I have one of these. I actually took it along to the car showroom when buying new car - I did get some looks!

There are pros and cons. I use it in the boot, by the way (a Fiat Panda that has slideable rear seats, with the seats forward as far as they'll go, and it fits fine. It also fits in the back seat (4 door car) for when the boot is full of feed buckets.

The drawbacks - the main one is that I have a dressage saddle, and the long girth straps trail a bit and can get dirty and caught in doors etc. If I use it in the car, I need to wedge it between front and rear seats, as if I put it sideways the saddle slides off as I go around corners!

Apart from that, it's great - and my hat, gloves, bridle etc. go in the space underneath.
It is very light - so how easy it is to cart around depends on how heavy your saddle (and the junk that accumulates in the storage bit) is

I use one and rate it!

I used to have one and found it very useful! I'd definitely get another in the future.

pain in the backside to use in the car as saddle tends to slip sideways as you corner. Handy for at home though

I love mine fits in the boot of my punto fine and if it has to go in the back seat a seat belt stops the saddle slipping

I stuck Velcro on mine (the soft side) to stop slippage.
