I purchased an "underseat roller bag" recently for an upcoming international flight-- but using as my carry on bag-- as one leg of flight has a 15lb limit on carryons. My regular size carryon will be checked. My smaller personal item can go on the "underseat bag'" while running through airport. 'm a senior and just don't want to be carrying anything much on my person-- plus the smaller sized carryon is easier to lift into overhead bin.
@@DdDd-pk4pu, it is called checked bag fees. Checking a carry on bag is often cheaper than checking the larger bags and if she has trouble lifting a carry on, she would find lifting a larger bag even more trouble. My husband and I have gone to carry on and personal item only several years ago. We take laundry washing sheets that you only use a portion of at a time, so we can do some unmentionables and regular clothes every couple of days. We can hang to dry. One strip of the laundry soap lasts about a week so it is very economical.
I love my Samsonite under-seater. I would not take neck pillow, or case on laptop to save space. I also use it as my primary bag, with merino wardrobe ❤️🌹🥰
My backpack is always my personal item. I have an overhead suit case and my back pack which has my crossbody i pull out after TSA. Cross body has what my purse would have so touch up and wipes are in it and out when i board. I have been separated from my carryon so always carrying on my essentials in my crossbody works.
I have this bag and love it. Sometimes it's my carryon and mostly it's my underseat bag.I travel in economy mostly in American. To get it under the seat, I wheel it sideways into the row almost under my seat, then it easily tilts under the seat in front. It makes a good foot rest too.Only once did it not fit. I agree that straps are weirdly positioned inside the bag. And the top ones are in the way.
I have the American Tourister 4 Kix Expandable Underseater, specifically for the 18x14x8” dimensions that fit all the smaller airlines. It’s been a game changer for my health issues. The different colors go on sale for $65 (1/2 price). It is also lightweight but sturdy. I did many long hours of research for the best rolling underseater, so I hope this helps someone❣️
I have the American Tourister Burst Max Quatro underseater. It is the same bag as the 4 Kix, just sold at a different store. Used it as my only bag for a five day four night trip and it worked great!
I have a small “under seat bag” I got at Walmart. I use it as a carryon and bring a purse. I check 1 bag. I’m 81 and I can’t carry my backpack anymore. Thanks for this video, I enjoy all your information.
Love your videos. I’m glad you reviewed this type of bag. I bought a Travelon “under seat” bag for a trip on Southwest Airlines flight. Loved the bag but it did not fit under the window seat. I returned yesterday from a trip. Used my new Loveook backpack. It was wonderful! I too have a shoulder injury but I had no pain since the straps are very adjustable.
I use the KROSER Carry On Underseat Multi-functional, 16-inch Underseater Lightweight Overnight Suitcase for Men Women. I have used it for about a year. It seems thinner than yours. I have like having the roller feature due to the stress of a duffel or a back pack can have on my shoulders. I like this particular roller bag. It has lots of pockets for my stuff. I even had it in Underseat on united which is notorious for smaller Underseat space.
I'm on my fourth under seat travel bag. I think this is the one finally It's a reaction Kenneth Cole bag that I basically bought cause it was sooooo pretty. Gold zippers, handle etc I can get a change of clothes in a compression bag strapped into the compression straps, makeup bag, flips flops in the inner side pockets, I stick small accessories like zip lock bags of my vitamins and meds into the toe part of the flip flops. My iPad and all the electronics pouch. A small bag of snacks that usually includes 4-5 mandarins and granola bars, and cut up veg and smokies. Everything fits except it only fits easily under the seat in front of me if im stuck in the middle seat. Have to really cram it in if I'm sitting aisle and really hard to get out from under seat at window without bumping & jarring seats mates. I think this bag is even a bit shorter than most under seat bags. I always travel standby so many times my other carry-on gets checked at the gate. By the time I board usually last'ish there's no room. I have a really great crossbody bag that amazingly carries so much stuff without being overly huge and heavy ..carrys cell, wallet, passport earbuds and cords for cell & iPad metal straw and clorex wipes pen pencil. All other electronics go into the Cole bag. Before I found this bag I used a 3 compartment bumbag strapped to my waste until I got in the plane, then that went into the seat pocket. I love the spinny 4 wheels. I usually carry a small flat zippered compartment bag of pens pencil correction tape(I have to distract myself with Sudoku) Clippers, tweezers, small measuring tape. Teeny tiny ruler(yeah I know weird, multi use teeny tiny screw driver thing, seam riper cork screw, 4 small tiny clothes pins etc) .... Now this little case stays at home cause there's a great compartment in the front pocket that flips out for all this stuff. My carry-on has a cup holder and battery port. Never use the battery port because most times it gets volunteered check-in at the gate. But I love the cup holder and use it most of the time at the gate.... Waiting Sorry this got so long....
I only travel UK, to family and friends, by car, or public transport - buses, train, or long distance coaches. Cutting down on weight is now essential at my age - I've found some very useful tips on these travel advice channels, thank you E❤
Thx for showcasing a bag that is similar size to my Delsey underseat bag. The only bag I take on all overseas holidays. It forces me to pack minimally. My destination bag fits inside. A few more outside pockets for easy to reach items.
I really appreciated watching you go through the process of figuring out how to pack the bag and then coming back later to tell us the results. A real review that gave us real-time information. I cannot easily use a heavy backpack any longer and wondered if a personal item back with wheels would be an option. As you were filling, I knew that bag wouldn’t work for me. Thanks!
I will be flying across the country (USA) this summer, and I will definitely follow your advice about packing the large zip-lock bag for my in-flight essentials! I’ve already purchased 2 sets of those zip-lock bags that you recommended! And I love the tip about putting the zip-lock into a plastic grocery bag, to keep the germs and grime off of it! It makes a lot of sense! 😊
I too love my Loveook backpack for carry on only, as my personal item when I have checked a bag, etc. I have an old Samatha Brown underseater as well as a Bebe underseater that I have always had good luck with. They are both rounder and have a much different front opening that makes it easy to get into mid-flight.
The straps on the lid connect to the body of the Verage underseater for when you are sitting at the airport with the bag upright and need to pull your lap top out and not dump everything else out.
