Calpak small diaper bag - it converts to shoulder. Caraa also has diaper bag free people partner sells now but I like the size of former.

Mz wallace is great but more purse and shoulder for me.

I'm not as hot on beis stuff - I like more comfy stuff.

Go through eBay and Poshmark and some older styles that will be cheap may turn out best style for you

I just use the LL Bean backpack I’ve had forever. It’s durable & comfortable to wear through the airport.

Don't travel much?

Each passenger is only entitled to space for one bag in the overhead.


Travel by air almost every week. While I stick to one carryon, 99% of people ignore the only one bag in overhead "rule".

Knack Pack ! Medium or large. Though a warning that the large one may be involuntarily checked if you’re flying on a European airline from one EU country to another. The large is probably just a smidge too large for 100% underseat

We've been traveling in Europe, mostly carry on for the last several years. I've tried out many of the smaller bags that will sit on top of my Tumi roller bag. Occasionally the smaller airlines will make me check the roller bag and then I'm stuck dragging around a heavy bag that hurts my shoulder.

I've found a bag that I love because it's a backpack and can go over both my shoulders. The best part though is that you can lay it flat and completely unzip it. (You have to go the website to understand what I'm describing.) I didn't like most bags because they ended up being just a big pit that I had to dig around in to find anything. You can also expand and contract the bag so it really fits any type of trip. I also don't use the hanging closet thing that comes with it.

The bag is the Solgaard Atlas Backpack and it's $225. The company's roller bags haven't gotten amazing reviews, but the backpack is great.

I've been using this package backpack. It fits easily under the seat. Material is nylon, wipes clean. Opens like a doctors bag. Works for a weekend trip and everyday.

I don't care how nice it is. It is at least $400 overpriced.


We have a lot of Tumi luggage but even I wouldn’t pay $475 for this. Plus it’s ugly.

If you're determined to do this, find something washable.



You should consider just staying in your sterilized and hermetically sealed environment. You would have a stroke if you had any clue how dirty this world is by your standards.

Lol it’s Baggalini! Sorry. God, baggalini is worse somehow. But the logo is tiny.
