LUGBuddy

I can't tell you how frustrating it is to repeatedly have to stop on my progress through airports to reposition my tote full of newspapers and magazines when it falls to the side of my rolling bag and unbalances the whole shebang.

This should put paid to that.

From the website:

LUGBuddy™ — Secure items together, get to the gate faster

Attach the durable, stretchy bungee cords to the handle of your rolling carry-on, then pull the bungee over the bag, briefcase or coat you want to ride "piggy back" and tighten with the cord lock.

Voila — items are secured together, so no more toppling luggage as you run for your connection.

Small, lightweight, easy to stow.

This device intrigued me the moment I saw it but it took me a while to figure out exactly how it works.

They don't call me TechnoDolt™ for nothing.

See, the way it works is you put the elastic part over the extended rolling bag handle, with the long hard tubular piece over the rolling bag itself.

Then you put the second bag on top of the first, then pull the handle over the top of the second bag and extended handle, then tighten with the bungee cord lock.

Sure, it's obvious once you know how — but so are most things.
