For parents
Move-in day, in three trips — not thirty.
You've got one car, one elevator line, and a few hours before orientation. Here's how families use CasaBella bags to keep the day calm.
02
Load the car, soft-side first
Soft bags squeeze around the mini-fridge and lamp. The fully open top means nothing gets buried.
03
Carry up, unpack, fold flat
Wrap-around handles for the stairs or the elevator line. Empty bags fold to 10 × 7.1″ and slide into a drawer or closet.
Carrying tip: for stairs, pack lighter (bedding and clothes) and lift with both handles together. Bags are designed to support over 50 lb, but lighter is easier on move-in day. TODO: 50 lb is design guidance, not a finished lab report.

College move-in FAQ
Parents ask us.
A packed bag is 27″ × 14″ × 15″, so it needs at least 15″ of clearance. Many residence halls offer adjustable or loftable beds — check your student's housing page and measure before move-in. TODO · to verify
