Clever and useful gadget, January 2, 2010
This review is from: Travelon Bag Bungee (Apparel)
Kudos to the inventor of this gadget! I have a really good rolling suitcase - the
Eagle Creek Travel Gear Tarmac 25 Wheeled Travel Bag, and I usually carry a matching tote bag that has a back panel that slips over the rolling suitcase handle so I can manage both bags with one hand.
But sometimes I'm not carrying a bag with a slip panel, and need a way to balance the smaller bag on top of my Tarmac 25 so I can roll them along together, instead of having to carry the smaller bag.
This gadget makes that possible. The instructions for using it are printed right on the back of it, so I was able to figure out how to fasten it to my rolling bag. And to figure it out again, the next time I used it, because I forgot in the interim. I wouldn't mind the cords on this thing being just a little longer, but it's really sufficient for even large tote bags, as far as I can tell.
I was going to get some regular hardware store bungee cords with hooks at the ends, to try lashing a bag to the top of my rolling bag, but I'm glad I found this gadget before resorting to that. It's small enough to slip into the top outer pocket of my rolling bag, taking up almost no space, when not in use.

Disappointed, February 25, 2010
Unfortunately, this bungee did not work on my luggage. The bungee hooks to the suitcase top handle, and then must wrap around the smaller bag that is on top, and then finally, loops around the extended handle of the larger luggage. The extended handle on my luggage, although plenty long enough for comfortable pulling, was too short for the bungee to wrap around. With a different bag, it may work fine. But I wasted my money.

Works pretty good... does take a little getting used to in order to use it correctly; thankfully it does have the instructions on the item itself so all you have to do is review the pictures on the instructions.
Came in handy on the shorter length trips where all we brought on the plane was our carry on suitcases and the one other item each of us were allowed... which in my case was a briefcase with laptop. It was welcome change having a free hand to hold my beverage rather then one hand wheeling the suitcase and the other toting my briefcase prior to purchasing this item. It does take an extra minute to setup correctly when taking the luggage out of the car, but the minute was well spent as I then had a free hand for the next hour while we waited to board the plane.
