Trunki Tipu the Tiger is a new limited edition Trunki travel suitcase for littlies. Tipu has the features of the traditional Trunki, except he also has stripes and whiskers. He can be taken on planes as hand luggage. He can be packed, sat on, ridden, pulled by leash, and carried via shoulder strap by grown-ups.
Little people adore a Trunki. They love the little wheels, horn-like handles, and getting to pack their own stuff. Trunki's a light, durable holiday tantrum saver.
Tipu Tiger Trunki measures 47cm x 20cm x 31cm and supports littlies up to 50kg. He's perfect for little travellers in the 2-5yo age range - depending on size, co-ordination. and whether they're afraid of tigers. Tipu is the latest of the genuinely limited edition Trunkis. He replaces the now totally unavailable Freida Cow, and Tipu himself will go back to the jungle for good very soon.
Young Englishman Rob Law got the idea for Trunki whilst in an airport when a uni student. After working in Australia he returned to the UK to develop this. Trunki was famously slammed on BBC TV's Dragon Den in 2006 as being "worthless". Needless to say, in only two years it's now a massive hit in Europe.
