 Ripped the first time we used it June 30, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The carrier ripped (a huge rip) the first time we used it. It was a huge pain, b/c we got all of our stuff to our destination but had no way to get it back!
I'm going to try to return it. I regret this purchase and would give it zero stars if I could.
 Great Travel Pack June 26, 2008
We bought this car carrier based on Amazon reviews. It worked great we traveled over 1800 miles and didn't have it completely full, but were able to add to it as we went along and adjust the straps accordingly. The only negative mark was that the excess straps would get loose and flap in the wind and that was annoying, but it could be fixed easily with some safety pins or something similar. We only have the standard roof rack with no cross bars and that was fine, bought an additional strap to wrench it down, but didn't need it. We did not hit any rain so don't know how it will do for water resistance yet. Worth buying, it will be easy to store and will work great for short trips where we need the extra space.
 Worked great for us June 22, 2008
We just took this on vacation with us to Myrtle Beach from Ohio. It rained the entired time on the drive down. Our stuff did not get wet at all. We even had the zipper towards the front for easier access and everything still stayed dry. (Through some tough rain too). We added an extra bungy cord help keep anything from flapping but I would definitley recommend this, especially for the $$.
Waterproof...until shredded June 7, 2008

I bought this for a trip my wife was taking to Yellowstone this spring. It is big, and held our stroller, some luggage, and still had room for misc. stuff. Beware, there is no rigidity to it, and you have to stuff it like a garbage bag.
The biggest problem was the quality. When my wife got back from her trip we found the carrier was shredded, and thread bare in many places. Everything in the carrier was wet.
I wouldn't recommend this product for anyone who drives over 30mph.
Terrific Value! May 29, 2008

We selected this carrier after researching both soft-sided and hard-sided carriers. It held a lot of luggage - 5 suitcases, ranging from medium to large. It stayed securely on top of our Excursion. We did purchase and use extra straps. I wanted to get a hard carrier, being somewhat skeptical about how "waterproof" it would be. We ended up with this one because we wanted to spend more money on our vacation, not on the carrier. This product exceeded our expectations. It is roomier than the hard ones,lighter weight, and of very durable material. I can also confirm that it was COMPLETELY waterproof, as we drove from Pennsylvania to Florida on Mother's Day through extremely heavy rains most of the trip. The suitcases were completely dry, no dampness at all. If you need even more space, 2 of them would fit on top of the larger SUV's. We also purchased a small keylock to make it secure. You might consider buying rust-proof large safety pins to keep the straps from blowing about. We did or the noise would have been irritating! I have never taken the time to review a product before, but this was one worth speaking up about.
