Advantages: Great design, large face of Thomas on the front of each piece

Disadvantages: Doesn't hold much

I bought this luggage set for my son when he was 1 as he was always going to stay at his Grandma's house and wanted his own bags to take with him. On first inspection it looks great - 4 items, each with a large picture of Thomas the Tank Engine on the front. The set comprises a trolley suitcase on wheels, a swimbag, a rucksack and a wallet.

The wallet is fantastic - my son loves having his own money and uses it all the time. It is a typical child's velcro wallet with a space for notes and a coin compartment.

The swimbag is exactly what it says - a swimbag. It is suitable for waterproof items such as a towel and swimsuit.

The rucksack is fairly small but does the job - it is small enough for a toddler to hold on their back without falling over from the sheer size!!

The trolley case was the let down for me - I was expecting something with a decent size for example big enough to hold a child's clothes for a weekend trip away. However, it is so small that I could hardly fit anything into it. It is zip close so there isn't a very big opening to put things into, and it isn't very deep so again, not much will fit.

I have since had to buy a bigger child's suitacase to do the job I wanted this set to do, so this set has now been relegated to play. I wouldn't recommend this set if you actually wanted to be able to use it as luggage.

Summary: Really a waste of money if you actually want to use it as luggage
