Which "travel" bag?

[KKB]

I personally find the Navigator to be much sturdier than the XXL. And easier to lift/manuever.
The gal whose friends had problems...the wheel problem sounds defective.
The handle issue--it does slide out, so may just pop back in. Hopefully she wasn't using the handle to lift into car. It couldn't take it. Thats what side handles are for.
I just sold hundreds of CIS products at my store w/ VERY few defects. And CIS always took them back!

KKB, no it wasn't the Navigator that we were talking about - it's a Joann's brand. It's gotten so-so reviews. But that's good to know about the Navigator - that's the other one I was looking at. I just started and think the XXL will be too big for me... for now, lol!

I got my Navigator for $45.00. I used a Joann's coupon. (it was a 50% off coupon, remember when Joann's always sent 50% coupons....)

I use several of the MM cases to organize my smaller tools. #1 for the 1st 6 punches. #2 for more punches and random things. #3 for the CCS shapes.

My dh bought me the Crop Hopper XXL a couple of years ago. Of course, he had no idea how much they should cost and paid about twice what I would have!! The CH XXL is very heavy when loaded. I have so much "stuff" that I think I would be better served by the smaller backpack and separate storage systems designed for each item (i.e., storage for stamps, folders for templates, trays for paper) My biggest problem is space. We had to use my scrapbooking space for our (surprise!!!) 3rd child.

Ok, I just measured my na navigator
navigator 19" high (including wheels and handle)
17" long (not including side pockets - my side pockets are crammed full and measure 22")
14" wide (including side zip pouch that is also full of stuff)

Another option is the Crop in style Jr Tote it doesn't have wheels and is a little smaller
JR TOTE measures 14" high
17" long (not including the side pockets with side pockets full
of goodie 22")
10" wide (this is not crammed full probably could be another 1" or 2" with more stuff)


Can you understand this? sometimes I babble Let me know what you decide and what can be used as a carryon. (for me for next year)
