Once Upon a Trunki

Cleverleys family: Florida Nov '07
At the airport Trunki was invaluable as the girls (3 and 6) just loved to show us how well they could keep up with us with no help at all!! Then there was an impromptu Trunki Convention with a herd of children riding around the Gate. But Trunki came into its own on the return flight on the "Red Eye". The girls were too tired to walk and we were too loaded up to push buggies or carry children but it was easy tying the Trunki to the baggage cart handle and just pulling them along. We all love Trunki.

Woodrow family: Spain August 07
Ella was constantly perched on Towgo and whizzing around, with surprising control and sturdiness. At one point she had about five children stood around her asking for a go on it. It really is a fabulous item with more than ample storage for toys, colouring, blanket and even a dvd player. It has been knocked around quite a bit too and still looks in great condition.

Hopkins family: Jersey June 07
"Trixie was a lifesaver when we were delayed at the airport for a couple of hours as we had filled her with books and toys to keep Lottie amused. I always take Trixie out with me when I am working and she gets a great reception. Looking forward to meeting Towgo, who will no doubt come to visit at some stage between now and Christmas."

Clark Family: Greece October 06'
"I was extremely surprised how child friendly they were and very roomy! Jack wanted to go on Holiday as soon as Terrance arrived! At the Airport, Jack was the envy of everyone, wizzing around the Airport! The other passangers kept saying what a great invention Trunki was and asked where we bought him from! Trunkis fantastic, it keeps your child amused until your ready to take off! All I can say is that every holiday we go on, we wouldn't be without them! They are BRILLIANT!!!!"

Baines family: World Tour
"Just wanted to write and say congratulations on such a great invention. We have just completed a lap of the world via Singapore, Australia and Los Angeles. Alice (aged 3) loved having her Trixie Trunki - she was the envy of everyone at the airports and it got us through many a long haul. Our friends in Australia were so impressed they bought one too and we then had Trunki races at the airport!!"

Scudder family: Spain Sept '06
"The girls love flying and going on holiday...BUT they are not so keen on the long walks to the departure gate, aircraft and passport control! As they are little old for their buggies now, we thought we would give the trunkis a try. And it was the best thing we could have done. Not only did they love the fact that they could pack their toys and bits and bobs in them but they loved riding on them. And so did we!"

Gough Family, Brazil, Frankfurt & Brusselles Sept '06
"I bought trunki for my daughter. She is only 16 months old. She loved it. Trunki for my daughter was like her best friend, she couldn't leave it alone. She wanted to sit down, go inside, put things in and take then out, etc. Although we had to spend 2 days in the airport, trunki was always there with us carrying my daughter's things."

King Family: Sardinia September '06
"Freddie had his Trunki packed in anticipation of our trip to Sardinia for a month..... We have been exceptionally happy with Terence and the envy of most of the other children at the airport!."

Warne family, Palma August '06
"We have just returned from our holiday and I had to mail you and let you know how fantastic our TRUNKIS were - so well behaved and helpful. My husband moaned about me spending more money on pointless cases for the children but he has since admitted that the TRUNKIS were worth their weight in gold and transformed our travel experience. We even managed a civilised meal at the airport as our children were showing Terence and Trixie how to behave at the table!"

Coldwell family, Suffolk August '06
"Trunki was purchased for overseas travel, but Mathilda, aged three and a half couldn't resist sneaking him into the car for a recent camping trip. Terrance was filled with toys and smuggled into our car, which was bound for a 'Beer and Music Festival' in Suffolk."

Blight family, Jersey August '06
"Our 4 year old daughter, Kate, used her pink trunki as her hand luggage & packed her dolls, books & also her sisters toys & books. They loved the attention of being pulled along in the airport terminal, plus it was very useful for me as my husband didn't come (work commitments) so I could pull my children along, whilst carrying my hand lugagge & handbag. Would recomend it hugely & will be buying another one when our toldder is older."

Baldry faimily, Vancover August '06
"Herding two young boys through a busy airport with hand-baggage for four people was a daunting prospect, especially with all the waiting around. Trunki made it all so much easier. Riding all the way to the gate made the whole experience fun and the real bonus was that the boys carried their own luggage. On the plane, Trunki fit neatly under the seats and made it easy for them to get at their books and toys."

Tempest family, Lanzarote July '06
"My wife and I work in the travel industry.  I must say that the Trunki, a gift from his Aunty, was a welcome addition to our first journey.  Brodie was so thrilled with it that he insisted on pulling it through the terminal himself.  We were delayed for 5 hours and Trunki contained everything he needed to keep him going, as well as being a ride on for him to pass the time. It was such a laugh to watch! To top it off when boarding it was easy for me to carry and stow.  What a great idea."

Fyfe family, France July '06
"we’ve just travelled with two to France on a ferry and can report they have great sea legs - or should that be sea wheels?! Harry and Olivia packed their own Trunki’s and happily towed them to our cabins, though not before zooming around the decks as we left the port. They were fun, safe and kept the kids amused for enough time for us to usher in the holiday with a celebratory gin & tonic!"

Barrington Chappel family, Thailand, June '06
"The best part for the girls was the amusement the Trunki’s provided at the airport. Our departure was inevitably delayed and there were few places for us to comfortably sit and eat together. The girls were able to safely wheel around on their Trunki’s in the departure lounge – we had many envious looks from other families caught in the same predicament! "

Lovatt family, Florida May 2006
"Our trip to Florida was transformed by Trunki. Sam sat happily whilst I towed him along the terminal walkways. Even through a long flight delay Sam was kept occupied by Trunki. Brilliant!"

Telling Family, France April '06
With playful 2 ½ year-old Teila.
"We recently returned home to Australia and the long flight delays were made so much easier as Teila was able to scoot around on Trunki rather than climb tables and chairs or run off through customs! It was also very practical as we didn't have a pusher so we could tow her along, preventing her from becoming too tired. I wouldn't travel without it!