I have the previous version of this bag (same size) and use it as my only bag for 3 day trips. I use my Verage 14-in compact on Jetblue, and used it once on Southwest. No problems getting the bag under the window seat, though it does take a little maneuvering to push it in and under, but I've been able to do it without problems, and also reach my things inside without issue. I put my laptop in the seat pocket in front of me and also my small water bottle. I can't lift a regular carry-on bag overhead as I'm too short at 5'0", and they are simply too heavy, so under the seat roller is what I need. My carry-on roller bag that I've had (22" x 14" x 9") from the 1980s (Andiamo softside) is so heavy for me at 9 lbs empty, that I actually have to check that bag if I use it.
I have to agree with you about Clorox wipes. Using them is certainly better than not using them. Same as you, I always get sick 🤧 when I’ve not wiped down my airplane space. Thus, the Clorox wipes go with me on every flight. ✈️
So impressed that you were willing and able to say you hated it. Subscribed! I always wonder about the reviewers who like everything-especially when the things are sponsored or gifted. It seems rare to find anyone who’ll say “this just doesn’t work for me” at the very least. Much appreciate your honesty. Totally agree that if it does not fit under seat, what’s the point of a personal bag. Sheesh. That should be a given. One thing thats a huge help for me-the best in-air “gadget” ever, IMO-is a stretchy fabric thing that covers the tray and gives you 3-4 deep, stretchy pockets that drop down over the seat pocket. The airplane seat pockets are too shallow for what I want onboard. Same function as your silicone bag, but the planes I’ve been on, the bag would not fit in the pocket. This thing I use has great pockets for glasses, kindle, water, snacks, wipes etc. More than enough. And when not in use it folds/compresses to almost nothing.
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
I have a Samantha Brown suitcase that I love. I bought it at least 10 years ago on close out, but I notice it is back again for double the price. It is under the seat size and has fit under all the seats I’ve tried BUT it unfolds to carryon size! So if you are taking birthday presents with you, pay for a carryon one way, then use as a free personal item on the way home. Or travel as a personal item, then buy souvenirs and unfold on the way back. During the summer I use it about once a week. It is beginning to show a little wear.
I have that bag and have used it as a carryon for a cruise (drove to the port) and for several weekend trips. I have been happy with it so far. I haven’t used it as an underseat bag yet so we'll see if I decide to use it for my flight to Seattle for an Alaskan cruise. Thanks for the honest review.
I have a similar bag to that one but with 2 wheels . The side pockets fits my travel hair dryer , a lot of my underwear. And toiletries and medicine in the other pocket which leaves the inside for lots of clothes etc . I never take a laptop anywhere .so easy to wheel around
Your daughter is Lauren from It's the Kellys?! I watch her as well. LOL The best use of an underseat wheeled bag is to use it as the carryon bag, and then have a smaller personal item. No checked bag. This system is very manageable for weight, etc. now that I am getting older.
The bag featured is the 14 plus bag. I have an earlier version of this bag. I'm not a fan of it either. It's even smaller and honestly, I can get more in a backpack. Thank you for verifying what I've always felt about this bag.
The only time my "under the seat" bag wouldn't fit was last year on Southwest, which I've heard has the strictist size requirements (not sure if that's still true, though). The flight attendant very nicely put the bag in an overhead bin for me. I apologized and said I'd never had this problem before and I knew it's measurements before purchasing it (Samantha Brown luggage). The flight attendant said the aisle seat rows were narrower than the middle and window seats! Who knew! So I always opt for a window seat now.
Good to know! I bought an underseat bag, even had photos of it fitting underneath from happy customers… and mine didn’t! And it was an aisle seat. Interesting. Thank you.
Sadly aisle seats space are always narrow because of the seat frames, I use same backpack and usually even have little room for my legs next to it and on my last trip the connection flight was so annoying ,aisle seat- not only barely fit but also i had to pick it when the other 2 people wanted to get up, or they would of stepped on it.
The aisle seats have electrical stations so they less room than the other seats. I have found this on Delta, United and Alaska. If you travel from smaller airports than the under seats can rarely fit anything larger than a standard purse.
I LOVE my amazon basics under the seat bag....never had a problem fitting it, in fact I can use it as a foot rest. You picked the wrong one. Mine has better pockets and is not as stiff. I love that I can roll it.
I’ve tried a couple of roller bags marketed as under seat bags, and not one of them actually fit under the seat. In fact, I measured one, and it was a good inch bigger in depth than it was advertised even before it was packed. I pack my “under seat” roller bag as a carry on and take a separate tote for my personal item.
I bought several of these under seat, roller bags for myself and family and friends. they are worthless for traveling. Fortunately, it’s the perfect size for work and the wheels save me from having to carry it through the parking garage and all the hallways and elevators.
I'm sorry you had to go through that experience. But, thanks for the review. Thank you. I prefer the American Tourister 2-wheeler. Mine fit under the seat when I flew an American Airlines connecting flight to an international destination (Delta, too). It fits my 17-inch laptop (I just have to wedge it in diagonally) and I never overstuff my bag. It's a tight fit, but it fits.
Most of “underseater” bags with spinner wheels do not fit underneath the plane seat. You need a small rolling bag for that. These work great for seniors or people with back or shoulder issues that can’t have that large tote or backpack on their backs from the plane to baggage.🧳
I actually used a very similar bag to travel to Belgium for a week. Only that bag and my medium purse. I like the bag as it keeps everything organized for me. I like it as a carry-on, but it does seem big for a personal item bag.
I have a bag from Samsonite that is very similar to this bag. I don't think it's quite as large as it does fit easily under the seat. That said, I have a love-hate relationship with it.
I’ve had a shoulder injury and I get around getting the backpack on by holding it over my head with the good arm so the not-so-good arm can get settled in the strap first.
Love your videos and use a ton of these products. My only negative is the hook on the travel organizer. It stretches and sometimes doesn’t fit over door hooks.
I'm 75 years old. I can't carry a backpack anymore. I have a 16" spinner similar to that one that works fine for a 2 day trip. All i need on the plane are my tablet and my headphones. I don't mind putting this tiny thing the overhead bins because there's always enough space for it. If I'm in first class, I just take my 20 inch spinner, check it and no worries.
