Incredible for Airports with Kids
I spent weeks preparing for a Caribbean winter trip, and got this last minute on a whim. We fly the cheap airlines that don't allow carry-ons, so we instead had 5 personal items and a diaper bag. (Plus two checked bags, and the three checked car seats. Definitely get car seat covers, and a stroller cover, because then you can stuff extra things in it. We gate-checked our stroller and stuffed our coats and portable high chair in the stroller travel bags so there was less stuff to worry about & take up legroom on the plane!)We have 4 young kids who can't really hold backpacks for long periods of time, let alone massively stuffed 'personal items'. So, I got this trolley to do most of the heavy lifting. It was AMAZING. We practiced some configurations at home and practiced carting it around before the big day. The gray bag at the bottom was a very specific type of bag that had a sleeve-panel on the side specifically made to go over suitcase handles. Blessedly, this cart handle is basically the exact dimensions of rolling suitcase handles. So the bag slid on and attached beautifully. This provided our solid base to build up on. This bag at the bottom held solid stuff like diapers, wipes, DVDs, little kid books to read, solid non-smashable snacks like protein bars, sticker books, emergency changes of clothes for the littles, etc. Don't put anything that can't handle the weight of other things on the bottom. After that, we just made sure the things were organized in a way where the center of gravity was low. It was a breeze after practice. Definitely have one of the bags dedicated to small toiletries and a complete outfit, undies, and pj's for everyone. My mom got stranded without any of her luggage and it was terrible! So now I always make sure we can survive at least one day in an emergency. And a bag was dedicated to food and snacks, which was a huge blessing since our crazy short layovers and delayed flights allowed no time to grab meals! We survived the whole day solely off food I packed! Anyway.You CANNOT hit bumps or turns at an ANGLE. You have to go over speed bumps, concrete irregularities, and jetways/jet bridge/sky bridge thing straight on, slow and steady. It took a bit to learn that if we tried going over a speed bump or turning sharply, everything would tip and spill out the sides. So, you have to make sure to go straight and stable. I would tell my helpful kid "Turn straight! Turn straight!" to remind him to not jerk the cart on the turn, but to let it glide forward into the turn.My husband also thought the hooks stayed on better from underneath. So instead of hooking the bungee cords up and over the handle, to hook them wrapping around under the handle. And also to criss cross them. I do think going from underneath helped reduce accidentally bumping them leading them to unclasping and letting loose flying bungee cords.It folded down so compactly that it glided under the seats of all 5 of our planes no problems (lots of layovers). When the plane landed, I would unfold the trolley without extending the handle and slide the first gray bag into place on my lap. (Some planes we were able to even fit the whole thing without taking the gray bag off of the trolley, but most not.) When it was our turn to disembark, my husband would toss me the next bag and the next bag and I would throw them on, secure the bungees, and confidentlystrut down the airplane aisle. If we hadn't only had hour long layovers, we would've waited to be last, but since we had to sprint to our next gates, we had to be assertive and fast. Some aisles were tight, so I had to put it flat instead of tilted, and just kind of scootch it forward with my feet. I didn't even realize it didn't have 4 wheels until we got home. It sure moved like it had four wheels. You just have to keep the two wheels facing forward and it'll do great. The trolley fit flawlessly in the aisles, it was our bags we had to squish and squeeze through sometimes. So make sure your bags are low-profile enough or be prepared to muscle them from behind. Definitely do family-boarding to prevent/reduce casualties.My husband's favorite things about the trolley:- Saved his back- Even the kids could maneuver it (our 7 year old at least, I don't think our 5 year old could've done it)- It condensed 3-4 heavy backpacks into a single thing to roll.- What more is there to say.There you go, folks. Engineer husband approved.When folded up, just wrap the bungees around and secure them to the base, no problem. There is even a nice oval shaped hole in the middle, so the direction of wrapping doesn't even matter.In God's Grace and mercy, we had this. Right after our person dropped us off at the airport and drove away, a critical wheel on our stroller snapped off. It broke, and we had to check the whole stroller because it presented more of a hindrance than a help. Usually we use our quad stroller to hold kids and bags and coats, but since we didn't want to use a handicapped stroller, we stuffed our coats in the stroller bags and sent them on their way. This trolley helped us have the ability to wear the baby, carry the 3 year old, and hold hands with the other kids and only have to worry about carrying two backpacks and a roller instead of 5 backpacks.Held up most excellently. We happily anticipate using it for years. Use it responsibly, treat it well, use physics in your favor (low center of gravity, go straight on the bumps and turns) & store it properly, and this beautiful thing will serve you well.

Lightweight luggage dolly
This is a very handy lightweight luggage dolly. Useful for making light of backpacks you'd rather wheel around than carry on your back. Being so lightweight and packable makes it a great utility piece indeed. It's been on a trip already, and survived very well, so it is durable too. It looks to last quite a few more too. Very pleased with this purchase.

Works well.
I used the item to help me get a very large, heavy, and ungainly duffle bag through the airport. The gungees could be stronger, but I overcame the weakness with some creative wrapping. Folds and unfolds easily. When I checked my duffle, I simply folded the truck and put it inside. It's that compact. Highly recommended as a great value for the money.

Maybe not the best for camping chairs
Nice product for a nice price. I got it to have something small and easily portable to carry 2 camping, collapsible chairs in their long covers, to grandson’s ball games. With the chairs standing vertically, I may need another short bungee cord for more support. Definitely carries them horizontally, but that is just not practical.

FOR INDOOR USE ONLY!
When I found myself needing to move some boxes around my apartment, I saw that using some sort of handcart could be helpful. I didn’t want an expensive one because I knew that I would only use it around my apartment. After careful consideration, like cost and no assembling, I selected this one.My experience with this cart has not been pleasant. It keep folding up. When I place a box on it, the bars fold over. I’ve been trying to figure out if they lock in some way to prevent that. Plus the straps won’t stay in place. This is why I feel that this is only good for indoor use. Boxes or luggage falling off of a cart, while in transit could be quite embarrassing. It serves its purpose around my apartment. By using a cart it helps to prevent my hurting myself from trying to carry to much.This cart folds up easily, without much fuss. And it is very lightweight and storage friendly. Hopefully the next time I use it, I figure out if I can keep it from folding up.

Sturdy
I hauled this hand cart with 40 to 65 lbs of luggage thru a 21-day multi-state Amtrak train trip with stops in LA, Oregon, Denver, Chicago and back to Austin with many miles walked. It has held up thru it all w/out a glitch, snap or crack.

Lightweight
It is exactly what I was looking for. It is light and takes up very little room. I would not be comfortable trying it with 80 lb weight. 50 would be about the max in my opinion.

Works with car seat at airport
Used this to pull the kids car seat thru the airport. When at gate to gate check, just collapse it down and put it inside the car seat bag. It worked very well.
