BlueJan Luggage Cart

I needed a compact luggage cart for my motorcycle T-Bag. This is a very small cart that is especially well made with the exception of the handle which is somewhat flimsy (side to side) when fully extended. The handle is made of very sturdy plastic, but the tolerances of the telescoping is a bit loose causing the side to side movement. The wheels are bulletproof.I really like the design, easy to unfold and fold back up. It is about the size of my 15" Macbook Pro. I'll post an update after my next trip on the durability, but I think it will do just fine, if not abused.Folded it is exactly 17.5" x 9.75". I'll give two widths because most of it (14" worth) is 2" or less wide. The wheels (including the wheel guard) are 3.25" wide. It is really quite small!

Great little Cart. It carried my camera bag at 25lbs most of the time, and at times my glider backpack packed weighing in at 45lbs. It was great through 3.5 months of travel in four different countries, 10 airports, overheads, under seats, subways, buses, trains, steps, steps and more steps, love the grabability for steps. It even went through checked baggage attached to my glider backpack and came out on the other side working fine. Thank you LAX and Gatwick baggage people. It worked well in backpack mode attached to the camera backpack. Made my travel so much easier, and I have been traveling for for 6 month a yr for 8 yrs, and have learned some things about luggage and carriers. I am surprised this little cart did so well this trip and I am planning to use in as many future trips as possible as well as locally. May even buy another to have on hand. Great cart that functioned perfectly and at times above and beyond what it should be required to to do. Very pleased.

I initially purchased a different luggage cart, but I was somewhat disappointed so I ended up ordering this one, too. It was hard to choose between them, largely because they're very similar.The worst "feature" is that the base (platform) of these carts doesn't lock in the open position - I was heartened to hear the "click," but when I tightened the bungee cord to secure my bag, the base folded upwards as other reviewers have noted, Bummer. That was true of both carts. Also, the product information lists a "shipping weight" that is actually the product weight - I had hoped that they weighed somewhat less than the 2.8 - 2.9 pounds listed as shipping weight. But they don't - that's their actual weight.As you can see in the first photo, below, the  Samsonite Luggage Compact Folding Cart, Black, One Size  is quite a bit shorter than the BlueJan (on the left) when they are folded up. When the handles are extended (the second photo), you can see that the BlueJan (on the left) is slightly taller than the Samsonite, but only by about a cm. The third photo shows the bases of the units. (Again, the BluJan is on the left.) The Samsonite's base is somewhat wider than the BlueJan and seems sturdier,The differences:Samsonite (on right in photos):Significantly shorter when collapsed (Photo 1)Base is a little wider and seems sturdierTelescoping handles are slightly shorter when extended (maybe a centimeter shorter)Two cross braces instead of one offers another place to secure luggage to cartA little more stubborn about collapsing the handle (have to fuss with it more)BlueJan (on left in photos):Seems a little sleeker overall, although taller when collapsedTelescoping mechanism works betterThe deciding factor for me was that the Samsonite model fits somewhat better in my carry on duffle, where it will have to go when I board the plane. I like them both, though, and it was hard to choose between them. I think they are both a good value and will perform well.

Product was certainly worth the money! I bought it to help manage a third box (piano keyboard) I’ll be moving along with a carry-on and standard suitcase from airport luggage area to vehicle. The keyboard box is 48” in length so, once situated on the base, I didn’t encounter any problem with the platform base being pulled upwards from the horizontal locked position; I cross-crossed the straps on the front side and hooked each strap-hook onto the vertical, metal extendable “carrier” puller mechanism on the backside. Each of the bungee-type strap cords extend from a relaxed position of 22” to appoxinately 32” stretched (nearly max), with an additional inch or so added by including a seemingly strong, durable plastic hook at the end of each strap. As stated above, this apparatus can be carried easily in a hard shell type carry-on and only weighs 3.5 lbs. Over 70 years old now, I can foresee various other household uses after its served the purpose for which I bought it exclusively for this trip.

This is a great little cart for light to medium sized luggage. I wouldn’t carry a lot of heavy items on this cart. The handle is pretty flimsy. The base is very sturdy however. If they would have made the handle with better, stronger material it would be perfect. It does come with two cords that are attached that have hooks on one end to secure what you are toting. You could put a small animal kennel on, but not heavy animal kennels. This would be great for moving things at the airport or hotel. No rugged terrain for this little guy. It does fold up small enough to fit in a backpack. I bought this to carry a 40 qt. Electric cooler and a couple bags of luggage. But I think it may only support the cooler and a small bag. I’m not worried About what the base can hold, it’s the flimsy telescoping handle I’m worried about.

I purchased this cart because I have a restriction on how much weight I am supposed to lift but I have a heavy backpack that I need to bring with me everyday. My backpack is by Swiss Gear and it features a piece of fabric on the back meant to fit down over a luggage handle. Works like a charm with this sturdy little cart. Love the wheels. Rubber is really durable and I predict they will last a long time. Well balanced too. My full backpack has no problems standing upright by itself when on this cart. I especially like that the wheels could probably be replaced if they ever do wear out as there is access to the bolts unlike some other models I looked at. I am super happy with my purchase.

Excellent cart, light and high quality. The wheels are like skateboard wheels. Very nice.

GOOD

Super light and sturdy. Perfect for what I needed it for.

I wish the wheels can be bigger because when there was a bump, the whole cart always flipped over.
