Re: So how do you carry it all? doubling down on rollaboard.

[Guest guest]

I think NYC IBCLCs should become luggage testers. I actually don't buy cheap

luggage because it falls apart. If I buy the expensive luggage, they will

routinely replace wheels. I take the subway or, when necessary, the bus. I

also walk longer distances to avoid going up and down too many staircases at

some subway stops. I have two rollaboards in case a wheel breaks (inevitably

when it is snowing or raining) so I can use the other piece of luggage when the

wheels need replacing. I have now found a 22 inch suitcase that perfectly fits

my scale when I take the tray off. I wrap the base of the scale in bubble wrap.

I don't take much because I really don't like selling anything. Just

inexpensive stuff like nipple shields, syringes, tubes and tape. I always rig

up a Jack Newman's style bottle and then tell parents which type of permanent

device to buy if they like using the tube on the breast. Seriously, the wheels

on my rollaboards probable get as much use as the wheels on cars.
