i've been searching for the luggage cart you had in a recent post (thanks for the pic by the way!!) and i wanted to know if this was it:

it is cheaper than you had mentioned....but looks the same.

has it seemed to hold up for you???? do you think you could fit two carseats on there (without kiddos of course!)? does it seem sturdy?

I'm thinking about ordering it online.....

Not Crunchy, obviously, but we have that same one. I have flown with it several times. The Marathon and Radian LATCH right on. I have had the seat with a kid in, or a MA with the Radian on top. It works, but it is a little tippy. I went through one airport with the MA and DD1 on the cart, the Radian and diaper bag hanging off the top, and DD2 in a sling. It was rough, and we had to go very slowly to prevent it from tipping, but it worked to push in front better instead of pulling along behind. With no kids in it, it worked alot better.

I'm not sure if it's the exact one. I haven't been able to find ours online. I wanted to link to it when I posted that pic before.

sorry the pics aren't great. My phone is so much easier for downloading than my camera.

I think our wheels are bigger-

and our base expands-

of course, it might be identical and I'm imagining things to justify the extra $12 I paid. I see now that the one online expands, too. I don't regret it because it was something we needed right away and the only thing my Target had in stock. We also added a bungee cord through the beltpath to stabilize it. It wasn't tippy at all and ds rode in it fine.

oh and just for the heck of it, here's what it looks like folded up-

excuse the muddy wheels. it was raining the last time we flew home and the long term lot was kind of a mess.


edit: okay, I'm pretty sure it's different based on the dimensions listed online-

• Durable steel, but weighs only 3.25 lbs. ours is more like 6 or 7 lbs doing the weigh yourself twice trick.
• Easily folds to a compact 20Hx11.75Wx3.75D" I'm guessing the 3.75" D is the wheels and ours are 6".

are those worth $12? doubt it. :p

That looks like the one I used for school. Got it at Walmart for under $20
