Carry-on Backpack with wheels

[foozgarden]

Looking for the above from travellers who actually have and used them.

What's your experience with it?

Any restrictions from budget airlines?

don't see how there could be restrictions. it's basically a soft luggage with straps.

the only problem is the weight and the straps won't be comfortable carrying heavier loads over long distances.

mainly the weight..
like scoot is 10kg carry on.
jetstar is 7kg..
etc etc.
the bag sometimes by itself cld be up to 2kg, dep on which model

The straps are not practical- very uncomfortable to carry a box on your back with those straps. The 40L version just fits within Scoot's cabin luggage size limit of 54cm x 38cm x 23cm. The empty weight is already 2.5kg. Not much to go till the 7kg limit.

That’s what I thought initially but it’s surprisingly comfortable carrying with just 1 strap down a flight of stairs.

I wouldn’t trust anything lighter to be durable enough. 90% of the time this will be used in luggage mode. Probably only gonna use it as a backpack when you hit stairs or bad roads.

I don’t really see myself using one though. Probably better when you have a check in luggage so you can backpack it across overhead bridges when you need both hands to lift the main luggage?
