Samsonite Compact Folding Luggage Cart, Black, One Size

I air travel a lot, and always carry on my luggage (A duffel bag w/ backpack feature, 37L, fits in small plane overheads). Carrying the backpack is now more tiring - so I tried out some compact folding luggage carts. My wants being to easily stow and functionality to haul around. This Samsonite compact luggage cart meets the mark. It folds up very compact - a little larger than competing but more flimsy options - & easily stows - I often just keep it connected to the duffle in the overhead. It rolls great, is durably constructed and the bungee straps are good for centering the load. Rolls well when pulled around. Sure, it tips from time to time - maybe a four wheel version could be devised. Highly recommend.

I have back problems and the last time I did this ORD<>LAX trip I was miserable due to the very long walks. This cart made all the difference! I have to make this trip several times a year and need to have 3 pieces of luggage that equate to 2 carryon sized items plus 1 personal item. As a travel road warrior I've had my share of various luggage and travel accessories. This is a top of the pile recommended accessory. Recently I needed to travel with 3 pieces: a 22" carry on rollaboard that had to be checked, a full-sized tri-fold garment bag, and a laptop travel brief. In this scenario, I had to check the Travelpro at the curb and use this cart for the garment bag and travel brief. This cart worked great the ORD<>LAX trip. After checking the 22" carryon, I used this cart to carry the garment bag and brief. I ended up with very long walks inside both terminals and outside to both rideshare locations over many different surfaces, easily over 2 miles walking. I used this cart specifically with a Victorinox - Architecture 3.0 Expandable Travel Brief bag with laptop, clothing and miscellaneous stuff slipped over the cart handle, and an Andiamo Valoroso tri-fold garment bag with 2 suits on top of the Victorinox, also attached to the handle using the straps on the back of the garment bag. Using the provided bungees to secure everything there was no slipping or sliding of the luggage at all. As others have pointed out, the fold out base doesn't stay completely flat when standing the cart up with luggage loaded on it because of the weight of the luggage, that that's a trivial problem. So, to stand the cart up the handle will tilt forward a little bit. The wheels are just the right size/diameter, very high quality, smooth rolling and worked great on terminal tile, concrete, and disability truncated domes. No problem on escalators or elevators. The retractible handle was very smooth and the bungees are a perfect length with an adjustment collar to tighten or loosen them as needed. There are 2 large plastic hooks on the ends of the bungees that attach to a bar across the handle to make everything very solid while in use. It folded up in a very nice convenient size that slipped into the back pocket of the Valoroso when loading the bag into the overhead of the A321 airbus. It would also slip under the seat if needed as well. After retrieving the Travelpro, I tuck this cart into the garment bag pocket and put the Victorinox on the add-a-bag j-hook and the garment bag (with dolly) over the handle of the Travelpro. This is a great combination when you have to check a bag. All-on-all this far exceeded my expectations and if/when I wear it out I won't hesitate to replace it with the same thing. Even after the workout I gave this on my recent trip, it shows no signs of wear with the exception that the wheels show very slight wear which is to be expected.

If you fly only occasionally and need something to make getting through the airport easier then this is an excellent solution because it folds up incredibly small and is very light. The main issue with this as mentioned in other reviews is that it will tip forward instead of staying upright if you aren’t holding on to it, but I think that is a side effect of it’s super light weight. It’s also a good idea to have other bungee cords handy to make sure the bag is properly attached to the dolly. While great for an occasional flyer, this would not be something that would work well for someone who travels a lot.

Item is well constructed and most importantly it’s compact.

I'm at a bit of a loss for this review. I gave the cart a 3-star rating but that doesn't really reflect on the quality of the product. It seems to be very well built and like it would hold up well to a lot of use. The problem for me, and what I didn't really "get" from reading reviews before I ordered it is that this cart is large(ish) and heavy(ish). There are larger and heavier carts out there but I expected something a lot smaller and lighter for a cart presented as a "Compact Folding Cart". It is not what I would call compact and it's certainly not something I want to carry onboard an aircraft. I've since found a cart that's only 15" long, 6.5" wide, and 3" thick when folded; it will slip into a backpack. That's my idea of compact. That said, this Samsonite cart has a nice flat platform and looks beefy enough to handle multiple pieces of luggage (or whatever). It really reminds me of a folding hand truck rather than a really compact luggage cart. This is not intended to be a negative review, I think the cart is well made and is a nice piece of equipment...it's just bulky and heavy. Totally worth it if you're dealing with lots of weight and/or lots of luggage but not so welcome if you travel light and are just looking for a very compact and light cart to hold a large carryon when you've got an extra long trek across a large airport. I carry an eBags TLS Mother Lode Weekender Convertible because I generally don't want a wheeled carryon but on long layovers or long airport gate changes it would be nice not to carry it on occasion but then when I want/need to carry it, I want the cart to slip into the TLS Mother Lode bag. That's something the Samsonite cart won't do (at least not without displacing too much space).

