Product Review: Luggage for Kids- The Trunki
Let’s begin with some helpful product reviews…
Looking for something fun, useful, and unique for toddler travel?
The Trunki has arrived! Jet Seven reviewed, this little rolling carry-on is a multi-function asset.
Accompanying us on our trip to Europe, the Trunki held everything our son needed for flight, was great for him to pull, and was noticeably light when slung over my shoulder. It even fit under the airplane seat when turned on its side.
But what is so special about the Trunki?
Kids can ride on it!
As we all know, those little legs get tired when walking through the airport. The Trunki doubles as “in airport transportation” for kids.
I was pleasantly surprised at the durability of the Trunki. My son received lots of smiles from passing adults and envious looks from other kids who wanted one for themselves!
On our cruise ship, the Trunki became a source of entertainment. The long carpeted hallways were a great “road” for the Trunki to travel on -providing endless entertainment for a toddler.
The Trunki rides smooth and fast - sometimes too fast! Adult supervision is definitely required to keep little ones on track.
A few words of caution about using the Trunki:
The wheels do not allow quick turns. In airports and cruise ship inner hallways, this is not an issue. However, keep this in mind to avoid tipping over your little one if pulling him/her around corners!
I allowed my son only to use the Trunki in wide open areas so he did not get lost in the crowd or run into other people.
Save Trunki for travel and use at the destination. Kids are more likely to get excited about something if it is not available on a daily basis.
Before putting the Trunki under the airplane seat, remove what is needed in flight. I transport the CARES harness, the ear popper, a blanket, small pillow (to be replaced by our new Zoobie Pet… more later!), and a bag of entertainment (books, toys, etc.) and of course, the video iPod for use in flight.
The Trunki is available in blue and pink.
