I can only speak for myself, but I personally do not have any trouble carrying this portable record player wherever I need to bring it. I am 5’11” tall and weigh 300 pounds, so I’m not exactly a little guy by any stretch of the imagination. But still… This portable record player has a handy detachable guitar strap that you can connect to the record player and simply throw it over your shoulder. It’s only 6 ½ pounds, so it’s very lightweight and pretty easy to carry. The one caveat I’ll mention is that for a smaller person, the record player might be a little bit on the bulkier side. So, it may be slightly awkward when carrying it using the shoulder strap. You can always use the retractable handle instead, which might be more manageable since you’re holding it in your hand.
