eBags Mother Lode TLS Mini…this Mom’s traveling choice!

This Mother’s Day, acknowledging a Mom’s need to own a handy-dandy, reliable, sleek, practical travel companion bag,  Bags by eBags has rounded up the best Mom’s picks in their ‘must-check-out’ “Mom’s the Word” Gift Guide.

These are items for Moms, tested and tried by Moms and given that stamp of approval by Moms!

I, personally, have always struggled with the need to pack my home in a compact but sturdy bag when I travel.

For me pockets, stash away compartments and space savers in a bag are a big deal. So when a bag like eBags Mother Lode TLS Mini 21″ Wheeled Duffel comes across my path, I know its a keeper!

MSRP: 240 US$. eBags promotional price: 161.49 US$

.
This 21.5″ x 15″ x 9″ carry-on bag has all the “bells and whistles” a traveler needs.

You can unzip the bag all the way around if you plan to add volume to the bag, else you can leave the same zipped in to keep the contents compact and in place.

.

I also love that this is an easy to maneuver bag even if its packed to the brim. The pull along handle is adjustable in height  {45.5″, 42.5″, 40.5″} and the bag rolls smoothly, without squeaky groans! {I’m one to pack my bags till the seams burst and have had to lug a heavy carry-on bag just because it would refuse to budge or would squeak the patience out of the people around!! This is such  breath of fresh air.}

The bag also has a side strap handle and one on the top to allow for easy transfer, say from the floor to a conveyor belt or into the overhead cabin compartment.

.

.

And if you’re like me and prefer to stash away my belongings in dedicated compartments then the mesh compartments, zippered pocket segments and inner flaps will make this that bag you’ve been longing to own for a good long while!

The bag’s designers have really gone to town with the various packing, segmenting alternatives you can have with the attach/detach or flap over dividers.

.

.

I’m thrilled to carry this along later when I travel to Atlanta as I foresee practical convenience and ease in travel with all I need packed in a bag that will hold fort all the way to my destination and back.

Plus I won’t have to go crazy hunting for what I need in one big mixed up pile, everything will have its own place of residence in one of the many pockets/compartments.

.

.

With the crazy prices you need to pay for check-in bags, it definitely makes more sense to invest in a carry-on you can trust…

yup, like my traveling choice, the eBags Mother Lode TLS Mini !
