Luggage wheels encompasses a wide variety of wheeled luggage – kids wheeled luggage, wheeled backpacks, wheeled duffel bags and carry on suitcases and larger wheeled suitcases that can hold up to 50 pounds or more. The prices vary a lot depending on size, brand name, type of wheel luggage and where you buy the particular item.

Wheeled Luggage Bags:

Wheeled luggage bags, such as wheeled backpacks and wheeled duffel bags, are great for a holiday or vacation. These can often be bought quite inexpensively either online or at a supermarket, although it should be noted that online retailers often have a better selection and better prices as well.

If you are looking for an affordable wheeled duffel bag, then you may find the 32″ Bottom Expandable Wheeled Duffel Bag selling at Wal-Mart for only $26 to be a good buy. Another good buy is the Everest 330WH Digital Camouflage 30″ Rolling Duffel Bag selling at Amazon.com for $27. This particular wheeled duffel bag also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. For those who want a top of the line wheeled bag, a few options are the Cutter & Buck Performance Wheeled Duffel Bag, the Samsonite Black 32″ Wheeled Duffel Bag and the Navy RD Collections Rolling 36″ Duffel Bag. You should note, however, that these duffel bags cost well over $1,000; in fact, the Navy RD Collections Rolling Duffel Bag costs over $3,000.

You can also purchase a personalized wheeled duffel bag from a number of online sites. Wal-Mart sells them in blue, pink or khaki for around $40. If you want something higher end, then the North End Wheeled Duffel Bag selling at $89 on online retail site Usimprints.com, can also be personalized as desired.

Wheeled backpacks are also available from a number of retail sites. A wheeled backpack usually costs less than a wheeled duffel bag and you can find wheeled backpacks in all styles and colors. If you are looking for something casual or sporty, then a couple good options are the Nike Accessories Magenta Rolling Laptop Backpack and the Roxy Loving Sight Black Combo Wheeled Backpack. Both wheeled backpacks can be found at eBags.com and they cost $68 and $64 respectively.

Kids Luggage on Wheels:

If you have more than one child and want to take a family holiday or vacation, then having wheeled kids luggage is almost a necessity. Try to get each child their own small-wheeled backpack, duffel bag or carry on suitcase; if they are old enough they can even help to pack these themselves with toys, books, snacks and other items they would need for a long flight. Having your child then be responsible to pull their own small carry on bag allows you as the parent to take care of the other carry on bags or smaller children.

Many wheeled backpacks and suitcases for children feature well-known cartoon characters or superheroes. Whether your child is into Spiderman, Mickey Mouse, Nemo or the Disney Princesses, you are sure to find wheeled carry on luggage featuring the character or characters your child loves. It is important to be aware, however, that a child’s tastes will change, and often quite rapidly too. As children get older, they may not want to be seen wheeling a suitcase featuring a more ‘childish’ cartoon character. Keep this in mind when shopping for wheeled carry on luggage for children. You may want to opt for something good looking yet more generic in style.

If you want something colorful then one of J World’s Kid’s Sparkling Wheel Rolling Backpacks with Lunch Bag may be a good choice. You can find these for sale at www.luggage.com or www.shoebuy.com, although it should be noted that www.luggage.com sells them at a better price. These backpacks come in different colors and styles so it should not be hard to find one suitable for either a boy or girl.

Land’s End online retail site also makes some very nice carry on wheeled backpacks that are suitable for older children. Their Wheeled MultiTask Backpacks and ClassMate® StudyHaul Backpacks cost $70 and $60 respectively. There are a number of both boys and girls backpacks available in each model. These can be purchased at www.landsend.com.

For younger children, there are a number of simply adorable small wheeled backpacks with detachable stuffed animals. These furry, friendly backpacks are great for preschool aged children and can be bought in the range of $15 – $30. The Kreative Kids Rolling Backpack currently available at luggage.com for $20 is a hot selling item. You can get ones with a dog, ladybug, ballet bear, lamb, tiger, panda, turtle, horse, elephant, monkey or frog. Another good option is one of the many horsey rolling backpacks currently selling at online retail site Crazyhorsetack.com. These genuine chenille backpacks are warm and fuzzy and cost a little under $20.

