Amira Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I need a new rolling tote for carrying groceries and library books. I've always used one of those square collapsible rolling carts and they work great, but I was looking at Zuca bags today and was wondering if getting one might be a good idea since it's also good for traveling. I'm sure it would be good for the library, but what about for groceries? I'd generally be carrying a few gallons of milk and lots of produce. Also, is it really worth the extra expense? It looks like it would be great to use as a carryon when we're flying. And is it really sturdy? Ideally, I'd like to use it overseas too and the terrain is likely to be a lot rougher. If you have any opinions about Zuca bags, I'd love to hear them, or if you have another idea, let me know. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnIslandGirl Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 We love Zuca bags! Originally my dd9 got one to use as her bag for figure skating, but once I saw how wonderfully constructed they were, I grabbed a few more for library bags as well as for picnics and beach/ park outings. I love that they double as seats as well. We have 2 black and 2 white frames, and periodically order new inserts to match with the seasons and holidays. Dd9 likes the wheels that flash when you roll them. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd definitely use that while waiting in lines at the airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LMA Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 They can hold most anything. We use them only for figure skating. However, they don't fit in the carry-on compartments of airplanes. Only the Flyer model can be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 How come I've never seen these bags before? They are lovely!! I've been looking for something that my DS can use for dance competitions. Everyone who makes dance bags makes them girly or in black. He wants something with style, and these look perfect! I'll have to give this some thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnionJack Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I haven't seen these before either! They look really neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi K Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 The only downside is when you offer to carpool several figure skaters, and while 5 kids will fit in your car, five Zucas generally don't! :driving: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Χά�ων Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 DS saw the girls at the rink with them and wanted one but could not get his speed skates in them. I am not too sad about it because I feel they are really expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tammi K Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Just be careful when you order. The figure skating/sport bags ARE NOT sized for air travel. Zuca makes bags that can be used as carry-ons but the sport bags are too large. The company's customer service is great! They are friendly and helpful. And the bags are strong and sturdy. But, one word of warning. The frame being strong and sturdy is brutal on shins. DD turned hers as she was going through a door and I walked into it. That was months ago and my shin is still sore!
