Trunki Glide Ride-on Luggage - Doug the Digger
$99.95
The construction site phase - trucks, diggers, dumpers, excavators - is one of the more durable early childhood fixations, and Doug the Digger is built for the children in the middle of it. The vivid orange body with a pale blue cab window, black tyre and exhaust detailing, "Dumper No. 5" lettering on the side, and exhaust-stack horns on the rear is a complete construction vehicle character. For children who can distinguish a dumper from a digger and care about the difference, Doug is the call.
Doug is in the character-designed tier of the Trunki Glide range. The premium over Terrance is the vehicle graphic investment - the cab window detail, the exhaust stacks, the "Dumper No. 5" identity. If the construction vehicle is what the child wants on their suitcase, that is what they get.
Dumper No. 5 reporting for carry-on duty
Doug's 18 litre clamshell at 46 x 20.5 x 31cm fits within most airline carry-on and underseat limits. The smooth glide castor wheels steer through airports and hotel lobbies; the elastic X-straps secure clothes inside the lid; the mesh pocket with safety strap holds the essential stuffed animal. The tow and carry strap clips to the front exhaust-stack handles for pulling, and doubles as a carry strap for stairs.
At 1.7kg unloaded with a 50kg maximum ride-on weight and a five-year guarantee, Doug is sized for a three-year-old and built to last through primary school. Sticker pack included for additional site signage, presumably.

About Trunki
Trunki was founded in 2006 by designer Rob Law following his Dragon's Den rejection, and became one of the world's most recognised children's travel brands. The design premise - a suitcase a child takes ownership of is more useful than one a parent carries - still holds. Five-year guarantee on every Glide. See the full range.

All three are vehicle-character Trunkis with identical specs. Doug is vivid orange with construction dumper detailing ("Dumper No. 5"). Frank the Firetruck is fire-engine red with FIRE AND RESCUE graphics and siren lights. Tommy the Tractor is grass green with farm tractor details ("Tractor No. 1"). The choice is purely which vehicle your child is into right now.
Doug is a dumper truck - specifically "Dumper No. 5" according to his own side lettering. The orange body, black tyre graphics and exhaust stack horns are all consistent with a construction dumper design. If your child is particular about the specific vehicle type, it is worth noting: Doug is a dumper, not an excavator or digger. The name is Trunki's own branding rather than a precise vehicle category.
Wipe the hard plastic exterior with soap and water or antibacterial wipes. Interior fabric can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not submerge or machine wash. The vivid orange surface is forgiving of most surface marks.
