Trunki SnooziHedz Travel Pillow and Blanket - Ollie the Owl (Purple)

My little boy loves this, especially when travelling he wraps himself up and has a portable pillow.

I purchased this for my 4 year old son for the long haul flights we take to visit family and I thought it would be nice for long car rides. I liked the Felixstowe fox design as being red could be ideal for a boy or girl. The packaging was minimal. There is the outer "head" which zips at the side and has a blanket and internal blow up pillow shaped plastic piece that comes out. I love that it all fits into the head, although after you take it out the first time it is near impossible to get it in as well as it first arrives. The fleece is thin, but seems to be anti-pill (ie won't bobble as easy) and although thin is warm. The pocket on the fleece is pretty big, my son has been sticking snacks and drinks in it. Good for little toys. The stitching detail in the head and on the face pocket on the fleece are good quality. I do like the circular fabric pull through on the corner or the bag and fleece to secure the blanket together around the user or to connect the head to the fleece . I've had similar things but with Velcro and the Velcro would get itchy or come loose easy. My son has been wearing it as a cape and enjoys that too! :)I do have a few little issues with it though. The inflatable section is a pain to get right in the head. I've found easiest to blow it up a little position it, blow up, but not all the way and then zip shut. I thought this piece was built into the head as lining, but it isn't. You have to get the amount of air in it just right to be able to zip it shut, but it sits funny in the head which makes it difficult to close anyways. Pushing the valve in while its inside the head is fiddly. But this inflatable bit does seem good quality, but I think could be burst if the right weight was put on it, but I think you'd have to intentionally try to pop it to do it. I don't think my son would have the power to.It is expensive for what it is. If it wasn't trunki it wouldn't be £15.00. I had thought about making one and to be honest if you could source the right material and had a good sewing machine it wouldn't be difficult to make. It is however good quality, like every other trunki product I've come across. The issues are minimal, but I think once you get the hang of putting the inflatable bit in its a really good buy. Felix is very cute and my son loves it!

This was a great purchase for our first intercontinental flight. Would highly recommend it.

The key question about this item is: if I lost it, would I get another as a replacement? I'm afraid the answer is no.There are a couple of issues for me:The first issue is the whole pillow is smaller than the photos make it look; it's roughly an adult hand-span wide and an adult hand-span plus 2 inches long.The second issue is the blanket is tight fit for the pillow, after folding it, I have to wedge the blanket back into its pillowcase as the zip opening is a couple of inches shorter than the side it opens into, so the pillow could either do with being more spacious, or at least have a zip that goes to the very edges of the sides or even around two sides.The third issue is the blanket is about 2 feet wide and 3 feet long and has a large pouch in it about a foot down from the top each but it mainly serves as a crumb catcher and holder, which I really don't like, it's easier to clean crumbs off clothes or a car seat than down a fabric crevice (of course, the easy answer is to use the blanket with the pocket on the inside - upside down wouldn't work as that would defeat the purpose of the `Trunki-Grip' which is only at one end).It's is a shame that I don't like the SnooziHedz Travel Pillow and Blanket more because I respect the Trunki brand (having become a huge success after not getting the deal that was sought on Dragon's Den. . . surely anyone would be impressed??).My son uses it only as a head rest for his car seat, he's too young to want to wear the blanket as a cape and not does he like it on him when we drape it over him if he falls asleep.If you want to experiment and have the cash to spare then give it a shot, otherwise perhaps you should give it a miss, it's not an 'essential'.

Perfect for going on holiday

This is the second SnooziHedz I have purchased from trunks and yet again I'm disappointed with the quality... on both models the zip is less than standard in quality and broke within 2-3 uses. I only give it 2 stars as it packs nicely into our trunks booster seat and my daughters like for car journeys... do not bother for airplanes a complete waste of time! Very disappointed as it is a trunki product...

Great pillow blanket combo. Love that they stay together. Would have given five stars but the inflatable pillow inside is a bit awkward. Deflated it a bunch, and it helps with the comfort. Overall, it works the way my daughter needs it to and it is really cute. Washed it twice and no problems so far.

Great item, happy customer :-)
