Swany's Walkin' Bag ZipCart holds something really important — you.
A retractable seat on the back of the four-wheeled rolling bag opens to become an instant chair, with the bag and extended handle as a backrest. The chair, which sits about 14 inches off the ground when open, can hold up to 300 pounds.
If you won't be needing the wheels or seat, detach the lightweight 22-by-12-by 8-inch nylon bag and carry the main bag by itself, leaving the rest behind. The bag has a large main compartment and an expandable side pocket for an umbrella or water bottle.
