Baseline 2-Wheel Cabin Bag
Product details
Web ID: 14185338No. Just no.
I had great hopes for this bag, given my happiness with other B&R purchases, but it is turned out to be a major, very expensive disappointment. It does not fit under the seat in a United regional jet, even in first class, and I often must fly regional jets. The slanted top of the case severely limits what can go in it and I could barely fit sweater, T-shirt, TSA sized toiletries and a couple of kind bars in it for an overnight trip. Shoes do not fit easily into the side pockets inside the back. The front pocket does not have sufficient space for a laptop, and even my iPad mini caused the bag to bow. As an additional problem, the zippers do not move smoothly on the corners of the bag particularly at the top, and whatever the contraption is that B&R has come up with to hold it on the 22 inch carry-on is unworkable and unstable. Plus, it extends 1 inch higher than the bag and was one of the reasons why it did not fit under the seat in front of me. I had thought this case might replace my Work backpack, which I love and have traveled with extensively, but frankly after one outing, it’s going out into the garage for the rest of its natural life. Basically, a waste of money.

This bag is not big
This bag is not big enough for my 15 inch Mac Book Pro. I can't fit my laptop in the computer pocket. I have to put it in the main compartment at a diagonal. That makes it hard to carry other things. The Briggs and Riley website said this bag would fit a 15 inch lap top, so I'm disappointed.

Excellent bag!
This bag is well designed, and well made. It matches perfectly with my compactible two wheel roll aboard. I believe it will last a lifetime. My only suggestion is not to put anything in the outside pocket that cannot be compacted. Otherwise, it does not fit easily under the seat in front of you. However, if you don’t stuff, it tight, and overpack the outside pocket, it should go under just fine.

Easy access
We love this bag except i wish we bought the 4-wheel version. Became a bit of a pain at times when maneuvering around the airport. We used this bag for our trip to Europe with our baby and toddler. It held all the babies' bottles and formula etc. Easy access to all the items and all-around great bag minus the two wheels. Loved how easy things were to access with the wide opening.

Poorly designed and not a true underseat bag
I'm not a fan of this bag. It is supposed to be an underseat cabin bag, yet the wheels frequently keep it from fitting under the seats, especially when flying economy. I carry my in-flight essentials in this bag, and I often have to place it in the overhead bin, which makes it difficult to access in flight. Also, I use it along with my 21" Baseline Global Carry-On and the interlocking system is horrible! The wheels of the cabin bag always slip off of the carry on and I have to frequently have to stop to adjust the alignment. I'm very disappointed with this bag, especially considering the price that I paid for it.

Smart choice!
Just told my husband, “wish we’d done this years ago. ” We’d trek through the airport, shuffling the carry-on duffle from shoulder to shoulder and getting more aggravated with each step. Now we have wheels, glorious wheels with plenty of pockets to keep our stuff safe and organized. A smart choice. A smart look. A great value.

Interlocking Handle System is a Failure
The interlocking handle system is a disaster when you have this bag on top of the B&R roller bag. . If you hit a bump, go up a ramp or are on any kind of uneven flooring, it slips off and causes it to be unbalanced. Once it has shifted, it’s difficult to roll the two bags and it’s hard to get it back in alignment. I slowed my entire group down multiple times when I had to stop and re-adjust. This is my 4th B&R item, and I have loved the prior 3. I would not recommend this bag because of this feature, and I am very disappointed in my purchase.

Great luggage
I love my luggage. I’m traveling g more and more and it’s the perfect fit for me so durable and easy to move around the airport. I have 3 different pieces and I’m happy with my purchase
