Which Dragon's Den product was a children's ride-on suitcase created by entrepreneur Rob Law?

The story behind the answer

Trunki was the children's ride-on suitcase created by entrepreneur Rob Law and presented on Dragon's Den.

The product is a hard-shell carry-on case designed so children can sit on it and ride through airports or other travel spaces. Rob Law developed the idea after identifying a need for children to have luggage that was both practical and engaging. Its distinctive shape and bright colours helped it stand out from ordinary suitcases.

Law pitched Trunki on Dragon's Den seeking investment, but the Dragons did not make a deal. The rejection became part of the product's public story because Trunki later became a successful commercial brand and won design recognition. A televised refusal therefore did not prevent the business from growing.

Trunki is sometimes confused with products that received investments on the programme, especially because it became one of the show's best-known entrepreneurial stories. The key distinction is that the famous Trunki pitch ended without an investment from the Dragons, while the product itself continued independently.
