Abstract: A rugged suitcase and child carrier combination. The shell comprises a top half and bottom half each defining a hollow cavity. A foldable seat assembly is suspended in an opening defined by open halves of the shell, and various paraphernalia such as toys, bottles, entertainment devices, blankets, clothing, and food stuffs, among others, may be stowed in the hollow cavity defined by either of the top and bottom halves of the hinged shell. A plurality of wheels may be disposed on the bottom half of the device, and a telescoping handle may be disposed on an upper end of the top half of the shell to enable steering the device. The entire combination may be securably collapsed so that the seat assembly, as well as any stowed paraphernalia, is fully and securely encapsulated within the shell which may optionally be conveyed as a rolling suitcase.
