## 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: Good bag at good price - This bag was perfect for my trip. I loved the smaller size, and it held everything I needed for the 4 days. Although it’s a soft-sided bag, it has durable framing that protects the items inside. The handle slides easily and locks tight in place, and the wheels roll smoothly, making it easy to roll through a busy airport. The mesh zippered liner on front inside of bag makes it easy to organize items separate from clothing. It’s a nice looking bag that I easily spot at the baggage pick up. Although I did check my bag (no damage) it is sized for carry on. The smaller “personal” bag was roomy enough for everything I needed on the plane (book, snacks, gum etc) and items I wanted securely with me (I.D. , tickets, jewelry, money etc).

## 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap in price, but not cheaply made. Bigger and more rugged than I thought. Budget suitcase
*by M***! on February 2, 2026*

This review is for the Teal colored "U.S. Traveler Rio Lightweight Softside Rolling Carry-on Suitcase, 2-Wheel Single". Teal isn't really my groove. But for some reason it was on sale for $28.88, way cheaper than the black version I probably would have been drawn to. For this price I didn't know what to expect, and the reviews were all over the place, but I had a trip coming up and needed something fast and cheap. There isn't anything "cheap" about the construction. It's in line with every other budget brand rolling carry-on, and this one is labeled "lightweight". Spoiler: That's industry term for lightweight USE, not just that it only weighs a few pounds. You're not going to see commuters or business travelers using this suitcase. A lot of reviews called it "small". It's sized to fit into one of those sizing boxes a lot of the narrow-body aircraft operators (like Alaska) have to determine if it qualifies for carry-on or not. There are thousands of larger rolling carry-on suitcases you can buy, and maybe they fit and maybe they don't, basically if you have anything bigger you are hoping that the airline isn't enforcing the size rules that flight. They usually don't. But if you need extra space, this carry-on has a zipper to make it larger. Will it tip over when it's full? Probably. Mind did. A lot of the cheap 2 wheel bags have this problem. If you can't babysit the bag to prevent if from falling over, buy one with 4 wheels. For sure if you use the zipper to make this suitcase larger, it's going to fall over. Teal. The teal color never grew on me, but it makes the bag instantly identifiable. If I ever have to check the bag, it will probably help me identify it spinning around on the carousel. It made it easy to know the airport shuttle guy grabbed it. We have high humidity where I live, and suitcases don't last long. We buy them frequently so we buy them cheap. This is a good budget suitcase. If you're looking for high end stuff, shop in that price range.
