When the baby was little and we went skiing, we had ski boots and bags and coats, her baby bjorn bouncer, food, you name it. I can fit her baby bjorn travel crib too. Those bags are TOUGH. and lightweight! Some of the big spinner suitcases weigh 10-12 lbs, which really digs in to your carrying capacity if you are watching max weights. The duffels also slide under beds for storage and aren't tall. Bonus imo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-luggage#post-2609773 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 10:06:19 +0000 Charm54 2609773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love spinner luggage. I can pull ours like normal with 2 wheels or use all 4 on spinners. It's especially convenient to have the spinners when you're lugging a bunch of crap and dealing with kids at the same time </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-luggage#post-2609762 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 09:58:10 +0000 PurplePeony 2609762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my Eddie Bauer rolling duffel. <a href="http://www.eddiebauer.com/product/expedition-drop-bottom-rolling-duffel---large/82302253/_/A-ebSku_0232253100__82302253_catalog10002_en__US?showProducts=&#038;backToCat=Duffels%20_%20Luggage&#038;previousPage=GNAV&#038;tab=gear&#038;color=116" rel="nofollow">http://www.eddiebauer.com/product/expedition-drop-bottom-rolling-duffel---large/82302253/_/A-ebSku_0232253100__82302253_catalog10002_en__US?showProducts=&#038;backToCat=Duffels%20_%20Luggage&#038;previousPage=GNAV&#038;tab=gear&#038;color=116</a></p> <p>I have the large size and I can pack myself and DD for a week (I'm neither a minimalist nor an over-packer).

I don't remember ever not being able to pull them on 2 wheels like the other ones! I tried to look for our set but they're kinda old so I can't find the exact ones. I just remember the spinning wheels made turning, etc so much easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-luggage#post-2609748 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 09:48:37 +0000 Mamaof2 2609748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Littlebit7: yeah I think a spinner would work great in an airport but not so much out on rougher surfaces </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-luggage#post-2609747 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 09:47:51 +0000 Mamaof2 2609747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: can you pull a spinner? DH and I were in NYC last weekend and trying to pull it was impossible and trying to push it on all 4 wheels on the streets of NYC wasn't working either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-luggage#post-2609733 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 09:37:37 +0000 snowjewelz 2609733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have spinners for carryon and as checked items!

I normally order them in a really loud color and have our last name embroidered on them; easier to spot on the luggage carousels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-luggage#post-2609687 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 09:00:08 +0000 lamariniere 2609687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just bought a rolling duffel. I like the idea of the spinner, but those little wheels just look so fragile. I would be afraid that they would be snapped off easily. I think they would be fine for carry on bags though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-luggage#post-2609684 Wed, 24 Aug 2016 08:56:23 +0000 Mamaof2 2609684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Which do you prefer a rolling duffel bag or a spinner (the ones that roll on all 4 wheels) </p>