I bought KROSER Carry On Underseat 16-inch bag and it fit under the seat on Alaska Airlines, even on small planes. It's great if you carry a small laptop or similar, otherwise the electronics pocket just takes up a lot of room
Instead of Clorox wipes, I travel with my Norwex travel size envirocloth. The super dense microfiber removes bacteria from surfaces with water 🤯 & has helped me stay well when traveling!
I really appreciate you looking into a roller personal item bag because I'm dealing with shoulder issues, too, that make my lifelong ease of backpacks less comfortable. Too bad this wasn't the winner, and that you had to deal with it for such a long trip cross-country.
I have a Samantha Brown Underseat bag with all of these features and better organization. It ALWAYS fits under the US domestic flight seat (14 x 8 x 16). Back pain was a deterrent to the tote or duffle. Tai Chi helped, and now, back to using the over shoulder/cross body/backpack. Best to you and your health.
Samantha Browns under seat roller bag works. I could tell the minute you unpacked this bag that the wheels were not designed for an under seat carry on. She goes into depth on this issue. As a senior traveler, I can no longer carry backpacks, tote bags etc., so having a roller bag specifically designed to fit under all airline seats is an essential part of travel. Don’t give up!
Unfortunately, with this bag it was more an issue of being able to maneuver it to get under the seat that was the issue. With so much structure, I couldn't get a good angle on it to slide under the seat. I'll definitely try some others out in the future!
I am flying home in two days and my wipes are ready to go! On my flight here, I ScruBBed a couple of grimy areas on my tray and hand rest. No one will convince me that wiping down my seat area is unnecessary! I appreciate the cleaning crews but they can’t possibly clean everything in the time allowed.
Right?!! I'm even wiping down the wall by the window (since I usually sit in a window seat) because I might lean my head against it during the flight. Anything I might touch at all!!
I have one mine is a samsonite . I use it and my carryon size for vacations I drive to For flying I stick with the carryon and my Lovevook backpack Thanks for the video because I was wondering if it would fit under the seat and was not brave enough to try it like you!😆
I have a similar bag from traveler and I use it as my carryon for international flights. The weight requirements are so strict that a regular size carry on would be too heavy and I don't want to risk having to check it. So I check a medium bag, put the little roller in there overhead and then have a backpack as a personal item. I have several days of clothes, pjs, bathing suit and toiletries with me in the event my checked bag has an issue I'm not without clothes. The other I reason I like the little roller is I can nest my backpack on it and not have to carry it. Even if it's only 10 or 11 lbs the backpack gets heavy for me if I'm walking really far in an airport. Then when I get to my destination my back pack goes on my back and the little suitcase nest on my larger one.
I just bought a similar bag today, but I will be using it as my carry-on, with a zippered tote as my personal item bag. Hope it works out that way. By the way, I love your milk glass collection!
I just flew from California to Boston roundtrip on Delta in First Class, and my personal item didn't fit under the seat either time. It's exactly 18x14x8, which is what Delta says is the max size. No way near getting under, there was some kind of bar near the front that blocked it, so it stuck out into my foot space 3-4 inches.
I have a Samsonite under seat roller bag that works much better than the things you don’t like about your bag. The only negative I can see would be space for your laptop. I just carry my iPad and there is a sleeve built in for that. The outer pocket is roomier and has room for a liquid bag.
LOL, I knew as you were packing it, I wouldn’t want it as a personal item, not least of which, is having to unzip and open the flap to get the pouch of seat comforts. That would be a big NOPE for me. I have an Away backpack and a TUMI backpack, both of which have a trolley sleeve. They’re perfect as personal bags, slip under the seats, slip easily over the handle of my carry on, and honestly, I can’t ever remember wearing them as actual backpacks, so would fit your purposes perfectly.
It looked like your Turtl was not quite positioned right. You need to adjust it to your liking, even if it doesn’t seem correct. It’s a personal comfort thing.
I have too many purse items to use something like that bag. It seems unforgiving in expanding like a backpack. I have glass case, bose cancelling headphones, wallet and small pouch. Thanks for the review though.
I'm too loved the dress. Can't find the link. Thanks for your review. I have a similar underseat carryon but it always travel on the top so i can have space for my feet. I use the seat sleeve to stay with all my essencials. I will try my backpack on my next trip but i have shoulder problem too
I do not like the Samsonite underseat bag that i bought. It does not fit under United aisle seats. It also does not hold enough to be my carry on since I also have a CPAP to pack as well.
Welp, you popped up on my feed in exactly the perfect time as I just bought a HP Laptop Bag with wheels to use as my personal bag last night actually due to a back injury which made a backpack impossible for me. I'm going on an International flight to Mexico and I pray it fits under the seat. I love your hair BTW... I too ditched the dark brown dye that was unhealthy big time anyway in 2020. New subscriber here.
Yes, I want to check that one out! Lauren from It's the Kelly's was going to do a review on it, and I waiting to see what she thinks 😊. Here's the link for the dress: amzn.to/4b1Nok8
I’m not surprised it didn’t work for you as a personal item. Nothing really fits under the seat in front of you despite bags being sold as having the required dimensions. I think that bag would really only work as a carry on for very short trips (like a weekend) if you also bring a backpack. I have the same backpack you have (in blue) and I also have a gorgeous monos backpack and I have to say the amazon one fits more and is much more practical. I just wanted the beautiful lavender colored monos one because - I wanted it!!
That's the issue I'm dealing with too 😢. So far I've managed to keep it flexible enough to get a backpack on and off, but I'm sure at some point it's not going to be so easy!
If there is a roller bag that works as an personal item that will fit under the center UNited seat and for International travel, I would love to know about it! I too have the shoulder issues, but am still using the Loveook backpack in spite of the pain!
You can always try a KROSER underseat. At least you have a place for your shoes, open space for packing cubes, admin panel with 15.6 laptop sleeve, water bottle/umbrella side panel, quiet wheels, and its small enough 16".
@@696969bold thank you! I did try one for a trip to Buenos Aires and carefully researched it. Unfortunately, it didn’t fit under the center United seat nor did it fit under a window seat in Premium Economy. I love the organization of it, but I ended up packing it inside another suitcase in order to get it home.
