Rockland Melbourne 20-Inch Expandable Abs Carry On Luggage

I bought this and a Samsonite Winfield 20" spinner at the same time.I returned the Samsonite because, with handle and wheels counted in, it exceeds the airline spec of 22 inches.This suitcase was a good size, met the airline specs and in practice fits well in the over head compartments. The interior is pretty basic, with a zippered cover for the top half and one zippered pocket on the other half. More organizing pockets would have been appreciated.The exterior is an attracctive, textured and striped black design. In one month of usage I have not scratches or nicks.But, this is a big but, after one month of use, roughly 3 airline trips, one of the wheels has failed and now wobbles such that I cannot push it along on four wheels. After less than 30 days, the bag is now in effect useless for me.I'm trying to figure out how to get warranty repair on it. If I recall came with a tag stating a 5 year warranty.So buyer beware.

Right now I'm giving this product 2 stars, as although it LOOKS great, the zipper broke after the 2nd use, having owned it for less than 6 months. If the warranty that this product came with holds up, I will re-review at that time with more stars.

Just received this in the mail to give to my boy for his 10 year birthday.We opened it up and the inside of the luggage is all pink. I could not find where this was described anywhere in the specifications. The outside is red, but the whole inside liner is pink - doesnt go well with the expectation of my boy...otherwise appears to be a great option.

I've used this on one trip so far, roundtrip NY/LA checked on 2 different airlines, so the rating may go up (or down) after more trips. Overall, I'm very satisfied. I was amazed at how much STUFF I could pack into this thing (4 pairs of pants, 8 shirts, 1 pair of safety shoes, 2 sets of pajamas, the usual socks/underwear/bras/toiletries) plus room to spare - WITHOUT expanding the bag. Full, it was still very light and mobile. The bag made the trip without incident-not even a scuff. (I didn't try taking it as a carry-on, but it looks like it would fit without issue.) What really impressed me though, was how this bag survived my 2.8 yr old son, aka Destructo. Not only did he think it great fun to push around, (demonstrating the stable wheel base on linoleum, tile, carpet, and wood) he laid it down (full) at the foot of our bed and proceeded to use it as a springboard, jumping off the bed, onto the suitcase, onto the floor. Repeat in reverse direction (going back up). Repeat ad nauseum. Figure he weighs about 30 lbs and he did this around 50 times. No damage to the suitcase or the contents (including a sealed full mouthwash container and a bag of goldfish crackers). To me, this says a LOT about how this will hold up during airport handling. This is much more than I can say for the Coleman hard side that I bought. I haven't even used the Coleman yet, but when Destructo tipped it over on the kitchen floor, the piece holding the base of the retractable handle inside the shell popped out. (Hubby repaired it, but this is BEFORE the Coleman has even been on an airplane or used as a toddler springboard.)

I just took this suitcase on two trips - one from the US to Europe and one from the US east coast to the west coast. It was checked both ways on the Europe trip and one way on the west coast trip. It came through the checking process just fine. It had a few scuffs, most of which wiped off with a damp cloth so that it looked new again. It fit perfectly in the overhead bin for the one leg I carried it on the plane. For one of the trips we stayed in a different hotel every night so the case had a lot of moving in and out of the car trunk, through parking lots, and up and down stairs and elevators into hotels, etc. It came through it all great. The wheels have been working fine. I am a little concerned that the extendable handle is kind of wiggly and loose, and I'm afraid it might eventually break. This is most noticeable when I'm pushing rather than pulling the case. To help with this, when pushing it, I only extend the handle up halfway - plenty high enough for comfortable pushing and gives the handle a bit more strength. The zippers have worked great - no problems there. The extra 2 inches that the expansion provides (easily done by unzipping one zipper) is really helpful and adds much more space than you would think. I am very happy with my purchase and am thinking of buying a second one.

I bought this suitcase in red my 8 year son whose favorite color is red. Nowhere on the description does it say that the inside would be pink with white polka dots. We will be returning this item.

I bought this about a year ago and have used it to get to 20 of the 50 states as well as the western half of Europe on planes, trains and automobiles. While, as some other reviewers have noted, the suitcase did get some scratches the frame itself never caved. It served as both a checked bag and a carry on. The wheels rotate around which make it ideal when running around changing trains or planes, it won't slow you down and rolls very smoothly. Also very aesthetically pleasing and not a pain in the butt which is more I can say about my carry on duffle bag.The one complaint I have is that if you pack the outside area too heavily it does have a tendency to tip over after you stop rolling it. Also note that most of the time it will be side check in at airports because its too fat in the middle when fully packed with the extensions in use but I've never had a problem with getting my carry on any plane or train I have been on with a size restriction. There is also no lock on the wheels which is sometimes a problems when on a steep hill.Overall awesome for 3 to 4 day trips but not more than that. It can only carry so much (although I've had it hold about 50 pounds before)if only because it is small.

Me gustó la calidad de la maleta y la compré a muy buen precio. Hasta el momento no le he dado uso rudo pero se ve resistente.