I own two of these amazing "luggage carts". I use quotes around luggage carts because it's much more than that. I indeed travel with one that easily fits into my average-sized backpack once I've used it to easily pull all my bags through the airport. Once I arrive at my gate, I fold this baby up and slide it into my carry-on backpack with plenty of space left for any other things I'm taking onboard with me. This is not only convenient, but also protects the cart from being bent or destroyed while buried somewhere beneath all the other luggage in the belly of the plane. It's not a matter of durability, as I've had high-quality sturdy luggage damaged from being tossed around at the airport. I recently purchased a second cart for a completely different reason. I have a really nice tool bag that has pockets and slots for almost all the tools I need when I'm helping out a friend or family member with an electrical or network project. The awesome part is that the bag has a place for all my tools in a single bag. The not-so-awesome part is that IT IS HEAVY. It's not so heavy I can't lift it into my SUV, but far too heavy to just carry around the jobsite every time I move to a different area. So I decided to look into those modular toolboxes that you stack together and pull with a rolling mechanism.. very.. similar.. to this cart. Hmmmm.. The issue I have is that most of the modular systems are nothing more than a plastic box to throw your tools in. They do not include much (if any) organization outside perhaps a few containers and/or dividers. Beyond that... I really like my current bag (minus the weight and mobility of it). Then it dawned on me. Why not just get a second Samsonite cart like the one I travel with and strap my tool bag to it? Well, I'm happy to report it works like a charm. I placed my tool bag on the cart platform and ran the included bungy cords through my bag handles and clipped onto the cart handle. This keeps the bag securely strapped to the cart but also allows me to pick up the bag and cart together using the bag handles. Now I can lift the bag and cart together into my SUV and when I get to my destination, simply lift the bag and cart out of the vehicle and onto the driveway. Extend the cart handle and I'm off. Easily pulling my tool bag up the driveway and into the house. The only thing I've noticed in the airport is if you are walking a little faster than usual with several bags strapped to the cart, it may start to sway a little bit like a boat trailer behind a truck you see swaying on the highway. Perhaps it's because I have it overloaded a bit or a little off center of gravity, but I have noticed it. Not a big deal though. Just slow down for a second and it will stabilize. Leaving home a few minutes earlier than you planned to head to the airport is another way to avoid speed walking through the airport, but that's none of my business. Full disclaimer: I typically fly a couple times a year and do not use this cart as a commercial grade contractor. I cannot say how well this cart would hold up for someone who travels for a living or is a full time contractor. The wheels on this cart seem fine to me, but if you're a commercial contractor who plans to drag your tool bag/box across dirt and gravel and pull it up and down steps all day, I cannot say how durable this cart would be for you. If you're like me and love to travel but can't go as often as you'd like, this cart is a back-saver and travels great. If you have an awesome but heavy tool bag/box that you take to your friend's or parent's house when helping them with a project, this cart is the answer. However, if you are in airports more than you're home or do commercial grade contracting for a living, you may want to consider something a bit sturdier. At this price point though, it may be worth your time and money to give it a try before you spend hundreds of dollars on some modular toolbox with larger wheels you may or may not even need. If you are a frequent traveler (like I hope to be when I retire), you likely already have a roller bag and wouldn't need this cart anyway. Whatever you decide, safe travels. It's 5:00 somewhere...

This seems to be a well made product. So far I have used it several times to transport some heavy boxes and some duffle bags. It is small (which is what I wanted) but there is a trade off in capacity and stability. I found it worked just fine on floors and pavement but it will struggle (as expected) when the going gets rough. Overall I am very happy with this cart and it is just right for my purposes.

This thing is amazing, best purchase I’ve made in a long time. I bought one of those garment bags that zips into a duffel and is a carry-on bag. Great bag (not bought on Amazon), however, once you get your weeks worth of stuff nicely packed it still weighs a significant amount! I was traveling internationally and there was ALOT of walking with that bag through airports! I would have been in so much discomfort carrying that bag. This luggage cart was the perfect solution!

Nice and compact

This trolley is fantastic. It's light, foldable, compact, and attractive. The quality is excellent. When folded, it fits easily into my backpack and is not heavy at all. Whenever my backpack gets too heavy, I simply unfold the trolley and use it to carry everything. It's incredibly useful!

Resistente y práctico. Llevo un año utilizándolo, lo llevo al mandado en condiciones de uso rudo y sigue en buen estado

I bought this lil' beauty to lug my inflatable kayak around public on transit, and it does the trick! The kayak folds down into a duffel bag that *seems* compact and easy to carry, but weighs about 35 pounds and is awkward as heck to transport if you're not using the car. This cart not only makes carrying the bag a breeze, but the cart itself so light that I can toss it on the front of the boat when I'm ready to go on the water! It's very sturdy despite its small size, and I haven't had any issues getting around on uneven surfaces. Well worth the price!
