Danger of wheelie bags

[Mary Jo Cochran]

I got a cheap wheelie bag from Wal-Mart.  Cheap wheels though.  I put it on an old wheelie cart to move better - but a few weeks ago it fell apart.  So I just used the wheelie bag with its cheap wheels.

I tend to move fast.  I fell. I didn't fall a little,  I went flying.  I figured it was a fluke.  Friday I fell again.  Em, I better slow down walking.  Today, I fell again.  And again, I went flying - not cool for 55 in a dress. 

This time, it was obvious.  I was walking at a slower pace.  When I got up I looked at the spot, the wheelie wheels hit a hump - and refused to move.  Keep that in mind, the quality of your wheelie wheels.

I've had this since 2006 and it's going strong:

That's a nice cart.  I will buy that.  Cheap insurance against breaking a hip (which hurts) and destoying my teeth).  Thanks for sharing.  My hands are scruffed up too.

I closed up the bottom half of the "telescoping handle" with heavy duty clear packing tape.  This means that (1) I can put my purse and other things on top of my stuff and it won't fall through the space and (2) I cannot fold it.  So I put it in the back seat of my car with the platform folded up and that's it.
