I can’t mom without my Hulken Bag

Not to be dramatic, but my life changed the minute I met Hulken. No shade to the beloved IKEA bag that can fit half my apartment (maybe one day you’ll get your own love letter), but right now, in the midst of parenting, I only have eyes for Hulken. This is the bag on wheels that makes it all possible.

She—yes, of course she’s a bossbabe—is the epitome of supermom strength. Carrying the weight of the world, or just the weight of the family that feels like the world somedays, Hulken moves with ease everywhere from city streets to deep carpet, making schlepping—dare I say—easy. Made with water-resistant, industrial-grade materials and swivel wheels, Hulken is such a chic and hassle free way to haul all your kid’s crap around. She’s strong and durable, folds up for storage with built-in elastic bands to keep everything neat, can hold a ton of stuff, and, like all moms out there, she sparkles. Even the new matte colors have a glint that lets you know Hulken is not like the rest of the girls—err, bags—out there. 

This bag has changed how I haul, which has changed how I parent. You want to bring that life sized panda stuffy for one night to Grandma’s? Sure, throw it in the Hulken. My 10 year old needs an entire case of Gatorade for a half-day soccer tournament? Sure, throw it in the Hulken. I finally get to say yes to all their pack-rat dreams without sacrificing my sanity—or my back—because the Hulken can handle it all.

No more balancing 27 bags on my shoulder while I try to carry downhill skis and my coffee on winter mornings. Load up the Hulken as much as you want, grab her by the top handles, and let her glide next to you—no worries if the ski poles are sticking out the top. I’m not sure what her magic wheels are made of, but it honestly feels like this bag is floating on a cloud. My boys love using the single long handle to pull Hulken behind them. But, the top handles make it so easy to walk naturally with the bag at my side—even when it’s filled with my latest Costco haul (we all know how intense those can get).

As a New York City mom, the Hulken is my everything schlepping bag: laundry, sports gear, groceries, weekend trips—you name it. I even fit eight large coffee carafes, filled with hot cocoa for a school fundraiser, and rolled those babies down the sidewalk with ease thanks to Hulken. I’m so co-dependent on it now that I unload the car straight into the Hulken and wheel it into the kitchen for weekly grocery hauls.

Why haul individual bags inside anymore?

Seriously, the Hulken bags are so good that I can’t wait to give the medium and large size to my niece for her graduation, they will be so useful in college! And it’s also a gift for my 80 year old mom for Mother’s Day.

I’ve officially donated my folding wagon for hauling and rely solely on my Hulken.

It may not do the parenting, but Hulken sure makes carrying the weight of parenting a whole lot easier.
