Carry-on Luggage Buying Tips | Consumer Reports

You want a bag that will fit over head and hold up overtime. Here's what counts.

4 wheels is easier to maneuver but it also means less interior space. 2 wheeled luggages have a lower clearance to the ground, allowing for more space inside.

Briggs & Riley luggage are good, but a big luggage from this brand is 800.00 for 1 piece for that price it have to be lifetime

Buying a famous and expensive brand name is no guarantee of durability either. I used to swear by Travel Pro, but now I mostly just swear at them.

Go to eBags.com, and but the TLS Motherlode Convertible, best bag ever. You can get the bigger one, the junior one or the one with the handle and wheels. Also get the packing cubes, those are a must have. You can usually get a discount if you sign up, up to 25% off and you get bonus money back that can be used on future purchases. I travel a lot and can vouch for that bag.

All these carryons are much too big for Ryanair or Spirit Airlines. A lot of people have big carryons, it is becoming hard to fit all the carryons in the bins.
