Great product!,
September 25, 2008
By GoHokiesfrom Peoria, AZ
Pros: Very large, easy to load, easy to attach to vehicle, didn't scratch/damage rooftop, easy to store Cons: Fit my Yukon XL but might not fit well on smaller SUVs
"We have 4 kids and a Yukon XL. Last year we had to take 2 vehicles on vacation so that we could fit everything. This was the largest carrier we could find and it was perfect. We fit 5 duffle bags, 2 backpacks, a large collapsible canopy, 3 collapsible chairs, 3 pressure gates (like the ones you would use to close off a room from kids or pets), 3 collapsible kid play pens, and probably something else I'm forgetting. All of that fit and there was still room for more. The nice thing is that no matter how much you put in (a lot or a little), it all gets secured when you attach it to your rooftop. The bottom of the carrier had a material on it that prevents sliding and scratching the rooftop. It was extremely easy to attach to the side rails of the roof rack (you do not need the crossbars). It also came with clips to attach it to the door frame, I think, but you don't need to use them if you have a roof rack. Storage is easy because if folds up and fits in a small box (maybe 2'x1'x1'). Much easier to store than the hard cases. The only negative I could think of is that it might not fit on a smaller SUV. The width of the carrier was just perfect for the Yukon XL. If the vehicle was any smaller (specifically, more narrow), it would have rested on the side rails, making it difficult, but not impossible, to attach the carrier to the roof rack. Overall I would say this is a great product for a very low price. We would've paid much more in gas if we had to take 2 vehicles or if we had to rent a van or trailer."

"This product was a great find and at a great price. Once we figured out how to install (no instructions included), it was easy to attach to my 2005 Kia Sorento and easy to load and unload. I researched other similar products which were well over $150 each. This was priced really economically and survived our drive through rain and sleet."

"This auto backpack is extremely well made for it's $29.00 price. The only problem I had was the lack of installation instructions. I suppose I could figure out how to install it, however I would hate to have this fly off my SUV because I installed it incorrectly."