@lauriemarsh6600 I have the Samantha Brown Underseat, and it has fit on most domestic flights thus far. My only issues are if you're taller, the handle is a bit short, and two wheels 🤪
I thought you might not like that bag and that it wouldn't fit or be easy to open. I've examined these types of bags in stores and could see they are a no-go for me. I have a back pack similar to your favorite and like that alot depending on how much I need to stuff in. Seems I'm always buying additional personal item bags for different types of trips. I think this type of structured bag might work as an overnight carry on plus another personal item bag. I have so many meds, eyeglasses and contact lenses etc that my personal item bag needs to be flexible in construction.
I would just safety pin those flopping around straps when not in use. If there was a need for them someday, at least the option would be there to use them.
YIKES!!!! SAFETY CONCERN!! Because i'm a safety person it was screaming out at me.... If you recorded this in your home, please please please.... put an outlet cover on your outlet on the left of you! ❤❤❤
They let you through with that liquids bag? It looks way bigger than 1qt and I saw a full size foundation in there. How do you pass the 3-1-1 rule with that big bag of liquids jam packed? Do you have another vid with your secrets?
It is from Target, here is the link for that style of tank top, unfortunately it looks like the bright green is no longer available but you might be able to find it in your store if you have one close. I just purchased it in January. They do have a pretty lime green one though 😊. bit.ly/3KsWbzW
I put my clorox wipes in an additional ziploc bag. One time I had a pack in my suitcase that I had previously opened and the liquid inside leaked all over my suitcase and contents!
I wouldn't normally, this was just to test this particular bag out. I think an underseat roller bag is most useful for people who are checking the rest of their luggage (not doing carry on only) and have back, shoulder or other mobility issues. 😊
Yes, as long as they fit the dimensions the airline has required. I actually gate checked my "larger (20")" carry on when they requested volunteers to check their bags, but I could have brought both on the plane. But because it wouldn't actually fit under the seat, even though it meets the size requirements, it would have meant both of my bags would have been in the overhead bin. If you have a roller normal carry on size bag you are traveling with, and you don't plan to gate check it, there isn't really any reason to have another wheeled bag with you. Most travel bags, backpacks, totes have a sleeve that allows you to slide them on the handle of your carry on suitcase so you don't have to carry it around the airport on your back or shoulders.
@@GenxGypsy1968 thanks so much. I try my wheels personal item and I decide to go with my backpack. I highly recommend try the Biaggi backpack super nice. Love yours videos 💜☮️
Although Delta is a reliable airline, I noticed they “volunteer” people to gate check their carryons, stating lack of room in the overhead bins. And there’s plenty of space. They want an on-time departure- I get it. But it’s disingenuous. And yes, I do keep everything important to me in my personal item bag!
I’m not trying to be a jerk, but so many of these comments are cracking me up! I’m used to the know it alls who literally argue against everything but what they use, which makes me wonder why they watch these videos. 🤷🏻♀️ Then there are the people who clearly didn’t listen to the video at all which makes them look pretty dumb because you literally said, I prefer a backpack but I’m having shoulder issues, and yet here are all of these comments telling you to use a backpack. 🤔 😂 Entertaining comments aside, I appreciate your genuinely honest review as always. I’ve had my eye on that underseater because I have developed some serious back issues in the past few years and I too love a backpack but need alternatives myself. I really wish someone would make a roller bag with the features of a good travel backpack, including being mostly unstructured with all of the pockets that’s the same size of a backpack. Surely it isn’t that difficult?
I bought an under seat roller because I have had 3 back surgeries, plus many on my knees, feet, shoulder etc. Now that I’m watching this, and finding out I can’t use one like this on my trip coming up in 10 days - I’m looking at a light weight cross body tote. My backpack is too heavy!
You're having a lot of trouble with those straps, 😂. You see how when you open the suitcase completely, all those pockets in the lid are now upside down? Ask me how many times I've dumped my stuff out of those pockets onto the floor of an airport 😢

I purchased an "underseat roller bag" recently for an upcoming international flight-- but using as my carry on bag-- as one leg of flight has a 15lb limit on carryons. My regular size carryon will be checked. My smaller personal item can go on the "underseat bag'" while running through airport. 'm a senior and just don't want to be carrying anything much on my person-- plus the smaller sized carryon is easier to lift into overhead bin.
If you have to check the bag ANYWAY🤷♀️...WHY NOT JUST CHECK A BIGGER BAG 🤷♀️ and just forget a carryon PERIOD?? 🤷♀️what you said makes no sense
Love the idea. I am a petite woman and I cant rally lift a full sized carry on luggage in the overhead bin. This trick will do.
@@DdDd-pk4pu, it is called checked bag fees. Checking a carry on bag is often cheaper than checking the larger bags and if she has trouble lifting a carry on, she would find lifting a larger bag even more trouble. My husband and I have gone to carry on and personal item only several years ago. We take laundry washing sheets that you only use a portion of at a time, so we can do some unmentionables and regular clothes every couple of days. We can hang to dry. One strip of the laundry soap lasts about a week so it is very economical.
I love my Samsonite under-seater. I would not take neck pillow, or case on laptop to save space. I also use it as my primary bag, with merino wardrobe ❤️🌹🥰
My backpack is always my personal item. I have an overhead suit case and my back pack which has my crossbody i pull out after TSA. Cross body has what my purse would have so touch up and wipes are in it and out when i board. I have been separated from my carryon so always carrying on my essentials in my crossbody works.
I have this bag and love it. Sometimes it's my carryon and mostly it's my underseat bag.I travel in economy mostly in American. To get it under the seat, I wheel it sideways into the row almost under my seat, then it easily tilts under the seat in front. It makes a good foot rest too.Only once did it not fit. I agree that straps are weirdly positioned inside the bag. And the top ones are in the way.
I have the American Tourister 4 Kix Expandable Underseater, specifically for the 18x14x8” dimensions that fit all the smaller airlines. It’s been a game changer for my health issues. The different colors go on sale for $65 (1/2 price). It is also lightweight but sturdy.
I did many long hours of research for the best rolling underseater, so I hope this helps someone❣️
I have the American Tourister Burst Max Quatro underseater. It is the same bag as the 4 Kix, just sold at a different store. Used it as my only bag for a five day four night trip and it worked great!
I have a small “under seat bag” I got at Walmart. I use it as a carryon and bring a purse. I check 1 bag. I’m 81 and I can’t carry my backpack anymore. Thanks for this video, I enjoy all your information.
