Giveaway: Air-Porter Makes Toting Luggage Easy

If you’re loaded down with luggage, juggling a car seat, multiple bags, sporting equipment, laptop case, and a briefcase, you’ve no doubt dropped a few items. Probably dropped many items, many times.
The Air-Porter allows you to keep all those items from shifting about, getting your from your car to check in, and even to the departure gate, using one hand for your bags and keeping the other hand free.
This system of bungee straps is adjustable and fits on any roller suit case, whether it’s a large checked bag or a small carry on. Starting with your largest bag, you put on the adjustable Air-Porter to piggy-back items on that largest bag. It’s designed to keep stacked items stable, and to distribute the weight so that it’s easy to roll. The straps are lightweight, so once you’ve finished using them, they’ll easily toss in your carry on bag for use at the other end of your journey.
And perhaps best of all, you don’t have to be an engineer to figure out how to use the Air-Porter. It’s just a series of four buckles that are easily clasped.
This is perfect for parents traveling with a car seat along with other bags. You can take everything you need in one hand, and have your child’s hand in the other.
You can order the Air-Porter online for $75. Additional bungees are $10.

I travel alot and could use this
This should come in handy on our Disney trip.
Sounds like a great idea!
A reprieve for my flamingo pink Samsonite luggage!
The Air-porter would be wonderful to transport all the things that twins need on a trip to see family. I’m sure it would be handy outside of the airport, too. Thanks!
This would handy taking the little grankids on trips
Whenever we travel, my husband refuses to check bags, especially now that the airlines charge extra. That leaves us with two carry-on bags, my purse, my husband usually carries a tote with the camera in it, plus any coats, and it starts to get cumbersome. When we’re not traveling, we could still use the air porter to carry supplies to meetings and family events. I’m really impressed with the photos and how much this thing can hold!
My husband and I travel a lot…this would be great!
No matter how carefully I pack, or how many bags I have, I always seem to be toting way too much in my hands. This would help me organize everything and manage everything so much easier. Thanks for this great chance.
The Air-Porter would make my travel so much easier if I had one.
Where were you when I struggled all last summer?
This would be great for my family when we travel
please enter me in this great contest thanks
I have a bad back and should not be constantly bending to pick up fallen items. It looks like I could secure all of my luggage into a single unit with the handle high enough to not have to stoop or bend as I make my way through the airport. Tired of struggling! Help me keep my back pain managed on vacation!
I hate traveling with more than one bag just because it is so hard to handle everything. This would make it so much easier.
This would just make everything easier, getting the bags through the airport. Or even when you drive to a hotel and need to drag everything in. do it in one trip.
I am going on a trip in May and this would be perfect. Thanks for the contest and have a great day!
Would be just grand for any trip so Im entering in hopes of winning. Thanks!
I am flying for the first time this spring to attend my son’s wedding in the Caribbean, and have no luggage! Winning this would be a joy!
Well we are going on a transatlantic cruise next year, and will be hitting many airports from barcelona back to the midwest, so I can surely see us using this!
The Air-Porter would come in handy for me because I often travel with my 92 year young mother. I have to carry her stuff as well as my own. This would make travel so much simpler and would save my sanity – what’s left of it! Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
This would come in handy when we bring the kid with us, they always bring lots of little things with them
The Air-Porter would help me out because I
have to travel alot for business and this would
hold a ton of items and get me more organized
for my tasks.Thanks for the giveaway
I would love it.
I have a bad back & this would help a great deal.
This would be great. No more hauling three suit cases at one time by hand.
This would help me a lot since I can’t physically carry a lot.
This would be great when traveling with kids. Also, I have had the experience of having someone try to snag one of my bags when I have had everything sitting on the ground. This would help deter than since it would all be together.
This would be great!
