My son absolutely loves his new Trunki!! He rides on it, packs toys in it, and uses it a a "pressent". I think that it will be good to carry his things on the plane, especially since he can be pulled through the airport on it. However, it is not much in the way of luggage. There is absolutely no way to organize anything and I expect to have a complete jumble of toys, food, and books once we get on the plane. Also, the "sweets compartment" is a joke since only it has only room for a few jelly beans. I think that it has functionality, but a mesh compartment or two would take this to five stars.
