Planning on spending some quality time in the car this summer, listening to your children ask “Are we there yet?” For extra storage on your travels, you might want to check out today’s Sears Real Deal—it’s a Thule Quest soft-sided car-top carrier for just $55 (and you can pick it up at your local Sears for free, if you don’t want to pay for shipping).
For comparison purposes and reviews, take a look at the same carrier at Amazon; great reviews overall, and a regular price of about $81.
We have a carrier like this (not a Thule, though, unfortunately) and I’m always amazed at how much use it gets. Apparently we have a lot of stuff to tote around. Also, it’s handy when the kids misbehave. (Not really.)
After driving through pouring rain, we arrived at our campsite to find that there were several inches of water in the bottom of our soft carrier, and the sleeping bags were sitting in it… Now we have a hard carrier.
I knew to put everything else in trash bags, but the stuff sacks were waterproof — except for the opening that the water came up to .
