We recently bought a balanzzo gizmo from strandbags. Little lightweight hand-held gadget that weighs luggage.
Used it this morning for son's o/s trip this afternoon.
Totally freaked out. It showed as 35kg and he's allowed 20.
I chucked a whole heap of stuff out of his bag, even switched to a smaller bag, weighed again. Now showed the weight as 27.
More discarding of son's stuff.
Asked husband to check the gizmo.
He hadn't changed it from lbs to kg.
Everything goes back into the big bag again. It shows as 18kg.
This little gadget is going to get a lot of use, pre-travel and o/s :)
