Our verdict

A small wheeled underseat bag for short trips and basic economy fares that only allow a personal item. It holds far less than a full carry-on, so it suits light packers.

Overview

Not a full carry-on roller, the Rockland Melrose is an underseat bag on wheels sized to slide beneath an airplane seat. A quilted polyester body opens to one large compartment, and a back strap slips over the handle of another suitcase.

Personal item fit is the reason to buy it, letting you roll a bag instead of carrying a tote. Space is tight, with room for a few outfits and shoes, and only two wheels so it tilts rather than glides.

Who it's for

Weekend flyers and budget airline travelers who want wheels on their personal item get a compact roller that stacks on a bigger suitcase. People who pack heavy or need a laptop sleeve should look at a larger carry-on.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Fits under many airplane seats
  • Wheels and telescoping handle
  • Detachable organizer pocket
  • Side mesh bottle pockets
Cons
  • Small capacity for longer trips
  • Only two wheels, tilts to roll
  • Laptop sleeve not listed
  • Soft fabric gives little crush protection

Performance notes

In-line wheels roll the bag tilted behind you, which handles sidewalks well but takes more wrist effort than spinners. The soft body squeezes into a tight underseat space as long as it is not overpacked.
