I recently was sent the Samsonite Stryde suitcase to review. I was excited because a. love Samsonite suitcases and b. needed a medium-sized suitcase. To preface, I am of the school of carry-on. For years, I have always managed to travel with a carry-on, to the cost of not bringing souvenirs home or having to wear three variations of the same outfit! Last year, I managed a trip to Belgium, Netherlands, and Sicily, 7 months pregnant with a carry-on. It\u2019s just my thing. However, with a baby in tow, life changes a bit. With baby, car seat, and stroller, adding a carry-on to the mix seemed a bit excessive to me. This is where my Samsonite Stryde came to the rescue.<\/p>\n

Samsonite Stryde: The Design<\/h2>\n

I tested the Samsonite Stryde both on a road trip and my most recent trip to Colombia. First, I really like a square and wide design. I feel that it fits better in our car than the long, rectangle luggage. The outside is a hard-case with a stylish ridge design, which makes it stand out on the luggage belt. I got a lot of compliments from the bell hops at the many hotels that we stayed at. They see a lot of bags, so I consider it a compliment!<\/p>\n