Love your videos. I’m glad you reviewed this type of bag. I bought a Travelon “under seat” bag for a trip on Southwest Airlines flight. Loved the bag but it did not fit under the window seat. I returned yesterday from a trip. Used my new Loveook backpack. It was wonderful! I too have a shoulder injury but I had no pain since the straps are very adjustable.
I use the KROSER Carry On Underseat Multi-functional, 16-inch Underseater Lightweight Overnight Suitcase for Men Women. I have used it for about a year. It seems thinner than yours. I have like having the roller feature due to the stress of a duffel or a back pack can have on my shoulders. I like this particular roller bag. It has lots of pockets for my stuff. I even had it in Underseat on united which is notorious for smaller Underseat space.
I'll look that one up, thanks for sharing!! 😊
I'm on my fourth under seat travel bag. I think this is the one finally
It's a reaction Kenneth Cole bag that I basically bought cause it was sooooo pretty. Gold zippers, handle etc
I can get a change of clothes in a compression bag strapped into the compression straps, makeup bag, flips flops in the inner side pockets, I stick small accessories like zip lock bags of my vitamins and meds into the toe part of the flip flops. My iPad and all the electronics pouch. A small bag of snacks that usually includes 4-5 mandarins and granola bars, and cut up veg and smokies. Everything fits except it only fits easily under the seat in front of me if im stuck in the middle seat. Have to really cram it in if I'm sitting aisle and really hard to get out from under seat at window without bumping & jarring seats mates. I think this bag is even a bit shorter than most under seat bags.
I always travel standby so many times my other carry-on gets checked at the gate. By the time I board usually last'ish there's no room. I have a really great crossbody bag that amazingly carries so much stuff without being overly huge and heavy ..carrys cell, wallet, passport earbuds and cords for cell & iPad metal straw and clorex wipes pen pencil. All other electronics go into the Cole bag. Before I found this bag I used a 3 compartment bumbag strapped to my waste until I got in the plane, then that went into the seat pocket.
I love the spinny 4 wheels.
I usually carry a small flat zippered compartment bag of pens pencil correction tape(I have to distract myself with Sudoku) Clippers, tweezers, small measuring tape. Teeny tiny ruler(yeah I know weird, multi use teeny tiny screw driver thing, seam riper cork screw, 4 small tiny clothes pins etc) .... Now this little case stays at home cause there's a great compartment in the front pocket that flips out for all this stuff.
My carry-on has a cup holder and battery port. Never use the battery port because most times it gets volunteered check-in at the gate. But I love the cup holder and use it most of the time at the gate.... Waiting
Sorry this got so long....
I only travel UK, to family and friends, by car, or public transport - buses, train, or long distance coaches. Cutting down on weight is now essential at my age - I've found some very useful tips on these travel advice channels, thank you E❤
Thx for showcasing a bag that is similar size to my Delsey underseat bag. The only bag I take on all overseas holidays. It forces me to pack minimally. My destination bag fits inside. A few more outside pockets for easy to reach items.
I really appreciated watching you go through the process of figuring out how to pack the bag and then coming back later to tell us the results. A real review that gave us real-time information. I cannot easily use a heavy backpack any longer and wondered if a personal item back with wheels would be an option. As you were filling, I knew that bag wouldn’t work for me. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! 😊
I will be flying across the country (USA) this summer, and I will definitely follow your advice about packing the large zip-lock bag for my in-flight essentials! I’ve already purchased 2 sets of those zip-lock bags that you recommended! And I love the tip about putting the zip-lock into a plastic grocery bag, to keep the germs and grime off of it! It makes a lot of sense! 😊
So glad it was helpful, hope you have a fabulous trip 😊
I too love my Loveook backpack for carry on only, as my personal item when I have checked a bag, etc. I have an old Samatha Brown underseater as well as a Bebe underseater that I have always had good luck with. They are both rounder and have a much different front opening that makes it easy to get into mid-flight.
Good to know, thanks for sharing 😊
The straps on the lid connect to the body of the Verage underseater for when you are sitting at the airport with the bag upright and need to pull your lap top out and not dump everything else out.
I have the previous version of this bag (same size) and use it as my only bag for 3 day trips. I use my Verage 14-in compact on Jetblue, and used it once on Southwest. No problems getting the bag under the window seat, though it does take a little maneuvering to push it in and under, but I've been able to do it without problems, and also reach my things inside without issue. I put my laptop in the seat pocket in front of me and also my small water bottle. I can't lift a regular carry-on bag overhead as I'm too short at 5'0", and they are simply too heavy, so under the seat roller is what I need. My carry-on roller bag that I've had (22" x 14" x 9") from the 1980s (Andiamo softside) is so heavy for me at 9 lbs empty, that I actually have to check that bag if I use it.
I have to agree with you about Clorox wipes. Using them is certainly better than not using them. Same as you, I always get sick 🤧 when I’ve not wiped down my airplane space. Thus, the Clorox wipes go with me on every flight. ✈️
So impressed that you were willing and able to say you hated it. Subscribed! I always wonder about the reviewers who like everything-especially when the things are sponsored or gifted. It seems rare to find anyone who’ll say “this just doesn’t work for me” at the very least. Much appreciate your honesty.
Totally agree that if it does not fit under seat, what’s the point of a personal bag. Sheesh. That should be a given.
One thing thats a huge help for me-the best in-air “gadget” ever, IMO-is a stretchy fabric thing that covers the tray and gives you 3-4 deep, stretchy pockets that drop down over the seat pocket. The airplane seat pockets are too shallow for what I want onboard.
Same function as your silicone bag, but the planes I’ve been on, the bag would not fit in the pocket. This thing I use has great pockets for glasses, kindle, water, snacks, wipes etc. More than enough. And when not in use it folds/compresses to almost nothing.
I've seen those, will have to try one on my next trip... thank you for the suggestion! 😊
Really appreciate this review as I was considering a similar bag. For now I will stick with my trusty rolling backpack as a personal item.
At the end, when you said that you HATED the bag, my jaw actually dropped! I wasn’t expecting to hear that! 🤣
You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find your prince,but trying different and new luggage and goodies is getting expensive.
I have one of these that I hate too. Fortunately, it is good to use for work.
