A pull device for a wheeled luggage carrier which has a retractable handle for tilting and pulling of the luggage carrier where the pull device is readily attachable to the handle of the wheeled luggage carrier. The pull device has an elongated handle element configured symmetrically about the handle element axis and sized for gripping by a hand, an elongate extension element coupled to said handle element for extension in a direction substantially perpendicular to element axis, and fastening elements at the end of the extension element remote from the handle element for fastening the extension element to the handle of a wheeled luggage carrier where the handle is substantially perpendicular to the handle element axis when attached. The fastening elements are constructed and arranged to allow pivotal movement of the extension element. When the pull device is attached to the handle of a wheeled luggage carrier by the fastening means, the handle element is gripped by a person's hand with the attached arm in a natural plane of swinging movement when walking thereby permitting pulling of the luggage carrier without requiring rotation of the person's arm or hand from a normal position. The pull device is preferably constructed from lightweight, flexible materials.
