Luggage - 2 or 4 wheels?

callmechar

Going away, up North on the train in a few weeks. Going fro a week so need a fair amount of stuff and going with my daughter, aged 10. I am trying to decide on a 2 or 4 wheel suitcase. Can anyone help me decide?

I'd say a four wheel one, https://www.sportsdirect.com have some quite good No Fear hard shell 4 wheel ones, I was playing with one of them in their store earlier

The 4 wheel ones are very easy to push if you can afford it i'd pick one of those.

Some four wheel ones have less space in them compared to the equivalent two wheeled one.

ours has 4 wheels but we only ever use 2 wheels as once in trolley mode only 2 wheels are used.

4 wheels are much easier to push around. Also with some expanding 2 wheel cases, they will be top heavy when full and fall forwards...won't happen with four wheels.

I brought my daughter a 4 wheel set last yr, although in fairness it wasn't for the 4 wheels it was because it was VW campers all over them, she had 26in suitcase, trolley case, she used both on hols, with the trolley case for hand luggage, and she found the 4 wheel a lot easier to manage.

I tried it, and i found it better than a 2 wheel model, I would def say if you can get 4 wheel go for it, esp if you have to walk across platforms etc, more stability to them. x

4 wheels GOOD, 2 wheels BAD (- apologies to George Orwell.)

Would one of these between the two of you be big enough?

But it wouldn't be equivelent then would it.
You should go by capacity not external size.
We use Wakamatsu 4 wheeled, not light at 6 Kg but when you have virtually unlimited luggage allowance it would be rude not to.:T

Equivalent size including wheels for hand luggage is what I mean.
