Trunki Suitcases - What Every Parent Needs To Know
Posted on: June 16, 2011
The choices available in toddlers baggage are virtually too great to count. From rucksacks in a host of colours, sizes and styles, to miniature wheeled carry-ons that appear just like their parents and other wheeled cases of various sizes. In this great range are a number of cases that are special in the world of children's luggage. Trunkis are not only wheeled kids suitcases, but they are brilliant ride-on toys too!
Trunkis were the original ride-on suitcases in the shops and have been cleverly fashioned so that children can pack their own cases, and then enjoy pulling them around. Spending time at airports or train stations will not seem as stressful, as little children will be pleased to have some additional time to have fun on their ride on suitcases!
Trunkis are manufactured of lightweight plastic featuring a formed saddle located on the top. Four wheels are inset into the case, plus a front stabilizer so that the riders dont come flying off. Every Trunki suitcase has two hand grips styled like horns at the front too.
In addition to handle straps, Trunkis come with a longer strap so that the adult can tow young children while sitting on the case, the perfect solution after a tiring flight. The strap is also designed to be utilised by mum or dad to carry the trunki over their shoulder in a hurry.
Trunkis must be one of the most practical pieces of luggage, as they can also be used as a perfectly functioning ride on toy. Trunkis have got a rubber rim to keep safe young fingers, stretchable packing straps, an id tag and every youngsters favourite, a secret compartment! Please do keep in mind that a Trunki suitcase is also approved as hand baggage.
Trunkis are available in a multitude of lively colours and patterns, including the original blue Terrence and pink Trixie versions, plus Tipu the tiger, Bernard the bumble bee and Harley the Ladybug models. Available on the internet and in shops such as John Lewis and kiddicare.com, Trunkis retail for around 25 to 40 pounds.
Mums and Dads could enquire why they need an additional suitcase, when they could just as easily take their childrens things into their existing adult suitcases. Travelling is often hard on young children, and even the best thought out plans can end in tears. All children love to climb things, ride on toys and be pulled about, and conventional suitcases are not designed for this. Frustrated toddlers lead to frustrated parents.
By giving toddlers their very own trunki suitcase that they can not only pack themselves, but ride on and play with too, parents can help make travelling perhaps a little easier and globe-trotting toddlers will be thrilled to have a fun friend to take along with them!
