Comment on Chocolate McBrine Pink Ribbon Line Laptop Bag On Wheels by J. Barnes

I love this bag. Although the price here is far more expensive than Grand and Toy. Some proceeds go to a good cause so the cost is worth it. The bag has a ton of capacity and plenty of pockets. It holds a ton and feels like it if you need to carry it. The bag is a little bigger than I would like for airline travel but it does fit in the over head bin.

Two concerns. The handle is very flimsy. It wobbles and just feels "cheap". I'm not sure how it will hold up over time and I do plan to use it daily for school/work as well as use it for my carry on bag when traveling.

The second concern, is that the computer compartment has a strap that closes over when you put the lap top in. the problem is that the Velcro strip is very short so that you cannot close the compartment snugly, the computer moves around. It is well padded but I bought a lap top case to pack it in first as I was unsure how much shifting would occur in flight. A simple remedy for future updates would be to have the Velcro strip go all the way along the belt so that you can close it as tightly or as loosely as you want.

Other that those things this is a very good bag, a little on the large size and it will not fit under the airline seat. No problem in the overhead bin. For bus travel the bag is too big to be boarded in the passenger section of the bus and you need to stow it in the luggage compartment in the belly of the bus. Just a word of warning when you are packing.

For an everyday school/work bag this is great as it will hold everything you need and the price is very competitive with other brands. But the Amazon price, even the sale price is a bit on the high side. If you live near a Grand and Toy try there. I got mine for $109 Canadian. Rating: 4 / 5

I got this as a carry on bag. It is a good size and since it is a duffle it should stuff under the seat ok.

This carry-on is made of tough fabric. It has many compartments for storing items. The zippers are well made. The handle is sturdy, and longer than most. The inline wheels allow for easy movement. I would recommend this bag for school use or for travel.

We took this bag on a trip to NJ 2 weeks ago. It will hold everything my husband uses for four days–casual clothes. The handle collapses into its own zipper compartment, and the wheels roll well. The bag will stand on its end when desired. The front zipper compartments will hold your quart-sized zip bags. The bag is nothing fancy, but a good value for the money. Best of all, this bag conforms to the new carry-on specifications, fitting into the overhead compartments of small jets such as the Embraer.

wheels are too small and close together and rolls well only on very smooth surfaces

pocket design and capacity for legal carry-on size is very good.

I bought this bag on the recommendations read here. I was flying to Florida and didn’t want to check any luggage. This bag had plenty of room for everything I needed for a week and would be fine if you wanted to carry it as a duffel bag. However, if you plan to rush from your car to the airport and then through the airport to the gate, don’t plan on rolling with this bag. It wobbled from side to side so badly that I had to carry it, defeating its purpose. I thought maybe it was the way I had packed, so on the way home, I only packed clothes in the main section and bought a bag to carry my other things. It made no difference at all. If you want a bag you can easily roll through airports, don’t buy this one.

This item was described as a carry-on that fits in the plane’s overhead compartment — not even close and, by the way, it was not over stuffed. The first time I used it I tried every which way to make it fit but to no avail. Now I know how Drusilla felt with the glass slipper!

Great piece of luggage. My husband and I bought one last summer and then bought two more to give as Christmas gifts to our adult sons. This bag is the greatest for carry-on convenience. It holds everything we need for a weekend away for the two of us. Lots of pockets and an expandable zipper option, (just in case you bring back more than you left with and have to check it).

I own two of these–the first I happened to find at a discount store while on a trip and need an extra bag for the trip home. Have flown a couple of dozen times since, and have not once been disappointed. Have not had a problem with overhead storage; but as each type of aircraft has different overhead capacity, it’s always wise to make sure your bag fits within the bag dimension drawing at every airport. Once packed, I pull the straps tight… great feature! I check one of these on the free-baggage flights (aka Jet Blue) and unzip for the extra space; use overhead on other airlines. It’s held up very well, rolls and handles easily. Haven’t used as a backpack and have no need to; on occasion, my laptop fits perfectly into the front zipped pocket. Just ordered a 26″ for longer trips.

I am very satisfied with this product because I travel a lot, for varied periods of time, and need something that can be either expanded and checked, or rolled aboard as carry on. The fabric is durable and the hardware sturdy. The handle at the base of the bag is ideal for lifting the case into overhead lockers and internally there are enough compartments, and not too many, to keep my belongings easily accessible.

The backpack straps option is very useful for hands free manageability of multiple additional baggage so I don't find myself struggling with too many suitcases around the airport.

The only downside, in my opinion, is the absence of TSA approved locks which give you that peace of mind when you are checking baggage.

I was disappointed with the ordering process because the webpage showed that the product was in stock. In reality, it wasn't, which delayed delivery until AFTER I got back from the trip I had planned using it for.

Overall I am very happy. The item arrived in excellent condition and the price was very reasonable for what the product is. Rating: 4 / 5
