Awards
The Trunki Peppa Pig Party Bus Ride-On Suitcase won Bronze for Best Travel Product Over £30 in the Mother&Baby Awards 2025, and it's easy to see why. The lightweight design doesn't compromise on capacity, so you can keep lots of toys and essentials in here when you're on the go. It also encourages your little one's imagination, as they can engage with the colourful pattern and recognisable characters while they ride happily on top of the bag. Don't just take our word for it - we asked our Mother & Baby testers to try out this suitcase with their children, so you can read their thoughts below.
Testing the Trunki Peppa Pig Party Bus Ride-On Suitcase
From the moment it arrived, the Trunki Peppa Pig Party Bus made a lasting impression on testers with its vibrant, character-filled design. As one parent shared, "My children loved the neutral bus design, and both enjoy Peppa Pig and loved finding all of the Peppa Pig characters on the suitcase." Another tester described it as "bright and colourful, with characters that my 3-year-old instantly recognised and was drawn to." The bold, eye-catching look doesn’t just appeal to Peppa fans—it also ensures your child's luggage is easy to spot in a crowd.
The Trunki excels at turning travel into a fun, empowering experience for young children. One parent noted that their child was "excited to start packing!", while another appreciated that "my child loved the independence of having her own bag." The locking system is also simple enough for little ones to manage themselves: “My daughter easily realised how to use the locking system and loved being grown up doing this herself.” It helps children feel involved in the packing and travel process in a way that a typical suitcase simply doesn't.
Despite its compact cabin-friendly size, the Trunki impressed families with its surprising capacity. One reviewer noted, "You can fit quite a lot inside—my daughter loved putting her bits and bobs in… she could even fit in a pillow, Peppa Pig plushies, her iPad and other toys, and it still managed to close." Another echoed this sentiment, saying, "The Trunki held a good volume of luggage, whilst being lightweight and compact in size and strong enough to carry my children and contents."
Internally, the suitcase includes helpful extras like a strap and internal holder, which “were helpful at keeping things in place and keeping items more organised.” This makes it great for "activities, essentials like nappies, wipes and spare clothes," especially when you want to save room in your main suitcase.
Perhaps Trunki’s most iconic feature is its ride-on functionality, which adds a whole layer of fun and utility during travel. One parent observed, “My little ones were able to pull each other along and the suitcase travelled easily along the paths/walkways.” It’s a great option for “short travel durations” where kids may tire of walking, and while it's not a full stroller replacement, it certainly helps alleviate tired legs.
The hard outer shell is built for rough handling: "It is sturdy enough for my two little ones to take turns sitting on it… it didn't buckle under my 6-year-old.” Parents were also reassured by the “durable material” and noted that even “despite plenty of use, we have no scratches!”
Another plus for families: the Trunki is easy to clean. Its wipeable surface makes post-travel cleanup simple, with testers noting that “the suitcase is easy to clean and wipe down after use and therefore easy to maintain.”
Final verdict
The Trunki Peppa Pig Party Bus Ride-On Suitcase successfully blends practical storage with playful design, making it a fantastic travel companion for young children. Its colourful, recognisable look is a hit with Peppa fans, and parents appreciated its durability, internal space, and how it empowered children to take charge of their belongings. With smooth-rolling wheels, a sturdy seat, and plenty of thoughtful details, it’s no surprise that one reviewer summed it up simply: “The Trunki is definitely built to last and I would highly recommend.”
