Awesome bag!
I am a nursing student and was trying to find a bag sturdy enough to lug around 500 lbs worth of books (maybe a slight exaggeration), had to be on wheels, and have big enough compartments for books, laptop, etc. I had a swiss army bag that I used the first week. It was a nice bag but I couldn't bring more than one book with me because the zippered compartments weren't big enough to fit more than one 3" thick book. When I came across this bag here on Amazon, I thought, "what the heck, it's inexpensive. And if it didn't work out for school, I am sure I could use it for something else." Well let me tell you, I have been using it for the past two months and LOVE it! I can stand up 4+ books, 2" binder, and my laptop in there! It has a roomy pocket on the front that I use for the little things (pens, pencils, highlighters), my car keys, name badge, etc. It has two mesh pockets, one on each side which are great for water bottles. The bag is relatively tall, so even with all those books, I still have room to sit my lunch bag and a sweatshirt on top. The wheels roll smoothly, and it also has grab handles on top which make it a little easier to lift up. I usually grab one handle and the plastic bar across the bottom to hoist it into the back of my SUV. The bag is a heavy duty canvas like material, and is holding up very well. After two uses for school books my swiss army zipper was separating on the old bag. Even if this bag doesn't last thru all the remaining semesters, it is inexpensive enough that I can buy another! The only things I would change about this bag is to make the telescoping handle maybe 2-3 inches longer, and put more rugged wheels, sorta like cooler tires. I have a bag like cart for work that has 3 1/2 in wheels, makes it easier over the grass and across bumpy parking lots. Anyway, you won't regret this bag, and if you are a nursing student, trust me, this bag will become your best friend! Two students went and ordered them during class after seeing mine the first day of use!
Sturdy Shopping Tote
My rolling backpack died in the storm of the century and I have been forced to find a new one. Well, I did but the replacement turned out to be less than ideal. I needed to find something that I could use to haul stuff to and from work but also to use as a shopping bag/cart. So, a stroll through Amazon was in order. The Western Pack Rolling Shopping Tote kept popping up using a variety of searches. The tote arrived last week--in less than 2 days, I might add, and today was it's maiden voyage. Wow!
The tote is very sturdy. The wheels are large and strong enough to haul several pounds. My bus stop is about one mile from my apartment. I was very impressed with the stability of the tote while I was crossing a very beat up road--who knows when it was last paved. My trip home was when I really became impressed as I had to make a couple of stops along the way to do some, um, shopping. Not everything fit inside the tote, certainly not the tote's fault. I zipped the top closed and set the remaining package on top. I had loaded between 15 and 20 lbs of stuff into and onto the tote. The package set on top of the tote stayed on top of the tote the remaining three-quarter mile hike home. That's how stable this tote is. That is impressive.
Add to the tote's stability the fact that it is not a bad looking bag, and you have yourself a great deal. By the by, the price was excellent. Would I recommend this tote? In a heart beat. Will I buy a second one? Most definitely.
