Anyone else have problem pulling suitcases when going on holiday? my arms are fixed at 90% and I have to push my case like a shopping trolley in front of me, which is hard work, there has to be an easier way.... any suggestions, anyone know of any aids? Many thanks in advance. I am taking my mum away fro mothers day, and am fed up of having her carrying all the luggage, she was 6 foot 2 before, now shes been that weighed down she's 4 foot 11, only joking, she is 4 foot 11 and a pensioner, I would like to help her a bit more, so any suggestions gladly accepted.

    Hi Luckybug

    Nice that you're going away with your mum, hope you have a good time you deserve a break :)

    Have you thought of one of those shopping trolley things instead of a suitcase. I know you can get them with seats too. Not pretty but might work.

    Love

    It has to be something that goes on a case or bag i could pull, as it has to fit on the plane inside, as I paid to check in online so I'm not having to queue up for check in... I'm trying out belts at the moment seeing if I can attach one, so I can make a loop and put my arm through, I'll work it out, but if there are any special gadgets anyone knows of, let me know. ta...xxx
