Is two-wheeled luggage still available? [closed] - Abstract background with white glassy drops

The first luggage store I went to in Sydney only had four-wheel luggage, apart from a few weird monstrosities that hardly looked like luggage (it kind of looked like a backpack), and the store staff told me that two-wheeled luggage is pretty much unavailable nowadays. Is that the case, or is two-wheeled luggage still available?

I'm looking to buy in-store, not online.

Best Answer

They appear to become more rare. Even models which had two wheels are often getting replaced by 4-wheel versions, now often called spinners. It's a new fashion and they seem to sell people on ease of movement, despite being less sturdy, less space efficient and often heavier than 2-wheel versions.

Last time I went into a suitcase store, about 3 months ago, there were a few 2-wheel models, mostly for sizes below 25", so I ended up getting a hybrid with two large wheels and two small wheels 31". I can see the online storefront for some local specialty stores and department stores here in Montreal still offer a few 2-wheel suitcase, the keyword to find them is roller suitcase, although some 4-wheel results appear too.

Answer 2

Yes, two-wheeled luggage is still available from numerous manufacturers. Personally I use a Tumi Alpha 2 International, which is most definitely still available from Tumi, and this is just one of dozens of such bags from multiple manufacturers.

If your question is related to where to buy such a product, this is outside of the scope of questions that should be asked on Travel.SE.
