^Yes, and for pushing your wheelchair when you are decrepit, or at the least keeping the batteries charged .
I've instituted the same policy re:carry-ons! My children are 5, 7, and 9, and they use their school rolling backpacks as carry-ons. I've taught them to put their essentials into a smaller nylon knapsack which then goes into the backpack, so that if they ever have to stow away their backpacks, they at least have access to their essentials. I am absolutely obsessed with optimal packing, which is at the root of my luggage obsession, and which I've been told is my attempt to maintain control -- I think it's genetic, as we used to mock my father for being meticulous about storing things in small boxes, which were then placed with similar boxes in larger boxes, which were then so effectively stored away that they were never seen again. My children already show signs of similar tendencies...

They also have their own little pillows and blankets for commercial flights, as I have a phobia about those filthy airline blankets, yuck.

I am the same with travel pillows and blankets for my kids, too.

And why do I have this vision of mama quizvan with 3 mini quizvans all in line behind her....each with a successively smaller version of a Pegase in tow!!

LOL, what a funny image! -- sort of a Russian-nesting-doll-esque "Make Way for Ducklings"...

Sounds as if you and I also keep the Purell-makers in profit.
