours as hand luggage to NZ, so they are fine. However I would say that I found it to be a real pain... fine when the kids are cooperating and happy to ride/pull it, but a real nuisance if you end up trying to pull/carry it especially if you have a baby to deal with as well.


We ended up leaving ours at home for the most recent flight!

Thanks Pickle- very good point, I too am thinking it will be a pain esp as 4 yr old has attention span of a goldfish and we will end up dealing with it so think I may try and sway him towards his new spiderman rucksack.... this is where the attention span of a goldfish comes in helpful as he will forget about the trunki as quick as he remembers it

Rucksack is definitely the way to go. Both of my kids (4 and 2.5) carried their own on the flights, with a selection of toys and books, and it was much easier.


If you decide you would like to take a Trunki, happy to lend you ours (not a Gruffalo one, just the basic blue one).

We had 'battles' over the Trunki last year - only 1 between both girls, youngest too small to ride it really, oldest OK, but better pulling it herself - but of course they both wanted to do that!


However...the inner bags you get for the Trunkis are great - designed so you can store the stuff you might want on the flight or in the car, and with clips so you can attach it to the seat pocket in front of you, and they can then access all their bits and bobs.


So - think if anything I'd get the Trunki Inner which would then probably slip ito most decent size rucksacks etc.

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though. Hope some of these might provide leads. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/137603-home-schooling-advice-anyone-wants-to-do-it-together/#comment-1092093 Very old post but group seems still to exist: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/92044-home-education-local-group/#comment-954837 You could try contacting this forum member: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/325368-classroom-support-for-home-education-community/#comment-1621064 Two of these left for right now: https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/events/event/1025-🌟-teens-11-try-painting-sculpture-street-art-at-holiday-workshops/
    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
