SAMB Christmas Gift Guide – Trunki

November 21, 2016 by Laura le Roux 2 Comments

Every year when we head down to Cape Town I eye out the Trunki range of travel accessories because they really are super cute and if you are ever at an airport you will always see a few kids wheeling their Trunkies around. They have a pretty extensive range though so if you are planning on travelling, check them out.

Trunki is your kids ultimate travel accessory for families on the go and is available in store this holiday season! With a variety of products in the range, you are sure to please your tot during travel, playtime or outings. The Trunki range offers essential ‘travelling tot’ accessories, no matter the destination.

  • Trunki|SA Mom BlogsTrunki – the award winning, innovative, ride-on, pull along suitcase for kids. This 3-in-1 suitcase is designed to be used as hand luggage for children 3 years and older to take the fuss out of travelling. Not only is it super cute, it also teaches kids to take responsibility for their own belongings by allowing them to pack and strap in their favourite toys AND offers a convenient ‘ride-on’ or ‘pull along’ feature to ease the backs and shoulders of parents.  Whether it’s a weekend away or an around the world trip, Trunki makes for the ideal travel companion and comes in a variety of fun and colourful characters including the original Terrance Blue and Trixie Pink, or Tipu the Tiger and Harley the Ladybug as well as the new to South Africa Zimba the Zebra from as little as R899.00Trunki|SA Mom Blogs
