trunkies...does anyone have one? Are they any good?

DS (3.8) would love one!!

Just wondering what people think of them and if anyone knows where I can get the best deal.

TIA

I wanted to know the same - DS is nearly two but have read reviews on ARgos that suggest it's fine for younger than the recommended 3-6yo.

Think Lilimay are selling for 27.95 and free delivery. That's the cheapest I could find.

I bought one for ds when he was about 3 1/2. I thought it was going to be a godsend after we stopped using a buggy but we haven't really used it very much. It was quite hard to steer around a busy airport and really awkward to get things out of mid-flight.

I was going to sell mine until I got it out of the cupboard and realised how scratched it is after only a few trips out.

i would buy one if ds1 wanted one and would pull it sensibly.
but i suspect it would be an aboslulte nightmare if he was allowed to rfun around an airport with it.
and it's a lot of money for basically a little plastic case

We don't have one, we have two .

My two year old isn't great at pulling it in the airport, but will happily sit on it and be pulled whilst we are queing. My 7 year old DD normally pulls them both. They are great as you can really stuff them full of shit useful stuff and know they will fit in the overhead lockers.

They are expensive and if you have the spare cash they are worth it, but not an essential buy IMO.

I'm even friends with Trixie Trunkie on facebook

DD got hers at 2yrs and now at 4.3yrs still uses it. She loves it! Highly recommended by DD!

we got two for our girls last year - they have been brilliant.

they are not the easiest things to pack/get things out of on the plane (tend to spill stuff everywhere) but the girls love them

it also means I don't have to pack my bag full of their junk toys - if it's not in the Trunki, it's not going on the plane.

I have also found them to be invaluable while waiting in th elounge - saves having to unpack toys etc, as can have races on the suitcases...
