For the child who has decided they are going to be a firefighter, Frank the Firetruck is a sensible commitment. The bright fire-engine red body, white and silver window and hose graphics, "FIRE AND RESCUE" banner across the side, blue siren lights on top and "Ladder No. 10" detailing make Frank the most vehicle-specific Trunki in the range. This is not a red suitcase - it is a red suitcase that looks like it has a job to do.
At Frank is in the character-designed tier of the Trunki Glide range. The detail investment is in the vehicle graphics: the printed cab window, the hose and ladder detailing, the siren lights. For children who know the fire truck is what they want, that detail is the reason to pick Frank over Terrance.
Emergency response on the carry-on carousel
Frank's 18 litre clamshell handles the standard Trunki Glide workload: a week of kids clothes on the elastic X-straps, a stuffed toy in the mesh pocket, snacks in the remaining space. At 46 x 20.5 x 31cm he fits most airline carry-on and underseat requirements, and the smooth glide castor wheels handle airport concourses, hotel corridors and campsite paths with steering rather than straight-line rolling.
The tow and carry strap clips to the front siren-light handles for pulling through long departure gates. Dual side locks keep everything closed in transit. At 1.7kg unloaded with a 50kg maximum ride-on weight, Frank is sized for a three-year-old rider and guaranteed for five years. Sticker pack included - more emergency services options, presumably.

About Trunki
Trunki was founded in 2006 by designer Rob Law, who was turned down by Dragon's Den and proceeded to sell millions of children's suitcases globally. The brand's insight was practical: a child who owns their luggage is easier to manage in transit than a child who does not. The five-year guarantee backs the build quality.

Frank is fire-engine red with "FIRE AND RESCUE" graphics and blue siren lights - the emergency services character. Doug the Digger is vivid orange with construction dumper truck detailing. Tommy the Tractor is grass green with farm tractor graphics. All three are vehicle characters at the same price point with identical specs. The choice is purely which vehicle obsession is current.
The tow strap clips to the front of Frank and extends for a parent to pull the suitcase through airports and hotels. It also converts to a carry handle for stairs and overhead racks. For the child who wants to ride rather than walk, it steers the Trunki forward without requiring the child to steer themselves.
Wipe the hard plastic exterior with soap and water or antibacterial wipes. The interior fabric can be wiped with a damp cloth. Do not submerge or machine wash. For the printed fire truck graphics, a soft damp cloth is best to preserve the detail.
