Zuca Bags really are about Fashion, Function and Fun

As an urban gal, I usually walk to the grocery store and have to schlep my stuff back in a grocery cart. I resisted buying a grocery cart for a long time, mostly due to its association with little old ladies. I’ve also tried loading heavy items on a luggage carrier, only to have to stop several times to rebalance what seems to be an ever shifting load.

My uncle told me about what looked like a portable case on wheels. Larger than a backpack, this easily holds a day’s worth of books for anyone on campus. I’ve been intrigued by Zuca bags, and I finally ordered one. When it came I promptly put the bag in the frame and had fun rolling it back and forth on my hardwood floors. Zuca bags have four wheels all on the side closest to where you are rolling. The two wheels that contact the ground sparkle and flash while you walk, and gives the bag a fun appearance.

I am unfortunately used to drivers who are usually so impatient at Stop Signs that they want to barrel through the intersection while people are still walking. I’m not a particularly slow walker, even while pulling something behind me, so I have never looked kindly at those who are sitting comfortably in a car when it comes to giving the right of way to a pedestrian crossing legally. As a Chicagoan, I have to admit I was impressed at how this seemed to change while pulling my Zuca. Apparently drivers found themselves looking at the sparkling wheels and it gave them something to do besides wanting to blow through a Stop Sign.

Besides that charm of the wheels, I found the Zuca Bag one of the best rolling portable storage items, ever. Although the wheels are smaller than those on my grocery cart, the materials which they are made for results in a very easy, gliding roll. The trip home was far more easier on my shoulders and arms than when I've used a shopping buggy, which ergonomically should be easier since the cart is pushed in front (four wheels).  The wheels on the Zuca provide a much easier roll and my shoulders didn't feel the standard strain from pulling heavy items for long distances.  For an added bonus, bringing it up to the second floor of the three flat that I live in was astonishingly easier than anything else I’ve used thanks to that second set of wheels. Instead of pulling the cart up each stairs they rolled up.  My only regret with my Zuca bag is that I didn't  get one earlier! You can find out more about Zuca bags by going to their website.
