A rolling suitcase is the perfect luggage companion when travelling. They come in many sizes, colors and shapes.  From a small suitcase, when away for only a couple of days, to the large and extra large suitcases for longer holidays.

As you know, when you have a large suitcase filled with 2 weeks worth of holiday clothing, they can become very heavy to handle and move around. The great thing about these rolling suitcases is that they are very easy to move, due to the well designed wheels. It is like moving a trolley full of groceries in a supermarket.

The suitcases are made of high quality durable materials to handle the mis-treatment they receive in airport baggage transfers. They also have side panels made of strong plastic to stop the rolling suitcase from collapsing. This is important as baggage are always stacked on top of each other in the planes cargo area and when transported to the conveyer belts at airports.

Special Features

They come with a well designed extension handle with two solid retractable stems that stop the handle from twisting when extended. A certain amount of space is taken up within the bag to accommodate the handle, but it is well worth the compromise.

The wheels are an important factor to take into consideration when choosing the right rolling suitcase. Large solid wheels allow for less wear and are more impact resistant. Having larger wheels allows for easier navigation around bends and easier to pull over stairs and curbs.

Apart from the retractable handle, well placed additional handles are required when lifting the suitcase onto and off conveyer belts and platforms. They also need to be able to take the weight of the suitcase when full.

Look out for suitcases that come with additional compartments on the front as they can be useful to store documents and papers whist travelling. Some allow for padlocks or their own locking device to secure the contents. These are particular useful with small rolling suitcases that you will have with you at all times. You can then store tickets and passports.

Zippers can sometimes be a problem on suitcases so try to get a bag that has heavy duty nickel pulls.

The rolling suitcase, or travel bags come in a variety of sizes and themes. For kids, a Hello Kitty suitcase is fun and is very child friendly. For adults and serious travellers the features above will help to make the right decision when choosing a carry on bag or suitcase. Finding a wheeled suitcase that is different to most, ie. black is also a good idea to distinguish yours from the rest on a conveyer belt.
