{The winner of the Trunki suitcase is Michelle! She said, “I saw these months ago, and almost bought a pair for my kids. My practicality and lack of budget prevented me from clicking the “BUY” button, but I still think they’re awesome. My oldest might be a tad big for it now, but I’m sure she’d still ride one with no hesitation whatsoever.}
Congratulations, Michelle! Email your address to kelsey[at]vanillajoy[dot]com. Thanks Trunki!}
THE PRIZE
One reader will win a green Trunki suitcase for kids!
MY REVIEW
Trunki is the perfect kid’s suitcase:
- it’s a good size – large enough for your child’s stuff and small enough for him to carry or pull himself
- it has a hard shell, wheels, and a strap – kids can pull it themselves or sit on it and be pulled (no more whining about sore feet or begging to be carried!)
- it locks – stuff won’t fly out when your child drops or tries to throw it
- it has a little face on the front with ears as the handles
- it’s a fun toy and a functional suitcase!
We used our Trunki on our most recent road trip. It fit nicely in the trunk, held almost all of Elliot’s things, and was a great distraction/toy while we were packing up.
Traveling with kids can be stressful and frustrating – Trunki kids’ luggage at least gives you a way to get where you need to go with all your stuff and without having to carry your child through an enormous airport! I love products that have multiple purposes and a ride-on suitcase is so fun and useful! Thanks, Trunki!

This idea is fantastic. My parents live outside the country, so we do a LOT of travelling. This would make my life so much easier when travelling w/ my two toddlers! Thanks!
Trunki is genius. Traveling through the airport with kids is a nightmare. Trunki discovered a way to make travel fun and functional. Love it!!

Love how strong and sturdy this luggage is…functional and handy for pulling tired kiddos.
What a great idea! This would definitely make layover times pass more quickly for my 2 year old! I love “Harly”…so cute!

I love the Harley trunki! I have seen these in the airport and I thought it was awesome. It is a great alternative to dragging a carry on bag and a stroller. Once my daughter is a toddler I plan to use this for sure!

So Cute!!
We do a lot of traveling and this suitcase would come in so handy. My kids love to help pack and wow, are they good at it! We end up with a lot of stuff! The trunki would be perfect!
I think this is a great idea. Travelling with little ones can be so stressful for parents as well as the children. Trunki helps to alleviate that by being fun and functional.

What a great product! I especially love that kids can sit on it and be pulled. They always seem to get tired of walking!

The idea is awesome!! The look of the suitcase is so unique any kid would love to have one.
This is genius! It is so hard to get through the airport with a little kid sometimes. This could eliminate the need to bring a stroller! It looks really well designed too.

Very fun.
We just finished an airplane trip with my little girl. She’d be too young for this right now, but I can see how it would be very handy after trying to maneuver through over-crowded terminals this week. I’m curious as to how well they handle turns!
I love this thing! We saw a little boy riding one last month. So fun! I wish they had an adult version. I hope I’m the lucky winner!
I have never seen this before. But we make 16 hour road trips every year at least twice, so my almost-3-year old boy would benefit a lot from this. Do I need to mention that he wants to have one just to be like me and dad?
Trunki is amazing! What a fun idea and so practical. It would certainly make traveling a blast!
Thanks so much, Kelsey. I sent you my information in a separate email, just wanted to say thanks again!
We love the Trunki! It’s never far from my kids when they’re at home, currently it’s housing a few dolls and a pair of dress up shoes… it’s fabulous, and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
