Buying advice

When choosing a carry-on, consider the weight, size compliance with airline restrictions, and wheel type (spinners are easier but less durable in rough terrain). Hard-sided cases offer more protection, while soft-sided ones provide better organization with external pockets. Also check warranty length and customer service reputation.
