Like most people we just bought the cheapest luggage that fit our stuff for our trips. It seemed each trip though wore heavily on these cheap bags and they would be inoperable quickly. After years of this we came across a sale on these luggages for $75 each. I bought one and my husband was so impressed he went and got another slightly smaller one.

We have since used it for three long overseas round trips and its doing great. Slight scuffs and a crack from getting thrown around from the airline. It doesnt effect the strength of the bag at all.

For some reason people stare at the bags though whenever we pick them up. They are either super ugly or they just jelly. It rolls so easy I make my 6 year help push one while we have our hands full with carry ons, car seats, backpacks, toys, and whatever.
