The Trunki Train ...

While typically, we sell these TRUNKIs to those 3-6 years old, here are my boys, ages 5 and 8 riding their TRUNKIs (which they have had for 3 years) while 'Daddy' pulls them through the Charlotte Airport.  We surely got some looks - envious ones from other kids (and adults who were trying to carry THEM!)  It was pretty darn cute, and proves the longevity of these ride on luggage items for kids.  

Here's our youngest son, hamming it up 

More info on our TRUNKIs and ALL of the fun color options HERE  (which are currently on SALE!)

We've got 'em, your kids will love 'em

After a LOOOOOOONG wait, the NEW and improved (USA made!) Trunkis have arrived and they are colorful, fun, and a great new price (only $39.99 each!)
What is this TRUNKI you may ask? It's a piece of luggage, a tow-behind ride on toy, or a self-propelled 'time user-upper' in the airport.
Other features include:

• a comfortable saddle (especially if you buy the Saddle Bag Accessory! in blue or pink)
• integrated wheels and 'horn grips'
• interior straps to organize contents
• extra wide wheel base for cornering and stability
• airline approved for carry-on (NOT recommended for checked luggage)
• great for storing toys, snacks and other kid-travel essentials
• safe, strong and durable (used for my boys up to 7 years of age!)
• child can ride on OR be pulled
• eliminates airport boredom and fatigue from child walking (you WILL get looks of envy from other adults AND kids!!!!)
• for ages 3 to 6 (depending on child's size)
• the ultimate way to make sure your "KIDS TRAVEL HAPPY" :-)

We think this is a really cool item, now manufactured in the USA by Melissa & Doug. Would look perfect for the holidays, or for that holiday trip! Worth every penny, in our opinion!

Trunkis Turn Heads during Airport Travel

We purchased Trunkis originally for our boys for a train trip one Summer, and with our recent trip to New York City so I could attend the Toy Fair, there was a renewed interest in their 'ride-on' luggage.

Little did we know the attention they would draw! Currently, the two that we have (above) are NOT available (as they are being improved with additional features from the original versions), but we do have Harley the LADYBUG, and TIPU the Tiger on order and expected to arrive the week of February 22nd. Look for Terrance (BLUE - as pictured with one of our sons above) and Trixie (PINK) as well as a BUMBLEBEE to arrive later this Spring.

Features as listed by the Manufacturer
• Carry handle - quick to grab for a departure gate dash
• Locking catches - stop toys falling into the wrong hands
• Key - fixed to strap so it never gets lost
• Teddybear seatbelts - strap in the toys and stop them tumbling out

Our boys (3 and 6) had a great time waiting for our checked luggage, as they cruised around on their Trunkis while we waited. We were thankful they had that distraction, not to mention that they then became in charge of their own inflight activities that kept them "traveling happy. We also could pull them along and keep them close when the airport 'traffic' was more congested, which was also comforting.

Contact us if you'd like one reserved! They retail for $49.99(solid colors) and $59.99 (animals), and are eligible toward our $99 and up FREE shipping offer. Also look for some fun new accessories for these (arriving soon!).
