As for a headset, these are freighters with significant amount of noise, get one, your ears and grandkids will thank you.
One problem with the LW is that once that metal frame is bent it may never stand upright on its own. The freight loaders strapped my bag to the main deck of a 747 down so tightly with the rachet straps it ruined my bag. I've got a Tumi, probably too exensive, but super light. Check out Briggs & Riley. Light with a lifetime warranty. A bag is not a great place to go cheap.
