Which is Better: A bag with wheels, or a luggage cart?

I have used both and I vote for a luggage cart. But I do not completely rule out a bag with wheels. If you are going on an overnighter and only need one bag – a bag with wheels seems like it would be the most efficient choice, and for some, it actually is. But my personal preference, even in this situation, is to put that bag with wheels on a luggage cart and here is why.

We very rarely, if ever, actually go anywhere with only one bag. There are always other little things that you "just have to have." Consider your brief case full of necessary papers. You suddenly now have two bags. That would be two bags for a man, and possibly three for a woman who often carries a purse, too. Do you ever take along a little lunch in the car or on the train? Ever carry a sweater for the unexpected blasts of cold air on a plane? That could now be three or four separate items you are taking along with your "one bag." That is getting to be a lot to "juggle and struggle" with while you are away from home on your own.

And anyone might want to have their laptop with them on the trip. There is business to take care of, people to communicate with, and stuff to do on your laptop that needs to get done. We're now up to four or five items. The best way to tote all that stuff is on a sturdy well-made luggage cart. You can stack it up, fasten it on, and completely eliminate the "juggle and struggle" associated with hauling many small items with you at once.

And don't forget those items you are going to purchase and bring back with you. They might fit in the bag. Or they might not. If you've got a luggage cart, it doesn't matter. It will very likely all fit on the cart with ease.

Are there any other reasons that you might need both a bag with wheels and a luggage cart, too? Why yes. If you happen to be one of those people who is always running late and in a rush, I highly recommend that you put that bag with it's tiny little wheels on a luggage cart with big wheels so you can run faster with less drag on your arm, and go around corners, over curbs and up and down stairs without having to actually stop and pick up the bag with wheels.

The whole reason behind a bag with wheels is SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO PICK THE BAG UP AND STRAIN YOUR BACK! You'd like to just roll it along behind you, but every time you come to an obstacle you have to determine whether you need to pick up the bag, or if it can make it through. A luggage cart with big wheels actually can be rolled over curbs, and up and down stairs without having to pick your stuff up and lug it. You'll very likely scratch or dent your bag with tiny wheels on curbs and stairs because it wasn't made for that kind of a very common obstacle – but a luggage cart with big wheels has been engineered for that purpose. You have more leverage and turning capacity with the large six-inch wheels of a luggage cart.

The big wheels of a luggage cart give you the speed you need to both hurry along and maneuver the course. Check it out for yourself and you will see the big difference it makes. And if your luggage cart has been purchased from http://www.bestluggagecarts.com it will also have steel ball bearings for a whisper quite ride, sturdy steel construction with aluminum telescoping handles and a limited lifetime warranty.

So, in what situation do I recommend using the bag with wheels? When you are in your hotel room. As you take it off your cart you can still wheel it around that nice flat floor which is what those tiny wheels are actually good for. And you can take it with you into the bath room. And you can wheel it into the closet and out of sight right next to your luggage cart. Then in the morning you can load it all back up on the luggage cart and be on your busy fun filled way.

In my estimation, a bag with wheels is meant for the room, but a luggage cart is meant for the world. Happy Traveling!
