RocklandFashion Expandable Softside Upright Luggage Set, Purple, 2-Piece (14/19)

I purchased the owl pattern for my 5 year old and the giraffe pattern for my 11 year old for a trip to grandma's this coming summer. After arrival, I inspected the pieces thoroughly and found them to be well made. The goal is to take only a carry-on and a personal bag each so we don't have to pay extra luggage fees. I did a pre-packing run to make sure how much we could fit inside and I was very happy.... So happy in fact, that I decided to order a set for myself too. I pack by laying out my pants and shirts on top of each other, folding them in half, and rolling them together. I find that I fit far more in my bag that way. Here is what I fit inside the main area for myself without expanding the zipper for the extra 2 inches of room:2 pairs of jeans3 pair of mid calf capri pants5 shirts1 dress3 bras5 underwear1 pair sandals1 pair dress flats1 pair Nike running shoes1 swimming suit1 beach cover-upIn the small outer pockets I packed:5 pair socks3 camis1 slipIn the smaller personal bag, I fit my 11 inch laptop in the large front pocket.In the main area, I fit the following:make-up, curling iron, deodorant, toothpaste, electric toothbrush with its charger, phone and charger, travel size wet wipes and Kleenex packets, wallet, keys, snacks and a water bottle.There is a zippered long narrow pocket on the other side of the personal bag that is the perfect size in which to put your boarding pass. There is also a nice wide strap to loop over the handle of the carry-on so both bags can be pull transported through the airport.I rolled the bags all around my house on carpet and hardwood to test the wheels. They functioned smoothly. I parked the bag free standing and fully packed. It remained upright. Some reviewers have said their bags tipped over when packed. Maybe it depends on what you have inside and how it is packed.I fly Delta and the fee for checked bags is $25 each way so a round trip would cost $50. You are allowed one carry-on and a personal item for free. I paid $29 for the owl print set, $35 for the giraffe print set, and $29 for the solid purple set I bought for myself. I know these will last many trips for my girls and I so it was definately worth the pittance of a price for these new luggage sets. I come out $1 cheaper after tax and with my free prime shipping ordering all of these than I would have to check 2 bigger bags. I packed enough clothes for each of us for a week. I actually could fit two weeks worth of clothes for my 5 year old since her things are smaller. We are staying 3 weeks at grandma's house so we do laundrythere. I'd much rather have the pretty new luggage for the price than to pack extra clothes and pay for the bag fee. The way I figure it, even if we buy extra stuff there that won't fit on the way back, it's cheaper to mail it back in a priority mail one rate box than to pay luggage fees. I am very happy with my purchase and think you will be as well.

I ordered this because at the last minute I needed decent luggage to take on a 2 day trip. This one caught my eye because of the price. Liked the color and that it came with both the luggage with wheels and the carry-on bag. I really didn't expect it to be too great because of the price I was paying, so when it came and I opened the box, I had to double check that it was the one I had ordered and not an accident. I LOVE THIS SET!!! The color is a nice dark purple (not the bright stand out purple) and very well made. The luggage is very sturdy and holds a lot. I love the matching carry-on that has a strap to place over the luggage pull handle securely. Material is good quality and it's just an overall steal that I enjoyed. It would have cost $100s to buy the same thing elsewhere. I'm really happy and I know it's going to last a long time.

So far, only one trip with this pack, but so far, I like it. It rolls well and I was able to fit enough items for 5 day trip - clothes, meds, a present, and a couple books for the flight. I was also able to bring some souvenirs back. I didn't need to check it, so I can't say how easy it was to identify when doing baggage claim. The only reason I knocked one star off is it does have some loose strings and you have to be very intentional about packing or it does start to show some strain.

Restrictions by the airlines limiting the size and weight of carry-on luggage has meant that much of our existing luggage will no meet the newer guidelines. This set exceeded my expectations. When I originally purchased the set my intention was it for to last one multi-city European trip over the course of a month. The sluggage held up really well having been dragged across several miles of cobblestone tossed on boats and rough handling by the airlines. The set held up very well showing no signs of damage I would buy this luggage again if I needed to and I would certainly recommend this is a affordable quality product.

Amazing purchase for kids who need their own suitcase, but aren't ready for a full sized one. Quality construction for travel (5+ week long road trips without issue, but no air travel yet). We bought one for each girl and the day bag makes road trips super easy as it fits a rain coat, PJs, and up to five days worth of clothes. Suitcases themselves fit on the floor beneath the 2nd & 3rd rows of a Yukon XL for easy storage while driving. Wish the suitcases had four wheels instead of two, but the handle is at the right height for 4-8 year olds.
