I’ve been traveling quite a bit lately, and it can definitely be challenging to pack the perfect carry-on bag. The suitcase has to be the right size (must fit under the seat in front of you or in the overhead compartment), simple to pack (and unpack, while on the flight), be easy to carry or roll, be large enough to hold essential products, and be organized so that your emergency set of clothes don’t get wrinkled.
In addition, with checked bag fees the way they are, I’m finding that it’s much more cost efficient to actually only use a carry-on bag for short trips. But to do that, I need a rockstar bag!
Enter the Zuca – the Zuca first caught my eye at the Mom 2.0 Summit in February when my roommate used hers. It’s eye catching, because it also doubles as a seat. And, if you’ve ever waited in line for a bus, cab, or a rental car, you know that a travel seat is extremely useful!
But beyond it’s seating ability, this bag is build to work for you! With five organizing compartments, it’s easy to pack clothes and other essentials in a way that will make unpacking much more convenient. I also love the clear, quart sized toiletry bag that comes with it – perfect for storing all of those products that you are required to declare at the security checkpoint.
Not only does the Zuca have room for loads of stuff, it’s also extremely easy to transport. The wheels are high quality and offer a smooth ride, and there’s also a top handle for quick transport. It fits easily in the overhead bin, and it attracted lots of attention from my fellow passengers, who all wanted to know where to buy one. Click this link to buy a Zuca Carry-on suitcase of your own.

Sweet! Any chance it would fit in the seat in front of me? I’m thinking this would be fab as my carry-on and diaper bag all in one. Thoughts?
Audrey- I’m honestly not sure. It might, but if it did, it would be really close. We used ours in the overhead bin.
Thx. I’ll see if I can get the dimensions on their website and then check the airline dimensions as well. I have a daughter with oodles of food allergies so I have to pack my carry-on pretty full.
I wonder how much extra would anyone pay to have a bag you can sit on. The zuca is $200+ which is alot more then a normal carry on which ranges from 40-80 bucks for a budget model. Does the seat really make the bag all that better?
