Strangely brilliant: the world’s first inflatable Roof Rack It is an immensely strong, convenient and totally safe product which complies with ISO/DIS11154-1E. It comes in its own small carrying pouch, about the size of a toaster. It blows up in seconds (using the free pump supplied in the kit), can take up to 80kg of weight and can be fitted to just about any four door car.

To put that in some sort of perspective the HandiRack laughs in the face of four or more surf boards. Windsurfers and skis are a breeze. Ikea flat pack wardrobes can be neatly secured to the HandiRack with the supplied straps in approximately 17 hours less time than it takes to build the actual wardrobe.

Family camping tents may be able to solve this problem for you as all of them come with more than one room. In fact, depending on the model of tent you choose, some even have four individual rooms. The great thing about having more than one room is getting some much needed away time, a place where the children can be together to play or rest, a place to read and just relax while still being part of the same overall family tent.
