Traveling with kids is exciting, but also exhausting: airports and train stations are huge and chaotic, and children’s legs—and attention spans—are short. To the rescue of frazzled parents everywhere comes ‘Trunki’, the world’s first ‘ride-on’ luggage designed for children! 
How brilliant is that? With Trunki in tow, kids have a place to sit and rest at any time. And when those little legs wear out, children can be pulled along on their Trunki. Click here to see a video of Trunki and kids in action.
Made of the same lightweight, durable plastic as luggage for grown-ups, Trunki features 18 litres of interior cargo space. ‘Teddy bear seatbelts’ help keep toys and clothes neatly packed inside, while secure catches on left and right edges keep Trunki closed until it’s meant to be opened.
A comfortable saddle, horn ‘grips’ and an extra-wide wheelbase, with integrated wheels for stability in cornering, make this a safe and comfortable high-performance racing suitcase! Trunki will hold children up to 23 kg (50 lbs), but weighs only 1.7 kg (under 4 lbs), so it’s easy for children as well as parents to wheel and tow. Trunki is priced from $49.99.
Also available is the Trunki Saddlebag, a clever little messenger bag that doubles as a saddle with pockets. Some padding eases travel-weary little backsides, while a squeaker allows riders to warn slower pedestrians to beware of zippy toddlers. Trunki Saddlebags are priced from $19.99.
Let’s go globetrotting, baby!
