Luggage didn't hold up during travel

Advantages: Lightweight and nice color
Disadvantages: Frame bends too easy during travel making it impossible to pull out the handle to use to pull it.

...purchased a pretty turqoise colored Travelpro WalkAbout Lite 26" Expandable RollaBoard Suiter. I have taken it on a few vacations so far. Unfortunately, yesterday on my trip back from Phoenix to Sacramento, my baggage was damaged. First off, I couldn't pull the handle out to pull it. I thought possibly something was wedged and waited until I got home to check out the problem. It was after I removed everything out of the suitcase that I noticed the ...
...I also noticed a zipper pull was missing. I am very dissatisfied that this luggage didn't hold up during normal travel. It was in good shape when I gave it to baggage claim. I now have to go purchase another suitcase for my trip next week. I will not be buying the same type of case again. ...

Review of Travelpro WalkAbout Lite 26 Expandable Rollaboard Suiter

The best holiday purchase ever. So many uses, so much fun!

Advantages: So many uses, durable, fun, large storage capacity.
Disadvantages: Hidden compartments too small, hard to turn corners as wheels are fixed.

We bought the Tipu the Tiger Trunki for our son to take on holiday this year. We've travelled by plane before and used a childs wheeled suitcase for his bits and bobs but the Trunki provides so much more than just storage. Before departure it's fun to let him pick his own toys/books etc to go in Trunki. I then sneak a few new activity books, stickers, toys and snacks etc in for him to discover later on. Trunki has a very good storage capacity and ...
...an elastic luggage strap to hold his toys in place. It also has a fabric pocket which runs the length of Trunki. The hidden compartments are a bit daft as they're too small to put anything in. Trunki is also a ride-on toy that can be powered by the child propelling themselves with their feet, or the long carry strap can be unhooked at either end and used to pull the child along. It can be very difficult to steer/turn corners unless your child helps ...

Trunki Terminates Toddler Terminal Travel Troubles

Advantages: Great design. Easy to use. Kid friendly. Durable.
Disadvantages: None to speak of.

INTRODUCTION Anyone who has a young child (or two) will be intimately familiar with the keenly felt frustration that all parents experience at Heathrow after a long flight. You exit the gate, the moving walkways are out of order, you are saddled with various hand luggage and duty free bags, and your tired, sleepy and grumpy little so and so decides they’re not walking for love nor Smarties (I would say money, but chocolate is the preferred ...
...out to Cyprus, the airport staff at Larnaka never seem to have any problems delivering strollers and push chairs to the base of the stairs from which you disembark the aircraft, but such common sense and practicality seems anathema to staff at most of our British airports. In fact, you’ll be lucky to collect your property in one piece - if you’ve managed to negotiate the labyrinthine and never ending corridors of Heathrow’s terminals without breaking ...

Review of Magmatic Trunki Luggage for Little People

I am all packed mum

Advantages: A bag and toy in one
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to other chidrens' bags

We have been on a few holidays with the little one and she wanted her own bag to take on the plane and I knew straight away which one I was getting her, the trunki. My mum brought it for her for her birthday and she loved it and it has now been on a couple of holidays and is used every time she goes to stay at someone house which is at least once every two weeks so is regularly used. You are probably thinking what makes this child bag stand out ...
...bag was designed to be light and up to the maximum size a hand luggage for a plane can be. What makes it so special is that it is made from a strong light plastic, has a moulded seat as part of the case, has four wheels at the bottom, two little horns at the top which act as handles and a strap that is detachable. Your little one then sits on the trunki, holds on to the horn while you can pull them along. This is great when you have no buggy and ...

Review of Magmatic Trunki Luggage for Little People

Stylish but hardly practical

Advantages: Compartments were great for sorting small things
Disadvantages: That buckle!

...would fasten together. You'd expect Pacsafe tested this during pre-manufacturing days. After our 2nd week the zipper material (cotton sides) tore. Not impressed. No longer was it secure but the torn part became so large I could get my whole hand in. We sent it back to supplier and they replaced it with a Pacsafe Meshsafe** B200 without question. ...
