Ryanair travellers can now bring a Trunki for children free
Trunki is a ride-on suitcase specifically designed for kids. At 46 x 21 x 31cm, it was designed to fit in the overhead locker and for children to wear as a backpack when they're not riding on it. But, since the rules tightened on hand luggage sizes, posters on Mumsnet reported not being able to take it as free hand luggage, as it exceeded the small bag dimensions. One Mumsnet poster asked: "Has anyone taken a Trunki on a Ryanair flight recently? My 2 children were going to take them as their free cabin baggage on our flight on Friday but now I've realised they're too big according to the Ryanair website - does anyone know if they make exceptions for the Trunki? I've tried the Livechat on the website but (of course) they are too busy and can't reply." Another poster replied: "I'm sure they will happily take them on as the paid for 10kg cabin baggage but not sure why they would take them on as their free option. Yes its a bit annoying as we had a Trunki night as a present just before they changed their rules but we now just use them for car travel." Another added: "We assumed we could in 2019. We couldn't and had to pay on the way out. On the way back we put them in our pushchair bag for free to avoid paying the extra cost." #TrunkiTravels ♬ original sound - Trunki @trunkitravels Top travel tips… ✨ 4. Come prepared with snacks 5.

However, a post on Ryanair's website says Trunkis are now accepted. The Ryanair Travelling with Children page says: "Yes, children (2-11 years) are permitted to carry one Trunki case, which may exceed these dimension limits of the small bag (40 x 20 x 25cm). As well as Trunki cases, other brands with similar dimensions are also accepted on board." Recommended reading: According to luggage storage company Bounce: "If you are traveling with children, there are a number of different luggage cases on the market designed to double up as seating for a young child. These include cases from MiaMily and Trunki. "Your youngster can sit on the case and roll alongside you, saving you the effort of carrying them in your arms alongside managing all your luggage. These types of cases are also small and lightweight, which makes them eligible as a carry-on for most airlines." What is a Trunki? Trunki is a brand of ride-on/carry-on hand luggage for children, designed by Rob Law. The product became well-known after featuring on the UK television series Dragons' Den in 2006. The company has gone on to sell more than 3,000,000 Trunki suitcases, in over 100 countries worldwide, through retailers including John Lewis, Argos, Harrods, Tesco and Next.

Tesco Clubcard Christmas Savers bonus payout of 6 per cent
Tesco Clubcard Christmas Savers allows shoppers to build a pot throughout the year, as well as keeping Clubcard points, and the supermarket will add a festive bonus, just in time for the big seasonal shop. Customers say it's a welcome scheme for anyone who likes to save a little each week, and who regularly buys their big Christmas shop at Tesco. On its website, Tesco says: "We'll look after all the Clubcard vouchers you get when you shop and collect Clubcard points with us during the year, up to 16 October 2025 when the 2025 scheme closes. "You'll then get all your vouchers in your November Clubcard statement, just in time to spend on your big Christmas shop. Plus, from the 26 December 2024, you can also top up your savings throughout the year with your own money, to a maximum of £360." They add: "When you've topped up at least £200, you'll get a £12 bonus on us, to help you save even more for the festive season." On a £200 investment, paid in before the October deadline, that's a six per cent return - higher than most bank accounts. Recommended reading Customers who top up between £100 and £199 will get £6 bonus, between £50 and £99 it's £3, and from £25 to £49 they will add £1.50. Mumsnet posters have been using the scheme, with one posting: "Anyone else use this? It's new I think. I always shop online with Tesco. Now they have a saver thing that you can top up throughout the year online to help save for Christmas." Another added: "It's been like that for a while. I have £265 in Clubcard vouchers but I do the Clubcard challenge also. "
