The only question we have left to ask - is why didn't we think of this sooner?

Other crazy, cool and well, no brainer, luggage ideas include the ShelfPack - a suitcase with built-in, stackable shelves. Designed as a checked baggage item (not for carry-on), this new travel innovation features four built-in, pull-out and collapsible shelves aimed at that travellers who want easy-to-find, wrinkle-free clothes on their trips.

Then there is the Bluesmart - a suitcase synced to an app on your smartphone, allowing it to lock, weigh and track itself. Bluesmart also includes a powerful battery charger that can charge your phone six times over and charge up to two devices simultaneously.

One Chicago-based entrepreneur introduced a suitcase that could be converted into a chair. The four-wheeled suitcase by neXstep luggage comes with a pull-out handle that can be detached and unfolded into a backless chair.

The City Cab, a motorised suitcase that doubles a scooter, which surfaced last year, is a three-wheeled electrical suitcase, fitted with a steering grip, brakes, safety lights, a horn, a GPS device and a theft alarm, carries up to two passengers, seated on its side, travelling up to a speed of about 20 km per hour and a maximum distance of about 60km.
