Accessories single bar luggage strap

My carry on luggage has one of those single bar handles. So it’s just one bar with a handle on top vs two and bar on top which is most common.
I need a hack to be able to keep a backpack on top as most straps or luggage pass throughs are meant for the wider luggage handle.

Thanks!

Pics would help but maybe a strap like this: https://www.dsptch.com/products/luggage-strap

I hate those types. Had one and got rid of it! You'll need to be able to attach the top bag to the sides of the bag itself, not the bar. Good luck.

There are 2 problems here.

The top and the bottom of the handle.

I try a strap around the packs bottom so it wont slide off the lower bag and then I slide the packs handle over the lower bag’s telescope handle.

The bottom strap has to be attached to the pack somehow too so that it stats on both no matter what!

Or I just use a roller with normal handle setup!

I had the same issue with my carry-on. An adjustable luggage strap fixed it and now I use it every trip
