Trunki Travel Chums Wash Bag
by brady58
My son loves his Trunki suitcase so I bought him the matching wash bag to go with it for our summer holidays this year. Even though are holidays aren't for a couple of months he used it recently on a trip to the Lake District and loved it and has now taken to using it around the house to keep his things in.
I bought it from ... Amazon for £5.95 as this was the cheapest place and they can be bought for around about £10 most other places so shop around before buying it.
We have a few different Trunki products now and all of them so far have been amazing quality and really sturdy which I think is important when considering buying things especially for kids as we all know they can be a little rough with their things and not take care of them like they should.
A wash bag wasn't an essential thing for my son but he liked the idea of being a little more independent and having his own just his mum and sister. He only really had a toothbrush but I bought him his own special soap and toothpaste for it so that he had something to put in it.
The bag is made from neoprene which means that it is really easy to keep clean and any spillages on it just need to be wiped down. The neoprene also means that the bag can be fit in a suitcase and doesn't take up much room as it isn't rigid.
The stitching is all really good with no loose bits coming away from it and it is constructed well.
The bag isn't huge and will only store a few items inside it but there should be more than enough room for most kids things as unlike adults they don't need or want to use loads of products on themselves. There is plenty of room for the essentials such as soap, toothbrushes, paste and a flannel.
There is also a clear plastic bag inside for liquids so if you are going to the airport you don't need to worry about transferring everything to one of those clear plastic bags they have and you have to use now.
The real joy of the washbag is in its design which is quirky and ideal for smaller kids. The one I have is blue and green and looks sort of like a dinsosaur and my son absolutely loves it and think it looks really 'cool'. They do come in other colours including pink for girls.
I would recommend these washbags as they aren't too expensive and are great quality and it's nice for kids to feel as though they have their own bag for their items and it makes my son feel as though he is a little bit more grown up and special.

Trunki Travel Chums Wash Bag
by cornishchic
My daughter goes to stay with her nan and grandad when they come down to visit from up country, I used to just put her little toiletries into a food bag until I came across this Trunki wash bag.
The wash bag is quite small, but for child size toiletries it isn't a problem for us. It is roughly 12cm high, 22cm long and 8cm ... wide. There are two different colours available, the blue variety as shown in the picture, or the pink variety that my daughter has.
Inside the wash bag is a clear waterproof pouch with the Trunki logo in one corner. Although we haven't flown with this, it is perfect to put those liquids in at the airport. I tend to keep my daughters toothbrush in this part. Also inside the wash bag is an integrated circular mesh pocket. Its about 5cm wide so quite sizable, we haven't found a use for this yet but I guess it would be an ideal size for a bar of soap. There is a plastic hook featured inside the wash bag too.
The design of the Trunki wash bag is as cute as Trunki's other products, with the side resembling that of a side of a fish. The detailing is mainly in purple, with a purple eye on each side of the bag and purple scales. Trunki have also stitched on a green semi circle which looks like the fish fin. The soft material of the wash bag means it is nice for children to hold, but at the same time it can easily be wiped if something got spilt and is quick to dry again.
I'm not really sure what the hook inside the bag is meant to hook onto. As it is located inside, the zip would have to be open for it to be able to clip onto anything, but then the contents could fall out, it baffles me!
My daughter loves her Trunki wash bag, so much so that we often have to pack it even if we aren't going anywhere! The size of the wash bag is just right for younger children, it can hold a shampoo bottle, tube of toothpaste, bottle of liquid soap, flannel and toothbrush if we arrange it in the right way, but there is little room to spare.
This wash bag is quite expensive with a RRP of £9.99. I bought mine from Amazon and paid around £4.50 if my memory serves me correctly. I don't think I would pay the RRP for the wash bag, although it does look appealing for children and have a nice size, there are other wash bags on the market loads cheaper.

Trunki Travel Chums Wash Bag
by northernlovely
**What is it?**
The Trunki Travel Chums are items aimed at young children for travel, in the style of, and to compliment, their Trunki ride on suitcase. This review covers the washbag.
**Price and Availability**
The Trunki Travel Chums wash bag is available between £5.95 and £9.99 depending on retailer. ... It is available at Amazon, John Lewis, BabyWorld and Mothercare along with independent retailers.
**Looks**
You can get the Trunki Travel Chums wash bag in a vibrant pink and purple mix for girls, and a blue and green mix for boys. They are styled in a neoprene type material (a bit like a thick wetsuit, or a durable foam), with a durable, safe zipper.
**Use**
There is plenty of room in the wash bag for everything a travelling child could need - bubble bath, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpase and so on. And as it's waterproof it doesn't matter if the bottles are wet from use, the clothes and toys in the Trunki won't get wet. I find that it's also great for taking to the swimming baths because rather than fiddling with a carrier bag (which usually have holes in) they're great to put wet swimming clothes in.
**Recommend?**
I absolutely recommend the Trunki Travel Chums wash bag because for the price it's versatile, well made and matches the Trunki! Regular wash bags cost about £5 so this is a great price for a branded, sturdy bag.
I have a few items in the Trunki Travel Chums range and this is my favourite as it has uses other than just for travelling which makes it well worth the money.
