A U-shaped platform is supported by the wheels for carrying luggage loaded upon the platform and the cart.

Clamp is cooperable with the handle and the frame for successively locking the handle and the frame in preselected positions, the clamp being latchable when the handle is in an upright extended position relative to the frame when the luggage cart is to be used to carry luggage, the clamp being retainingly attachable with said platform for securing said platform in its collapsed "storage position" when the clamp is released for latching engagement with the handle.
