Step 1
Define your need. You will need a smaller, lighter cart if you are just carrying one bag to the airport; you will need a heavy duty cart if you are carrying several bags at a time.
-
Step 2
Choose thick wheels with treads if you are pulling your luggage a distance, down a street or through snow. Thicker wheels drive better and stop the cart from tipping over.
-
Step 3
Check the length of the handle. Tall people will prefer a longer handle that allows them to pull the cart without bending over or stooping.
-
Step 4
Measure the width of the carrying platform. Then determine how many pieces of luggage fit standing up or lying down.
-
Step 5
Determine the weight. Sturdy wheels and a longer handle can add pounds to the luggage cart. You may want a small, light cart if you have to carry it onto an airplane and store it overhead.
-
Step 6
Pick a luggage cart that folds up for easy storage. Whether you will store it on an airplane or in the trunk of your car, you want a cart that takes up the least amount of space.
-
Step 7
Determine the weight capability of the luggage cart. Know what you will be carrying and make sure your luggage cart can safely carry the load.
