Folding Luggage Carrier Wheeled Cart Trolley Suitcase Hand Truck Travel Dolly

Lightweight and cleverly designed. It's not the most sturdy-feeling trolley ever, but that's because it's quite light, which is perfect for my traveling needs. I just suggest bringing some extra bungees or accessory cord, as it needs more than just the integrated bungee to securely attach to a bag.

Many of the reviews I read about this cart mentioned difficultly (or lack of information/understanding) about folding the cart back up after use. When the cart is folded up the handle locks down over the ends of the folded legs to keep them in place. In order to unfold the cart you push the button and spring pressure pops the handle up enough that the legs can swing outward. Once the button is pushed the vertical handle can be pivoted up 180-degrees. When you do this the legs will automatically be moved out to their extended position (unless you're holding them together (inadvertently) with your hand) and the handle will "lock" into its vertical position. This "lock" is provided by two spring-loaded pins, you just press against the pressure until the handle locks in place. When you extend the handle (this does not require pushing the button at the top of the handle) the inside tube of the handle moves up and completely opens the holes that the two spring-loaded pin protrude into, then the handle is truly locked into place (prior to moving the handle up the spring-loaded pins are only partially locking the handle, just enough to allow the handle to remain vertical). The first step in folding the cart is to press the button at the top of the handle and collapse the upright handle. In theory it doesn't have to collapse to the point of latching but in practice that's what will happen. You'll have to press against the spring pressure when the handle is almost completely collapsed (the same spring pressure that "pops" the handle up to unfold it) in order to unlock the spring-loaded pins. Once the handle is pressed down you can rotate the vertical handle down...this motion is what unlocks the legs! You cannot fold the legs inward until the cart handle is rotated out of the slot in the grey molded center component (it's the handle being in the "up" position that keeps the legs deployed). Before you get the legs all the way to their stored position you need to press the button on the handle so that it can "pop" back up enough to clear the ends of the legs. With the handle out of the way, fold the legs fully then push the handle back down until it locks. If you're forcing something, you're doing it incorrectly. At most you'll press against some spring pressure when you press the handle all the way down (and it latches). This is very much easier to do than to explain. Now that I know how it works it literally takes seconds to deploy or fold the cart. I'd really like a higher tech version of this made out of aluminum at half the weight (and probably four times the cost!) since my only complaint is that it's a little heavy (I'd like to stick in my eBags Mother Lode backpack)...but honestly, that's nitpicking since this cart weighs in at 1.9 pounds on my digital scale. I love the design and the compactness, and given the cost it's a great value. Of course, we'll see how it holds up...

I like how compact and light this thing is, but when I tried carrying my luggage with this, it was hard to secure it in one place. My luggage kept on sliding and falling off, even with extra ropes to tie it.

I broke it trying to refold it. There are no instructions on how to refold it. So I followed the review that said 'push the wheels together'. It didn't take much pressure.... one of the legs broke off. Then, after it was broken. . . I read another review that said the handle needs to re-track into itself (which I did) and then needs to be completely ROTATED back into the shaft (toward the wheels) which I didn't do. I apparently had a senior moment . . had I just looked at the 'folded' picture on the box it is pretty obvious what needed to be done. However, not the ORDER in which it needs to be done. So my tip is this: Re-track the handle until you see the pin pop into the hole in the handle. Then you can rotate the handle forward and back down into the shaft toward the wheels. (I needed to use a little pressure to pull the handle forward.) After the handle is fully back into the shaft. . THEN push the legs together. You will need to release the button on the top of the handle and pull back by 1/2 inch to put the legs back in place and lock completely. I hope this helps someone else. someone else.

Well, I don't usually write a review for a product, but I always read them. I read the reviews and knew that the item didn't have instructions for use, especially on how to close it once open. I was excited about this, a small item that would eliminate the shoulder discomfort carrying my bag through the airport. Well, I received the item, opened it according to instructions, and then tried to close the wheels, as everyone said they are difficult at first. With just a little pressure, the whole arm broke immediately. How disappointing. I can't close the other wheel because the levers seem to have to move together, and cannot fold the handle back down. I am extremely disappointed in this high density, shatterproof plastic lever. Not what I expected, now I have to return it. This lasted a whole 4 minutes.

It's going to work great for my trip, but it is super difficult to fold back up again. That main handle - while I managed to get it to fold up - I have no idea how I did it. It just suddenly gave way and folded. Feels flimsy and you don't want to force it because it will break or bend - great design apart from the refolding thing. For the price I really can't complain.

An engineered design with better than average quality build for a consumer device. The trolley is compact, and small enough to fit inside the back pocket of my road-warrior laptop briefcase. When unfolded, the trolley provides a good solution for the right application: wheeling a small heavy laptop bag in an airport environment. On a recent three-hour delay at Heathrow Terminal 5, had purchased a “Design Go Travel” trolley, that worked great and is bullet proof (and thus also recommended); but the DGT is bulky, even when folded. I subsequently looked at wheeled laptop briefcases, but they are bulky and heavy, even empty. Whereas, this unbranded “Luggage Carrier” product is the lightweight, small, portable solution I was looking for on my next flight. If only I had found this trolley several 1K mileage awards ago.
