Spend a lot of time reading posts on this forum for packing suggestions. Laura, any 21 or 22 inch bag should be big enough. There are lots of packing tips on this site. It's so light and can hold a lot and when it's not full it compacts down to nothing. But, please try to pack light - it'll make your trip so much easier! I also use the Civita daypack as my "personal item".
I have always been happy with everything I've bought from the RS online store. If you don't want to try the Rick Steves rolling carryon (no backpack straps), there are lots of other bags out there. And I have lots of variety in my clothes-not just wearing the same thing over & over. For me, the hardest part is limiting myself to 3 pairs of shoes (heaviest worn on the plane and 2 packed). Since you're going to Italy in September, it shouldn't be too hard since the weather is still going to be very warm - thus lighter clothing. With the use of 4 packing cubes, I can fit everything I need. (I like the convertible backpack straps so I can lug it up stairs). Laura, I have used the Rick Steves rolling backpack for 2-3 week trips to Europe for the past few years. It would make it a lot easier for consumers. I think the luggage companies should truthfully advertise the dimensions of their products by stating the outside measurements and not the interior. I am sure there are people who have "gotten" away with carry on's which exceeded 22" by a smidgen. So the suggestion to read comments when buying online would be prudent or if possible to bring your tape measure with you when you go shopping at brick and mortar stores. I would hate to arrive at the airport gate with what I thought was a carry on, only to find that I was required to check it in. While I really liked the Travel Pro Nuance 21, I had to return it. So the Travel Pro Nuance 21" that I ordered turned out to be nearly 23" tall when I measured it while the Travel Pro Spinner 3 21" barely measured 22". Of course, you don't find this out until after you get the suitcases.
So when the luggage company advertise that it is a 22", it means the inside, not the outside including the wheels and depressed handle. I bought a few online, but when I received them, there were disclaimers that stated: "Dimensions are for suitcase compartment only and do not include external components such as wheels, feet, and handles". I had shopped around for a spinner carry on that would not exceed the 14 X 22 X 9" requirements for United Airlines. I agree with Edgar about not relying on the dimensions stated by the ads of different luggage companies. We found that nine out of the 11 models we measured were larger than We were tipped off about this carry-on luggage size problem byĬustomer comments on and indicating that theĬarry-on bags they ordered were larger than advertised.

The reason?

You should also note that there is not one universal carry-on size. If it doesn't fit, it goes into the cargo hold. Some airlines use sizing frames or boxes.

They had many Disney prints over the years.princesses, Mickey, Little Mermaid. OP, I have bought each of my grandkids the Pottery Barn luggage (larger one). My husband and I both use them (large size) often for trips. I would say a child could get away with a size medium. Can't wait to try it on our next cruise which is next week. I ordered mine online at LLBean but the only color choice was a yellow. I even went into a physical store to buy one and he said as soon as they come in they sell out. Apparently they can't keep them in stock. I just purchased one and it arrived in the mail yesterday.
Well, LLBean finally listened to its customers and now has the rolling adventure duffle that stands up!!! It does not completely lay flat anymore but that is OK.it will still fit under the bed. But.our biggest complaint was that it did not stand up. We always get the LLBean Large Rolling Adventure Duffle. I have purchased at least 12 of these over the years.
