Transition - carrying your kit

Newbie question (and if been asked a hundred times just post a link and mild abuse [:D])
It occured to me that for my first tri i will have all manner of kit (bike shoes, wetsuit, towel, helmet...etc etc) and my bike to transport from parking to transition
Do you guys use a big holdall, a box or some other device.
Was thinking hard plastic box so i could potentially sit on it in T1 to get sock and bike shoes on...
Any rules as to what can be in transition, how much space do you typically get
Thanks

I bought one and its big enough to carry everything you'll reasonably need.
- mines baby blue like my bike and have to say stood out nicely in transition

much easier to use when wheeling a bike than a big box (which was a relative disaster for me the one time I used one at my first tri).

not if you leave a small child inside one...

Other great T1 tip especially for coastal tri's - washing up bowl with water - sandy feet in, clean feet out, socks on, helmet on and go (don't forget to take your bike...)

''We're gonna need a bigger transition area...''
Triathlon? An expensive sport?...nah......
