Hey all I have a 2002 Jeep Grand Cheroke and I am looking for a roof top cargo carrier. Anyone have any recommendations on this? We are going away with our 7month old and I kinda need the extra space for the Pack-n-play, stroller, etc.

We have always found that Thule made a wide range of carriers for a variety of car models. However, they can be pricey.
Yakima is another make that comes to mind, although I personally have no experience with them other than for bike racks.
Bonne chance,

I highly recommend the Thule Evolution series of cargo boxes. (I only wish that I had bought the bigger one!)
I put one on my Tahoe a few years ago and I have used it a lot, and it has been great. It is aerodynamic and it works very well. I was "warned" that it would kill my gas mileage, but I have not seen that at all.
TIP 1) If you buy a different brand, make sure that the cost of locks is included. When I was shopping around, I found a cheaper box, but the locks were not included.
TIP 2) Remember after you add a box that your vehicle is now taller than it used to be. This may sound stupid, but you need to be aware before you go into parking garages etc.

Mostly west coast, but a good place to consider is