Yes the color of the kislux is beautiful and it is a great decision, maybe one day they will add feet and straps. It would be nice to have a bigger bag during the colder months when we have to store gloves, beanies, scarves, etc…
Tuna wax candle on the zippers to makes them open more smoothly.
I have a Samantha Brown suitcase that I love. I bought it at least 10 years ago on close out, but I notice it is back again for double the price. It is under the seat size and has fit under all the seats I’ve tried BUT it unfolds to carryon size! So if you are taking birthday presents with you, pay for a carryon one way, then use as a free personal item on the way home. Or travel as a personal item, then buy souvenirs and unfold on the way back. During the summer I use it about once a week. It is beginning to show a little wear.
I have that bag and have used it as a carryon for a cruise (drove to the port) and for several weekend trips. I have been happy with it so far. I haven’t used it as an underseat bag yet so we'll see if I decide to use it for my flight to Seattle for an Alaskan cruise. Thanks for the honest review.
I bought the 2 wheel Krozer. It worked well because the wheels were more imbedded. I pack it up and it fits well under the seat.
You must have seen my browsing history! My husband is about to have 2nd hip replacement and wanted a rolling carryon! Thanks for the review!
I have a similar bag to that one but with 2 wheels . The side pockets fits my travel hair dryer , a lot of my underwear. And toiletries and medicine in the other pocket which leaves the inside for lots of clothes etc . I never take a laptop anywhere .so easy to wheel around
Your daughter is Lauren from It's the Kellys?!
I watch her as well. LOL
The best use of an underseat wheeled bag is to use it as the carryon bag, and then have a smaller personal item. No checked bag. This system is very manageable for weight, etc. now that I am getting older.
I was wondering throughout the video because it seems pretty large.
Thanks for the video!
The bag featured is the 14 plus bag. I have an earlier version of this bag. I'm not a fan of it either. It's even smaller and honestly, I can get more in a backpack. Thank you for verifying what I've always felt about this bag.
The only time my "under the seat" bag wouldn't fit was last year on Southwest, which I've heard has the strictist size requirements (not sure if that's still true, though). The flight attendant very nicely put the bag in an overhead bin for me. I apologized and said I'd never had this problem before and I knew it's measurements before purchasing it (Samantha Brown luggage). The flight attendant said the aisle seat rows were narrower than the middle and window seats! Who knew! So I always opt for a window seat now.
Good to know! I bought an underseat bag, even had photos of it fitting underneath from happy customers… and mine didn’t! And it was an aisle seat. Interesting. Thank you.
Sadly aisle seats space are always narrow because of the seat frames, I use same backpack and usually even have little room for my legs next to it and on my last trip the connection flight was so annoying ,aisle seat- not only barely fit but also i had to pick it when the other 2 people wanted to get up, or they would of stepped on it.
The aisle seats have electrical stations so they less room than the other seats. I have found this on Delta, United and Alaska. If you travel from smaller airports than the under seats can rarely fit anything larger than a standard purse.
Good to know!
I have a vag like that but haven't trusted using it for airline travel.
I LOVE my amazon basics under the seat bag....never had a problem fitting it, in fact I can use it as a foot rest. You picked the wrong one. Mine has better pockets and is not as stiff. I love that I can roll it.
I’ve tried a couple of roller bags marketed as under seat bags, and not one of them actually fit under the seat. In fact, I measured one, and it was a good inch bigger in depth than it was advertised even before it was packed. I pack my “under seat” roller bag as a carry on and take a separate tote for my personal item.
I bought several of these under seat, roller bags for myself and family and friends. they are worthless for traveling. Fortunately, it’s the perfect size for work and the wheels save me from having to carry it through the parking garage and all the hallways and elevators.
I'm sorry you had to go through that experience. But, thanks for the review. Thank you. I prefer the American Tourister 2-wheeler. Mine fit under the seat when I flew an American Airlines connecting flight to an international destination (Delta, too). It fits my 17-inch laptop (I just have to wedge it in diagonally) and I never overstuff my bag. It's a tight fit, but it fits.
Most of “underseater” bags with spinner wheels do not fit underneath the plane seat. You need a small rolling bag for that. These work great for seniors or people with back or shoulder issues that can’t have that large tote or backpack on their backs from the plane to baggage.🧳
I actually used a very similar bag to travel to Belgium for a week. Only that bag and my medium purse. I like the bag as it keeps everything organized for me. I like it as a carry-on, but it does seem big for a personal item bag.
I recently used my Kroser on four economy Delta flights. Worked like a charm. Except you don’t have much leg room left. Love your reviews. ❤
I just got this like you wanted an under the seat roller because I still will have a rolling back pack. Love it. Random research.
I have a bag from Samsonite that is very similar to this bag. I don't think it's quite as large as it does fit easily under the seat. That said, I have a love-hate relationship with it.
I’ve had a shoulder injury and I get around getting the backpack on by holding it over my head with the good arm so the not-so-good arm can get settled in the strap first.
Love your videos and use a ton of these products. My only negative is the hook on the travel organizer. It stretches and sometimes doesn’t fit over door hooks.
A friend has that bag and she loves it! I was wondering if you had a link for that dress? It's pretty and looked amazing on you! 😊
Thank you! I'm adding the link to the description now, but here it is so you don't have to go looking for it 😊. amzn.to/4b1Nok8
I'm 75 years old. I can't carry a backpack anymore. I have a 16" spinner similar to that one that works fine for a 2 day trip. All i need on the plane are my tablet and my headphones. I don't mind putting this tiny thing the overhead bins because there's always enough space for it. If I'm in first class, I just take my 20 inch spinner, check it and no worries.
Thank you
I sm glad you confirmed what i had envisioned when you were originally packing it!
Love your channel!
Yay! Thank you! 😊
I bought KROSER Carry On Underseat 16-inch bag and it fit under the seat on Alaska Airlines, even on small planes. It's great if you carry a small laptop or similar, otherwise the electronics pocket just takes up a lot of room
I am so happy to have watch your video. Thank you for your honest opinion, it was so useful for me.
Instead of Clorox wipes, I travel with my Norwex travel size envirocloth. The super dense microfiber removes bacteria from surfaces with water 🤯 & has helped me stay well when traveling!
