Limited-Edition Frieda Cow Trunki

You travel in seek of rest and relaxation. The only snag? You need a week to recover after hauling everyone’s baggage around.

Luckily, little luggage expert Trunki has a solution for turbulent journeys.

British designer Rob Law’s suitcases let children pull them behind or ride on top and be tugged along by Daddy. The new limited-edition Frieda cow Trunki has secret compartments, teddy bear seat belts and a cow bell, and can be accessorised with stickers or a drink or snack holster — so Junior can get his meals on wheels while you rest up at the seafood bar.

What a smooth moove.

Available at Igloo, 300 Upper Street, N1 2TU (020 7354 7300 or iglookids.co.uk); John Lewis, 300 Oxford Street, W1A 1EX (020 7629 7711 or johnlewis.com). Accessories available online at trunki.co.uk.
