Baseline 2 Wheel Cabin Bag

I’ve reached that special phase of life where you need to travel with medical stuff and it’s too heavy to carry. If I have a checked bag, this is the carry on I use for my equipment. It’s small, light, good wheels, and hold a small personal carry on like a backpack on top.

I purchased this bag because I'm a flight attendant and always on the go. I needed a bag that stands behind it's name plus my Briggs and Riley has a lifetime warranty. That means that I never have to purchase another bag ever. Several of my co-workers have steered me towards this bag and it hasn't disappoint in any way. I love how you can expand the bag with the CSX expansion. It allows me to pack more items and once filled, I can compress the items for a tight fit. I know the bag does seem a little pricey, but I look at it as an investment. I won't have to keep buying luggage over and over and spending money for new bags, plus it retails for $659 and I caught it on Amazon for $330. Woo hoo!

I’ve pressed my luck over the years with a 24” case with no issues (I almost always fly First Class and FAs and GAs tend to look the other way for those of us spending the big bucks) but I’ve recently started flying out of cities that require bags to be placed in 23” bins. Obviously, a 24” bag sticks up and I knew I would get called on it sooner or later. So I’ll save my fantastic 24” bag for road trips and I bought this one for air travel. First, let me say the wheel design is incredible. It gives you an extra inch of room inside the bag compared to the 4-wheel bags. That might not seem like much, but when you are limited to 20 or 21 inches of interior space, that is as much as a 5% increase in space. It makes up half of the space I lost going from a 24” to a 22” bag. Second, I wasn’t sure about whether I’d find the garment bag feature inside useful, but I used it for a pair of dress slacks going one direction on a 4+hour flight and suit jacket jacket on the return and both came out virtually wrinkle-free. So, a winner there.I’m still on the fence about the floating insert at the bottom of the bag. I can see how it might be useful to separate clean from dirty clothes, but I use packing cubes and a dirty clothes bag, so I didn’t use it for that. i may find a use in the future.The outside pockets were of no use for me. I always carry a underseat bag anyway. I can see how the smaller pocket between the handle bars might be good for a pair of glasses.The real winner is the compression feature. I packed the bag in its extended position with a dirty laundry bag inside and just crushed it down. Viola! Legal width. Better than fighting with a zipper that breaks (I’ve seen this happen).The bag BARELY fits in a Delta overhead, wheels first, as long as you stay away from the hinges. I will have to wait to try on other carriers and in the new Airbus sideways configuration, but it should be good.All-in-all, this bag fits a LOT of inside space into a small package. It is extremely well-built, with a lifetime warranty. A winner bag.

I travel frequently and this is the second Briggs & Riley roll aboard that I’ve owned. The first one was older and only had two wheels, so it was a bit of a drag to maneuver. This new model with four wheels is a game-changer! It moves effortlessly and can even make its way down the aisle of the plane on its wheels—something I couldn't do with my older model, which had to be carried.Briggs & Riley really makes an outstanding product, and with their lifetime guarantee, I feel confident that this will last me for many years to come. My family has started using their bags exclusively when traveling, and we love the expandability of their cases. It’s perfect for those trips where you need a little extra room for souvenirs or items you pick up along the way.Highly recommend this bag for anyone who travels frequently and wants a reliable, durable, and easy-to-maneuver suitcase.

I’ve been shopping this bag class (Underseat cabin bags) for a ridiculously long time. I finally decided to give this bag and a competing bag a try. I don’t own any Briggs & Riley luggage, and I am a very frequent traveler, so my luggage and packing systems are robust.One of the questions I couldn’t find an answer to: does this bag’s interlocking handle system work with other manufacturer’s bags? It works flawlessly with my LuggageX checked bag, and it doesn’t align perfectly with my narrower Solgaard carry-on’s handle but I can make it work in a pinch if for some reason I had to stack those bags.The quality compared to other luggage in the category is incredible. I’ve handled the Samsonite and TravelPro bags in this category and there is no contest in terms of the “feel” of the materials and the quality of zippers and closures.This bag is softer, so I wouldn’t likely stack a bag on top of it. I’d hoped for a spinner, but ultimately decided on two wheels since I will be dragging this bag around on carpets, gravel, sidewalks, and between buildings, not just on smooth airport and hotel floors, so I’ll report back with an edit / update after I decide whether that was the right call (and after I get a few flights worth of confidence that it really does fit under seat consistently). By measurement, it should for the airlines I fly, but I am still skeptical.I was looking for a unicorn: a sturdy stackable spinner under seat bag, with convenient access during the flight (no hard shells), that would hold a 15.6” laptop, other electronics, and a non-travel CPAP plus my toiletries. This bag is not as sturdy and stackable, and it’s not a spinner, but compared to every other bag in this category, it’s the only one I’ve laid hands on that I really like and think I will enjoy using, so I’m keeping it even if it isn’t “the” unicorn.

I bought this bag because I was tired of "spinner" bags whose wheels break off. This two-wheeled bag is robust and the wheels can handle cobblestone streets, etc. when I travel. Exellent bags with great features and great quality.
