Travel (Trunk) bag set - useful or not?

[slmorgan42]

Do you happen to have a picture of how you arranged them? I might even drive to the local store to get 6 of them

I don't have one handy but I just put them in long ways running along the vehicle. So you see the short side when looking in the trunk. I cannot remember if you get 3 or 4 in a row. In the MG5 I used to get 4 but cannot remember what the MG4 gets.

They also fit perfect on my roof box if I am forced to take that.

I like them as they are soft so if they are not full they squish down easy to make more room. They pack up small when not used and with the full length zipper easy to get stuff out.

I also have hard luggage but I find these a pain as you always have space between them and they never stack quite right.

Well, i got some time and went to IKEA. Here are some preliminary tests, i ended up getting the green ones home, will fill them up properly, but they seem to fit better in various directions.

Thanks for this alternative, hope the WAF is high enough

Got to love a bit of ikea. Looking at your pics I think I twist the blue naga 90 degrees so they fit better. But been awhile. My next trip is back to Dieppe in Aug to visit family so I will check then.

Other great thing about these bags is they weigh nothing.

As for waf that may be low but just remind her she can squeeze more in the cars as the bags sit square against each other lol

Final test done, it fits 3 bags in several orientations, with the floor in the bottom position. I read somewehere that the floor can also be left at home for extra 5 cm depth or the 2 corner blocks removed, etc. but so far this is a great alternative.

I would still think of a sturdier option if mixing modes of transport, but car to hotel and back seems solved.

In case someone wants to try this:
GÖRSNYGG
Bag, blue, 40x30x60 cm/72 l

with 3 bags you get theoretical 216 litres

Look perfect.

And I agree if I was doing mix mode eg car and plane I would go for real luggage rather than ikea

I am curious about the storage thing you have attached to the back of the back seats. Do you have a link to where you go that?
