U.S. Traveler Rio Softside Expandable Carry-on Rolling Luggage, Blue, 2 Wheel Set

EDIT MAY 10TH 2025: nearly 13 years later and I still have and used this for travel lol. It's held up pretty well over the years.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I needed these in a pinch for travel i was going on and chose it based on its size, reviews, and available colors. I liked that i could get a different color than a standard plain black, and the green suited me just fine, and also if a friend ever needed to borrow it it would be gender neutral as opposed to a pink one (which i would have loved lol). Though true to other reviews the green color is NOT as bright and pretty as it appears on the photo, it is a little more muted, but a little more woodsy than olive id say. I have a ton of pics i took from various angles of all its features and even with it stuff full but i don't see where i can post them on this particular items page. :(I have no complaints over the durability of the suitcase (i don't use the mini one) kinda stupid, don't know if anyone ever uses them, not big enough for my laptop. So the suitcase will be the main point of my review.The item held up just fine and had no problems with it as a carry on. I flew through American Airlines for all flights and never once had any question of its size/weight issue and didn't have to check it. It rolled smoothly through the airport. the wheels worked well and had no issues with the handle. extended/retracted simple and quickly with a push of the button on top. there was an occasional tip or flip, but i attribute that to my handling of the bag as its a narrower than a larger one so it was easy to accidentally twist when pulling it up next to you, But that was mainly just how i was handling it.It can actually fit a pretty good amount of stuff in it. I had 2 pairs of jeans, house sweats, yoga style sweats, 8 shirts, 10 underwear and a couple bras, 4 pairs of socks, and a pair of low profile sneakers, pair of flats, and heels. Oh and an extra hoodie on top of all of that. Also had my makeup bag stashed in it too. All that WITHOUT the use of the 3" extender that unzips if you need it. I didn't want to risk having to check it. However on one of my flights, to/from an airforce base in a tiny plane, they had no room for carry ons so they had to be checked (no fee i might add) and it help up fine against their rough handling.Made it through the airports 6 times and came home in just as good condition as we left. Fortunately no scuffs or marks from being handled by agents or thrown on the belt or plane, and held a ton of stuff! all the intimates and socks and things were stowed in the zip mesh pocket on the inside, packed shoes in the bottom, then pants, then tops, then hoodie,I am very please with the durability and quality of this piece for a pretty decent price. It did what i needed it to do and did its job well. i really have no complaints about it at all and can't wait to go on another trip with it.

This is the luggage you will want for air travel within Europe. EasyJet and RyanAir have very strict size restrictions. These will pay for themselves in one flight verses paying a single oversize penalty.They appear to be solid quality, but if they only get us through the one 30 day Europe trip they will have paid for themselves.

Great carryon for short weekend jaunts. Hubby and I tried it out for a quick 3 day trip to Boston this spring. Only issue is that they tend to fall over and they’re a little smaller than other carryons, but they served their purpose well - so far, so good!

I have been using this for a few months. I prefer a two wheel suitcase because it is a low less effort to pull and the wheels don't take up as much of the space in the bag sizer. This one is a good size for carry-on.

Had to get an undersized carry on due to Icelandair’s non-standard dimensional requirements. This item should be the ticket. Also come with a matching carry on bag for under seat storage. Appears attractive and well built. I can get enough clothes and stuff in it plus my CPAP to carry me for 10 days in the UK. Leaving next Monday, will edit this review after as to how well it holds up.

I used these bags almost daily for flights from 1 January to 15 March. Great set of bags till the telescopic handle stopped working and the hand bag carrying strap started unstitching. I was hoping it was going to last me about year but only lasted 3 months.Pros: Luggage: sized perfectly for Carry-On. The luggage fit in the overhead space of large and small planes.Handbag: awesome bag. It fits my IPAD, meds, headphones, hand wipes and a few other things that I want at the ready. It fits under the seat every flight and doesn’t take up too much room.Cons: Luggage: The bag would sometimes not stand up straight and would fall over (annoying mostly). The telescopic handle one day just stopped working and would not close from the extended position, which basically renders the bag useless since I can no longer take it on flights.Handbag: one of the two hand straps is coming unstitched unfortunately.

I was kinda shocked when I got this. Is this really a carry-on? I measured, and it is within the limits. It has a ton of room, and it is extremely well made. Moreover, it rolls really easily, not tipping, not snagging or any other annoying habit. It is lightweight and has a grip handle so you can carry it as well as rolling it. They have many colors, so you can get something that will stand out (I got the teal). It comes with a little bag thing, which I imagine you could use underwear, cosmetics, etc., etc., anything you want to separate. I used this on a trip two days after I got it, and I couldn't have been more pleased with it.

I was looking for a 22x14x9 carryon and this was the closest I found to add to my carryon only luggage. Material is great, and strong. The front pockets could have been bigger for my liking. Overall I love it.
