One of the two original Trunki cases, Terrance Trunki (or the blue one) has recently been updated for 2009, like the rest of the trunkie range of childrens luggage.

Yes kids can still ride on this little Terrance Trunki case, they can tow him behind them, carry him over their shoulder or simply sit on it and be towed along by mummy or daddy.  But now this blue Trunki has 2 added handles on the top to make picking it up alot easier, it also now has 2 lockable catches to make it more secure.  Internal straps to hold ted or anything else for that matter in place throughout your travels, there is now even an internal pouch and secret compartment.

Trunki cases are made from the same materials as adult cases and are extremely durable as you would expect from anything designed exclusively for kids, however, due to their size ( 46 x 20 x 30.5 cm) it is recommended that they are kept as part of your carry-on luggage and not sent through to the hold.  Terrance Trunki is however, CE marked and meets with EN 71 safety standards. 

Designed for children aged 3-6 Trunki cases are fantastic fun and really do make your life easier as children want to take ownership of their own stuff and seem to adore towing their great colourful character cases around the airport.  Another big plus is that they always have somewhere to sit when your coach puts you at the end of that long package tour queue for check-in.  I for one will be petitioning for Trunki to design a similar case for adults!
