Need another hand at the airport so you can hold your Auntie Anne's pretzel and your Jamba Juice? Willing to have another hand available at the expense of pulling your suitcase from your butt? Then My Hitch is right for you.

The device clips onto your waistband and provides a hook from which your suitcase handle will hang, leaving your hands open to hold everything you scored from Hudson News — an US Weekly, 8 dollar bottle of SmartWater and Larabar you'll forget about before landing.

My Hitch was designed by Robert Lian, an airline pilot who was tired of pulling his suitcase with his hand. Realizing there were no options for hands-free travel, he decided to create one himself.

Lian says that you can "walk for miles like this," and that it's designed to carry a roller board less than 25 pounds. While using My Hitch, you should either wear pants with a tight waistband or a belt to ensure your pants stay where they're supposed to be.

The contraption makes you look a little bit like a tractor trailer, but it reportedly doesn't hurt your back and successfully completes U-turns.

My Hitch is available for $18. If you're looking for a different "Hitch," the film Hitch starring Will Smith is currently available for $5 on Amazon.
