I have used the Tutto carryons - the "suiter" and a
smaller one for years. I fill them with clothes, papers and my lap-top.
The great thing about the Tutto bags is that: they are incredibly
lightweight, adding almost no weight to your things; and they are
on four wheels, so you can manuver them easily, you don't have the
weight of a two wheel pulling on your arm, and you can stack other
heavy bags on top of them with no problem.
In almost ten years of use to travel at least once a week, and
in the case of one I used as a briefcase, every day going to an
office where I let it "roll" down a flight of stairs every
day as I left, I had only one failed wheel (I lost a few handles
when I forgot to take them off before checking them). My family
also has the traditional two wheeled carryons that I purchased prior
to getting my Tuttos and when the Tuttos are taken we use them so
I have a firm basis for comparison.
The Tuttos are so much better than traditional carry-ons you wonder
why more people don't have them. They are a little pricey, but I
believe the biggest hindrance is they seem to market only through
airline magazines. Anyway, I can't say enough good things about
the product and I consider myself a very tough consumer.
