There are several factors to consider when choosing a suitcase with 2 or 4 wheels.
However, it is worth noting that you will only have such a choice when buying a small suitcase as hand luggage, since neither medium nor large suitcases on two wheels are produced anymore.
- More stable on uneven surfaces and easier to handle on pavement;
- Requires little effort to move forward;
- Could be stronger as the wheel mechanisms are inside the suitcase.
However, such suitcases have some drawbacks:
- Steps and sidewalks are inconvenient because you have to roll your suitcase on two wheels;
- When carrying long distances, the hand can quickly get tired, since all the effort is on the handle;
- May be unstable if weight is unevenly distributed.
- Rolls easily in any direction, doesn't take much effort to move;
- Convenient when moving around airports where there are many straight sections;
- Less damage to the handle as it is not subjected to heavy stress.
But these suitcases also have disadvantages:
- Inconvenient to move on uneven roads and stairs;
- The wheels are on the outside, making the suitcase less durable;
- May be unstable on rear wheels if weight is unevenly distributed.
In general, the choice between a suitcase on 2 or 4 wheels depends on how often you move with a suitcase, on what surface you will roll it and what weight and suitcase size you need. If you need a suitcase for long trips with a lot of things, then it is better to choose a suitcase with 4 wheels. If you need a suitcase for short trips, where you need to climb a lot of stairs, then it is better to choose a suitcase with 2 wheels.