I really appreciate you looking into a roller personal item bag because I'm dealing with shoulder issues, too, that make my lifelong ease of backpacks less comfortable. Too bad this wasn't the winner, and that you had to deal with it for such a long trip cross-country.
I have a Samantha Brown Underseat bag with all of these features and better organization. It ALWAYS fits under the US domestic flight seat (14 x 8 x 16).
Back pain was a deterrent to the tote or duffle. Tai Chi helped, and now, back to using the over shoulder/cross body/backpack. Best to you and your health.
So glad this video is not about a backpack.
I always prefer to use other options! Great info.😊
Samantha Browns under seat roller bag works. I could tell the minute you unpacked this bag that the wheels were not designed for an under seat carry on. She goes into depth on this issue. As a senior traveler, I can no longer carry backpacks, tote bags etc., so having a roller bag specifically designed to fit under all airline seats is an essential part of travel. Don’t give up!
Unfortunately, with this bag it was more an issue of being able to maneuver it to get under the seat that was the issue. With so much structure, I couldn't get a good angle on it to slide under the seat. I'll definitely try some others out in the future!
I am flying home in two days and my wipes are ready to go! On my flight here, I ScruBBed a couple of grimy areas on my tray and hand rest. No one will convince me that wiping down my seat area is unnecessary! I appreciate the cleaning crews but they can’t possibly clean everything in the time allowed.
Right?!! I'm even wiping down the wall by the window (since I usually sit in a window seat) because I might lean my head against it during the flight. Anything I might touch at all!!
I have one mine is a samsonite . I use it and my carryon size for vacations I drive to
For flying I stick with the carryon and my Lovevook backpack
Thanks for the video because I was wondering if it would fit under the seat and was not brave enough to try it like you!😆
I have a similar bag from traveler and I use it as my carryon for international flights. The weight requirements are so strict that a regular size carry on would be too heavy and I don't want to risk having to check it. So I check a medium bag, put the little roller in there overhead and then have a backpack as a personal item. I have several days of clothes, pjs, bathing suit and toiletries with me in the event my checked bag has an issue I'm not without clothes. The other I reason I like the little roller is I can nest my backpack on it and not have to carry it. Even if it's only 10 or 11 lbs the backpack gets heavy for me if I'm walking really far in an airport. Then when I get to my destination my back pack goes on my back and the little suitcase nest on my larger one.
Great video. Do you have a free packing list?
Great video! Thank you for your honest review. This is very helpful!
Well, I liked that the water bottle pocket was deep, but I agree with you that it doesn't look like the best bag!
I bought a bag similar and it barely fit under the seat. I used it once . Waste of 💴💴💴. Thank you for your honest review.
Great review! But, Girl! What jeans are you wearing?! So cute!! 😍
I just bought a similar bag today, but I will be using it as my carry-on, with a zippered tote as my personal item bag. Hope it works out that way. By the way, I love your milk glass collection!
Thank you 😊
I just flew from California to Boston roundtrip on Delta in First Class, and my personal item didn't fit under the seat either time. It's exactly 18x14x8, which is what Delta says is the max size. No way near getting under, there was some kind of bar near the front that blocked it, so it stuck out into my foot space 3-4 inches.
It's those weird bars holding all of the electrical equipment under the seats that the airlines forget to take into consideration 🙄
I’ve used a Samsonite under seat roller bag and love it.
Great video as always! I will stick to my beloved backpack! Blessings!
Thank you for this review! I was considering 1 of these and had reservations. Dodge a mistake.
Glad it helped!!
I have a Samsonite under seat roller bag that works much better than the things you don’t like about your bag. The only negative I can see would be space for your laptop. I just carry my iPad and there is a sleeve built in for that. The outer pocket is roomier and has room for a liquid bag.
LOL, I knew as you were packing it, I wouldn’t want it as a personal item, not least of which, is having to unzip and open the flap to get the pouch of seat comforts. That would be a big NOPE for me.
I have an Away backpack and a TUMI backpack, both of which have a trolley sleeve. They’re perfect as personal bags, slip under the seats, slip easily over the handle of my carry on, and honestly, I can’t ever remember wearing them as actual backpacks, so would fit your purposes perfectly.
It looked like your Turtl was not quite positioned right. You need to adjust it to your liking, even if it doesn’t seem correct. It’s a personal comfort thing.
More than likely the middle seat will fit it. Plus I always use my feet to push it under
I have too many purse items to use something like that bag. It seems unforgiving in expanding like a backpack. I have glass case, bose cancelling headphones, wallet and small pouch. Thanks for the review though.
Do you have the Link
for the Cute Blue & white Dress??
I'm too loved the dress. Can't find the link. Thanks for your review. I have a similar underseat carryon but it always travel on the top so i can have space for my feet. I use the seat sleeve to stay with all my essencials. I will try my backpack on my next trip but i have shoulder problem too
Yes!!! I'm looking for the dress, I love it!
Sorry y'all I'm adding the link to the description now!! But here it is so you don't have to go looking for it 😊. amzn.to/4b1Nok8
I have this one and I love it. Getting ready to do a packing vid too! Love it.
Great, honest review. Thank you.
I do not like the Samsonite underseat bag that i bought. It does not fit under United aisle seats. It also does not hold enough to be my carry on since I also have a CPAP to pack as well.
Oh! I do love your milkglass!
Darn, I was hoping you would like it!! I get tired of dragging around backpacks and hoped this might be the answer. :)
I know, me too!! LOL
Where did you buy the cute tank top you were wearing? Im havinv trouble finding a cute basic tank top that fits well. Love your videos thank you!
Welp, you popped up on my feed in exactly the perfect time as I just bought a HP Laptop Bag with wheels to use as my personal bag last night actually due to a back injury which made a backpack impossible for me. I'm going on an International flight to Mexico and I pray it fits under the seat. I love your hair BTW... I too ditched the dark brown dye that was unhealthy big time anyway in 2020. New subscriber here.
That travel conference sounds fun!
Was wondering if you could link the dress for me please! And Beis has a new under seat personal item suitcase that fits under the seat.
Yes, I want to check that one out! Lauren from It's the Kelly's was going to do a review on it, and I waiting to see what she thinks 😊. Here's the link for the dress: amzn.to/4b1Nok8
@@GenxGypsy1968 Thank you for your prompt reply!
