I'm kind of a freak when it comes to luggage. I collect it, I study what other people use, and instead of counting sheep I imagine luggage swirling around... and around... and around an airport baggage-claim carousel.

Today I came across something new, practical, and affordable: The carry-on Walkin Bag with a Seat (buy direct).

Not only is it a spinner suitcase (my favorite style), it comes with a built-in, lightweight seat. Although a traveling granny would be thrilled to find it under her tree, there's something to be said for couples on honeymoons and other romantic trips buying this suitcase.

Imagine yourselves on a dusty road, waiting for that bus to come... or dealing with an airport flight delay along with a thousand other people... or having to shlep from Terminal 1 to Terminal 100 on that ankle you twisted skiing: This could be the suitcase that guarantees happy endings.
