Ride That Suitcase!
Not that our parents ever had to convince us to travel as little kids, but Trunki sure would have made long lines and hallways at airports a lot more fun. More Japanese anime than barnyard, this animal-themed luggage—especially the catchy video on their site—has IT wishing they made these for adults. The suitcase is light, 3.8 lbs., and sustainable—the company has designed it to use the least amount of parts
and materials as possible, and any returns the company gets are fixed or recycled. Horn grips allow you to steer your Trunki; a “stabilizer” up front keeps you from toppling off. Inside, there are secret compartments for storing treasures, like candy or jewelry. We are especially fond of the Towing Handle, which doubles as a leash and a strap: Dad can either pull tot and Trunki, or sling Trunki (hopefully not with tot atop) around his shoulder, messenger-bag style. Trunki retails for $39.99.

Looks like a great suitcase for kids. Thanks for sharing. I will order it tonight. :)

This is great for family travel with the younger set!
We have found though, once she got to 4 or 5, ours preferred to roll her own bag and took a lot of pride in that.
Anything that adds to the joy of family travel is a good thing! ;)

I would totally rock one of those. Do you guys know if there's a weight limit?