I’m not surprised it didn’t work for you as a personal item. Nothing really fits under the seat in front of you despite bags being sold as having the required dimensions. I think that bag would really only work as a carry on for very short trips (like a weekend) if you also bring a backpack. I have the same backpack you have (in blue) and I also have a gorgeous monos backpack and I have to say the amazon one fits more and is much more practical. I just wanted the beautiful lavender colored monos one because - I wanted it!!
Very useful video, Angela. Thanks
I use a roller underseat bag bc, while I pack light, I can’t carry a backpack as my only bag. (Old rotator cuff injury.)
That's the issue I'm dealing with too 😢. So far I've managed to keep it flexible enough to get a backpack on and off, but I'm sure at some point it's not going to be so easy!
If there is a roller bag that works as an personal item that will fit under the center UNited seat and for International travel, I would love to know about it! I too have the shoulder issues, but am still using the Loveook backpack in spite of the pain!
You can always try a KROSER underseat. At least you have a place for your shoes, open space for packing cubes, admin panel with 15.6 laptop sleeve, water bottle/umbrella side panel, quiet wheels, and its small enough 16".
@@696969bold thank you! I did try one for a trip to Buenos Aires and carefully researched it. Unfortunately, it didn’t fit under the center United seat nor did it fit under a window seat in Premium Economy. I love the organization of it, but I ended up packing it inside another suitcase in order to get it home.
@lauriemarsh6600 I have the Samantha Brown Underseat, and it has fit on most domestic flights thus far. My only issues are if you're taller, the handle is a bit short, and two wheels 🤪
Why don't you try Samatha Brown luggage.
Samantha Brown is a GENIUS and makes affordable, efficient, organized travel gear.
Thanks for doing the testing for the rest of us. Noted!
I thought you might not like that bag and that it wouldn't fit or be easy to open. I've examined these types of bags in stores and could see they are a no-go for me. I have a back pack similar to your favorite and like that alot depending on how much I need to stuff in. Seems I'm always buying additional personal item bags for different types of trips. I think this type of structured bag might work as an overnight carry on plus another personal item bag. I have so many meds, eyeglasses and contact lenses etc that my personal item bag needs to be flexible in construction.
I would just safety pin those flopping around straps when not in use. If there was a need for them someday, at least the option would be there to use them.
Thanks for giving us your honest opinion! It really didn’t look that practical for me, so I suppose I’ll stick with my trusty backpack.
YIKES!!!! SAFETY CONCERN!! Because i'm a safety person it was screaming out at me.... If you recorded this in your home, please please please.... put an outlet cover on your outlet on the left of you! ❤❤❤
They let you through with that liquids bag? It looks way bigger than 1qt and I saw a full size foundation in there. How do you pass the 3-1-1 rule with that big bag of liquids jam packed? Do you have another vid with your secrets?
Awesome 👏 video about carry ons
Bummer it didn’t work out. All the reasons you mentioned would bug me too.
The search continues…
Exactly!! 😊
Do you have a link for your pretty green tank top? Thanks!
It is from Target, here is the link for that style of tank top, unfortunately it looks like the bright green is no longer available but you might be able to find it in your store if you have one close. I just purchased it in January. They do have a pretty lime green one though 😊. bit.ly/3KsWbzW
I put my clorox wipes in an additional ziploc bag. One time I had a pack in my suitcase that I had previously opened and the liquid inside leaked all over my suitcase and contents!
Why take two spinner bags
I wouldn't normally, this was just to test this particular bag out. I think an underseat roller bag is most useful for people who are checking the rest of their luggage (not doing carry on only) and have back, shoulder or other mobility issues. 😊
Hi. Hope you are doing well. I got a question. Can i have this kind of personal item and my carry on luggage in the plane?!
Yes, as long as they fit the dimensions the airline has required. I actually gate checked my "larger (20")" carry on when they requested volunteers to check their bags, but I could have brought both on the plane. But because it wouldn't actually fit under the seat, even though it meets the size requirements, it would have meant both of my bags would have been in the overhead bin. If you have a roller normal carry on size bag you are traveling with, and you don't plan to gate check it, there isn't really any reason to have another wheeled bag with you. Most travel bags, backpacks, totes have a sleeve that allows you to slide them on the handle of your carry on suitcase so you don't have to carry it around the airport on your back or shoulders.
@@GenxGypsy1968 thanks so much. I try my wheels personal item and I decide to go with my backpack. I highly recommend try the Biaggi backpack super nice. Love yours videos 💜☮️
@@GenxGypsy1968- I am quick to "volunteer" to gate-check my 20" carryon!
Although Delta is a reliable airline, I noticed they “volunteer” people to gate check their carryons, stating lack of room in the overhead bins. And there’s plenty of space. They want an on-time departure- I get it. But it’s disingenuous. And yes, I do keep everything important to me in my personal item bag!
I’m not trying to be a jerk, but so many of these comments are cracking me up! I’m used to the know it alls who literally argue against everything but what they use, which makes me wonder why they watch these videos. 🤷🏻♀️ Then there are the people who clearly didn’t listen to the video at all which makes them look pretty dumb because you literally said, I prefer a backpack but I’m having shoulder issues, and yet here are all of these comments telling you to use a backpack. 🤔 😂
Entertaining comments aside, I appreciate your genuinely honest review as always. I’ve had my eye on that underseater because I have developed some serious back issues in the past few years and I too love a backpack but need alternatives myself. I really wish someone would make a roller bag with the features of a good travel backpack, including being mostly unstructured with all of the pockets that’s the same size of a backpack. Surely it isn’t that difficult?
I bought an under seat roller because I have had 3 back surgeries, plus many on my knees, feet, shoulder etc. Now that I’m watching this, and finding out I can’t use one like this on my trip coming up in 10 days - I’m looking at a light weight cross body tote. My backpack is too heavy!
You're having a lot of trouble with those straps, 😂. You see how when you open the suitcase completely, all those pockets in the lid are now upside down? Ask me how many times I've dumped my stuff out of those pockets onto the floor of an airport 😢
Regarding Clorox wipes… great idea. Especially since I’ve seen people changing their baby’s diaper on the tray table. Ewww 😖🤢
