Name the Item

[EricH]

Here's a game idea. Someone describes an item--anything readily available will do, including past robots. The next person takes a guess at what the item is and posts the next item's description.

Description rules are similar to the ones in Catchphrase (for those that have played this game at some point).

1. You may not use the item you are describing in your description.

2. You should keep the description as short as possible.

3. If no one guesses it after 24 hours, please post another hint.

4. The describer is responsible for giving the correct answer if someone is wrong.

I'll start.
This handy item is used by schoolkids to carry books and by campers to carry supplies. It is not a car. It is usually made of some sort of fabric.