Wheeled Luggage – Tips, Options and Prices

Wheeled luggage is a must for any traveler, no matter how many pieces of luggage you are bringing with you or where you are traveling to. Luggage on wheels makes traveling much easier than it would otherwise be. Prices vary depending on what brand name you buy, the size of the suitcase or duffel bag and where you buy the luggage from, but with all the variety on the market, it should not be hard to find something that suits both your taste and your budget.

Wheeled Duffel Luggage:

Wheeled duffle luggage can be a good option if you want wheeled carry on luggage that is fairly inexpensive and can hold a lot of items. While you can find wheeled duffel bags for sale at your local supermarket, these items are often cheaper to buy online via an online retail site.

If you need something affordable and are not particular about name brands, then there are many options to choose from. A particularly affordable option is the red and black 32″ Bottom Expandable Wheeled Duffel Bag selling at Wal-Mart’s online retail site for $26. This particular bag is good if you have a lot of items you need to carry on the flight with you. You can also buy a personalized rolling duffel bag from the same site for around $40. These large wheeled duffel bags come in pink, khaki or blue and you can choose whether to have your name written in script or block lettering.

If you would rather get something smaller, then Kmart’s online store is currently selling a silver and red 21 Inch Wheeled Duffle and an On Tour 21 Inch Wheeled Duffle for around $20 each. While having a smaller duffel bag means that you cannot take as many items with you, many people prefer to travel light anyway and would rather not have a large yet only half-filled duffel bag.

Wheeled Carry On Luggage:

Many people prefer an actual suitcase to a duffel bag. Carry on suitcases come in different sizes; make sure the one you buy is small enough to qualify as carry on or you will face problems boarding at the airport.

Wheeled suitcases do cost more than wheeled duffel bags but they are, generally speaking, more professional looking. A duffel bag is better suited for a holiday or vacation while a suitcase is the better option if you are traveling on business. One affordable and professional looking option is the Coleman Rugged 21″ Expandable Rolling Carry-On Suitcase currently selling at Overstock.com for around $80. Another site that offers a few good deals on wheeled carry on suitcases is www.jr.com. Some of the more professional looking suitcases selling on this site for a good price include the Kenneth Cole 5703405 Curve Appeal Wheeled Overnight Carry-on and the cobblestone colored Samsonite 18198-2310 Solana 22″ Carry-On Upright Suitcase. The latter option comes with a 3-fold removable suiter for packing convenience and is a bit larger in size than the Kenneth Cole model mentioned above. Both suitcases cost $99 each.

Children’s Luggage with Wheels:

Children’s wheeled suitcases are quite handy, especially if you have more than one child travelling with you. A small wheeled carry on suitcase allows your child to pack the items he or she would use on the plane (i.e. coloring books, puzzles, games, sweater and snacks). Your child can easily take charge of this suitcase, allowing you to handle other luggage items.

There are wheeled duffel bags, wheeled backpacks and wheeled suitcases made for children. Some are plain colored and others feature popular cartoon characters such as Dora the Explorer and Sponge Bob. What particular suitcase you choose would likely depend not only on the cost but also the tastes and age of the child. It should be noted, however, that while many children like one or more particular cartoon character, their tastes can change quickly and the character they like today may be intensely disliked by the time you travel again six months or a year down the line. Your child may not be willing to be seen with a suitcase featuring the character he or she previously liked; for this reason, a plain colored duffel bag or one with designs that are more generic may be the better option.

One good option is Personalized Pullman Luggage available from online retail store baby-gifts-gift-baskets.com. These wheeled carry on suitcases cost $38 each and come in pink and blue; the personalizing is done free of charge but takes time so you will want to order one well in advance of your trip for it to arrive on time. There will also be personalized wheeled backpacks selling on this site for $29 starting at the end of August 2010.

Another wheeled luggage option for children is the Zebra Crossing Club wheeled backpacks selling at Luggage Pros for around $50. There is both Simba the Lion and a cute Kangaroo; the stuffed animals and backpack itself are detachable and both can be machine washed as needed.
