## Description

Travel in style with this U.S. Traveler Rio 2-piece Carry-On Luggage Set. It includes a 21" expandable, wheeled upright and a 14" boarding bag. Both pieces of the Rio luggage set meet the FAA carry-on regulations. You can easily slide the boarding bag over the handle of the 21" expandable, wheeled upright, making travel a snap. This US Traveler luggage set's metal hardware holds up to the rigors of the shipping process. Densely woven, 1200D polyester is very strong and keeps water from seeping in through the outside. The handle locks in place securely so you don't have to fiddle with it while you walk. A set of skate wheels make the luggage easier to transport without having to pick it up.

Review: Works perfect for what I Needed it for. - EDIT MAY 10TH 2025: nearly 13 years later and I still have and used this for travel lol. It's held up pretty well over the years. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I needed these in a pinch for travel i was going on and chose it based on its size, reviews, and available colors. I liked that i could get a different color than a standard plain black, and the green suited me just fine, and also if a friend ever needed to borrow it it would be gender neutral as opposed to a pink one (which i would have loved lol). Though true to other reviews the green color is NOT as bright and pretty as it appears on the photo, it is a little more muted, but a little more woodsy than olive id say. I have a ton of pics i took from various angles of all its features and even with it stuff full but i don't see where i can post them on this particular items page. :( I have no complaints over the durability of the suitcase (i don't use the mini one) kinda stupid, don't know if anyone ever uses them, not big enough for my laptop. So the suitcase will be the main point of my review. The item held up just fine and had no problems with it as a carry on. I flew through American Airlines for all flights and never once had any question of its size/weight issue and didn't have to check it. It rolled smoothly through the airport. the wheels worked well and had no issues with the handle. extended/retracted simple and quickly with a push of the button on top. there was an occasional tip or flip, but i attribute that to my handling of the bag as its a narrower than a larger one so it was easy to accidentally twist when pulling it up next to you, But that was mainly just how i was handling it. It can actually fit a pretty good amount of stuff in it. I had 2 pairs of jeans, house sweats, yoga style sweats, 8 shirts, 10 underwear and a couple bras, 4 pairs of socks, and a pair of low profile sneakers, pair of flats, and heels. Oh and an extra hoodie on top of all of that. Also had my makeup bag stashed in it too. All that WITHOUT the use of the 3" extender that unzips if you need it. I didn't want to risk having to check it. However on one of my flights, to/from an airforce base in a tiny plane, they had no room for carry ons so they had to be checked (no fee i might add) and it help up fine against their rough handling. Made it through the airports 6 times and came home in just as good condition as we left. Fortunately no scuffs or marks from being handled by agents or thrown on the belt or plane, and held a ton of stuff! all the intimates and socks and things were stowed in the zip mesh pocket on the inside, packed shoes in the bottom, then pants, then tops, then hoodie, I am very please with the durability and quality of this piece for a pretty decent price. It did what i needed it to do and did its job well. i really have no complaints about it at all and can't wait to go on another trip with it.
Review: Very nice light-weight carry-on luggage! - I was looking for a light-weight carry-on suitcase for airplane travel. Based on the low price, I was skeptical that this bag would be any good at all, but I decided to give it try, knowing I could always return it if I didn't like it. Much to my surprise and delight, it was 3 pounds lighter than the one I'd been using - a huge plus! It handled very well in the airport and on the plane. All of the zippers worked well - and the inside was roomy. I especially liked that the inside metal pieces that were part of the handle were flat and spaced far enough apart that I could use the space between them efficiently. My only disappointment was in the Tote Bag. It was too small to replace my older backpack - and the handles were made of a cheap cardboard-type material - the kind of thing that bends and breaks down quickly, so I didn't even try to use it. Nevertheless, I am happy with this purchase. I also thought the large assortment of colors was a plus for families who need to able to identify bags easily.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Are the wheels included in the measurements?  Or do they extend beyond the 22" allowed on many airlines?**
A: The bag I received measured 21 x 14 x 9 (unpacked, wheels to handles).  Packed it would be slightly deeper than 9" (perhaps 10"  up to 13", if extended ).  Delta Airlines allows carry-on size of "approximately 22 x 14 x 9."  Approximately means approximately.  An inch probably won't make a lot of difference. Other airlines vary in carry-on requirements.  Southwest, for example, allows 24 x 16 x 10.  All aircraft overheads are not created equal, however.  If the airline is concerned, they will measure, and if it doesn't meet the overhead allowance for that aircraft, will normally allow you to check you bag (usually for free) at the boarding gate; you will pick it up at baggage claim.  If the airplane is full, overhead space will be tight and airlines will typically ask people to check carry-ons at the gate whenever possible.  I almost always check my carry-on at the gate, so I don't have to mess with the overhead, and keep all my essentials at hand in my personal bag allowance.

**Q: Can you somehow attach the smaller one to the larger one so you can pull them at once?**
A: There is a fabric band across the back of the smaller bag that allows it to be placed over the handle of the large bag in order to pull the bags together.

**Q: Can this suitcase stand up on its own or does it fall over easily?**
A: This bag falls over forward. It does not remain upright on its on. I am replacing it for that reason.

**Q: actual size**
A: It doesn’t state the actual size of the suitcase is it shows one suitcase and one bag can you tell me what the sizes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A real carry-on, great for occasional traveler
*by M***. on April 23, 2012*

I have owned this carry-on set for about 6 months now, and got to use it for a few trips (3 weekend getaways, and 2 five day trips). Since I do not travel a lot, I did not want to pay too much for a luggage set. This one fits the bill perfectly. Here are the good points I see: * the price is right. I will not be mad if one day I have to check the luggage in, and the airline looses them. * it is a real carry-on for ANY airline: sure, some airlines will accept over-sized carry-on. But the day the plane is really full, they start being picky and asking people to check the carry-on in. With this set, you would be very unlucky if it was to happen to you. Also, rolling it down the aisle is easy as the bigger piece is narrow. * color is nice. I got the green one for me, and my wife chose the orange (that is more yellow in my opinion). Both are really a nice change from the regular black/brown you usually get, but it might stain more easily of you were to check it in, which hopefully will not happen. * quality: I was expecting less for the price. If you avoid checking it in, it should last a while. Fabric and zippers feel durable. The handle might be the weakest part, as it does not feel that strong, but so far, so good. * the small piece fits on top of the bigger one, and has a strap to be attached to the handle. In this configuration, getting out of the plane, switching plane and walking in the airport is very convenient, as you only need one hand for both pieces. * The small piece is the perfect size to fit a tablet or a kindle, as well as whatever you would need close to you during the flight or for your trip. I am able to fit: full size headphones, one tablet, one travel guide, a collapsible umbrella. * For me, this set size is enough for a few days trip. But it might be too small for others. This is hard to comment on this. A few minor points that explain the 4 star rating: * when I received the set, the chemical smell was quite strong. The smell went away fairly quickly by leaving the pieces open for a few days in a well ventilated room. But it would have been great if the manufacturer took care of removing the smell for me. * When you expand the bigger piece, and fill it completely, it will loose it's balance and not be able to stand vertically by itself. This is not too much of an issue as I did use only this feature once. To try to make it better on the way back, I tried to put the heavier items first, and toward the bottom. Balance was better, but I could tell it was still close from falling if I was to let it stand there.
