Laguna Beach Hardside Spinner Wheel Luggage, Black Dot, Carry-On 20-Inch

Easy to handle.. perfect!

I started a new job where I travel for work a lot, by both train and plane. Ive always used Vera Bradley soft sided luggage to travel, but i needed something more reliable and able to keep up with me. This bag is just what i needed. Super sturdy, easy to clean (traveling in the Northeast in the winter - youd better be able to wipe off the salt and ice crud) and plenty of space for toiletries, shoes, and other things. Im a light packer, so this is great for me. I can usually get about 4 days worth of clothing into it with no issues. I carry a small backpack for the other essentials and between those two, i can sprint between any airport terminal. LOVE THIS THING!

We bought 2 of these suitcases for our kids (ages 6 and 8) for Christmas; we chose this model because it is lightweight, has spinner wheels, has distinctive patterned exteriors that our kids think is fun, is still of a decent size, and has multiple handle positions that can adjust to be easily pulled by both kids and adults. When we opened the first suitcase, we found that the manufacturers tag was not attached and was simply lying loose in the box. We also noticed that the plastic protective coating that is supposed to be removed after purchase was already removed in all but a few places. When we opened the case, we found that one of the straps that are supposed to hold the clothes in the side of the case was not properly attached (this strap is critical because the suitcase is a clamshell style, opening in the middle with 2 equal halves to fill with clothes rather than opening on an end -- without the strap, the clothes simply fall out when the suitcase is opened). Clearly this case had been purchased by someone else, returned as defective, and simply put back in a box and resold as new. We then opened the second suitcase; it had the plastic protective coating half-removed and one of the manufacturers tags removed and lying loose in the box. When we tried to use the suitcase, we found that the handle was loose and wiggly, and would not lock in the lower position, which is exactly the position needed to pull the suitcase by an 8-year old. Thus, out of 2 suitcases with different patterns, both had been returned as defective and resold as new. Thus, both of these suitcases are being returned -- again. This is too bad: the rest of the suitcase seems to be of excellent construction and would have fit the bill perfectly. Its a shame that this sleazy retailer elected to resell defective merchandise as new, ruining what otherwise would have been a good product and a good purchasing experience.

The suitcase is adorable, plenty of room for a few-night stay. But its only good as a carry-on. Due to a full flight, I was forced to check my bag, and it came off the plane completely scratched and the black turned white in the areas where it had been banged around. After just one use, it looks like Ive had it for years. Because you can never guarantee you wont have to check your bag, this just isnt the way to go if you need a durable suitcase that wont get damaged and worn so easily. I wish Id left the protective coating on it :)

Love it! Nice quality than I expected.

This luggage was spacious and durable

Super light weight! My petite 7 year old rolled it through the airport with no problem. Had a good amount of pockets to separate items from each other. I may buy one for myself too

Has minor flaws

I would have given it 5 stars especially for the price however the zipper on the inside broke the first time I used the bag. I was able to fix it so it would work again however it doesnt line up exactly. I love everything else about the bag and its been great. Ive used it now on about 5 different trips.

Very cute, even came with programmable locks.
