Get the kind with 4 wheels that spin.

I've been looking at them on Amazon and the reviews are mixed on many brands, so I'm hoping someone has first hand experience. I don't need it to qualify as a carry on.

It depends on how often you're going to use it and how you plan to travel. Is it ever going to get checked on an airline? Just go in your car? Train?

With luggage in general, I tend to stick with the CrewPro line from Travelpro. I also have pieces from Tumi, as well as Briggs and Riley. They're not inexpensive, but they last forever, and they do their job of protecting my belongings. I always cringe when I read comments from people saying that they bought a piece of luggage because it was "cute".

@FrostyBabe1 I have a Briggs and Riley I got several years ago. You are correct; they are not cheap, but they are well made. And if I recall correctly, they are guaranteed for life. Of course, in my case, they were pretty safe with that guarantee! ha! But if you are younger and travel a lot, it is nice to know that they will replace parts free for you.

That being said, I usually travel with my Rick Steves luggage so everything matches, and save the B&R for overnight stays at friends.
