For all the bags that don’t have enough padding to protect electronics, just fold a sweater toward the outside to provide your own padding.

I bought the Rockland underseat bag based on your review, and I am extremely pleased! Thank you!
-
You are very good at reviewing these items. I appreciate that you went at a smooth quick pace but not too fast. I also like the details you pointed out. Thank you
-
Excellent reviews! Greatly appreciated!
-
Thanks Bud. I’m traveling soon and this luggage style caught my eye in Amazon.
-
Great video and very informative. I'd be interested to learn more about how they actually fit under the seat, and whether they meet airlines' underseat personal item dimensions.
-
Thank you so much! I wish you’d reviewed the Sampsonite spinner Underseater. I really want a 4-wheeled bag and your video is the best to show the actual features

Thanks for doing this. Years ago, my 3 year old grandson asked for a suitcase for Christmas I got him and his older sister under seat suitcases and packing cubes. At first their mother cried bloody murder because she didn’t want to juggle more suitcases, but realized she loved them. I’m now looking for one for my last of 5 grandkids so this was very helpful.

The big sacrifice of spinners is you lose internal volume. And its big. However if you dont need the volume and if you for sure are leaving under your seat, your feet will thank you with the extra room. As with everything. Its all about compromises and where you are willing to give up something

You just confirmed why not to buy an under the seat roller bag. I was considering it, but after watching your video, you confirmed there is not enough room for all the items I now carry in by large backpack. If you are packing clothes, then you would also pack toiletries. If you are packing electronics, then you would pack the cables. All the side pockets on these bags are not expandable enough for the bulk of these items. Also, if you were able to pack all the pockets to their capacity, it won't fit under the seat. Or worse, you can't get to pockets when you are sitting in your seat to reach and grab because you jam the bag in to get it to fit under the seat😂. I'm sticking with the backpack. Seriously, thanks for the review!

Wow! Love the video detail. Thanks!
-
Very helpful reviews! Thank you!

would have liked to see that these bags actually fit underseat-they look too large to me and I don't want to be on the plane when i find out it doesn't fit. Otherwise nice review of the bags themselves.

Years ago, I bought a Samantha Brown under seater that unzips to a carryon. It is now my go to because I fly on Allegiant airlines, and personal items are still free.
-
Thanks, I have been trying to decide which bag to get. :)
-
Your video is excellent. I have the Travelpro Maxlite 5 under the seat piece you featured, however it did not fit under a seat on American or Southwest. I love it still use it, but put it in overhead bin.
-
Ayo... it's Albi here! I was just researching carry-on luggage and your video popped up in my recommendations feed!
-
Appreciate the reviews. Wish I knew if any (or all) would fit if you are in an aisle seat on American or United. 🤨
-
Good review! However, it would have been even better if you can show how each of them actually fit under-seat, and a comparison of weight for us older travelers!
