Thank you to Travelon for providing an Anti-Theft Revolution Underseat Carry-On Spinner to review in conjunction with this post.
Travelon is an industry leader in travel accessories, and I was very impressed with the Travelon anti-theft classic essential messenger bag that I purchased for our family’s 2018 trip to France and Italy. The messenger bag had outstanding anti-theft capabilities and kept my essentials organized while we were traveling. I wanted to try out other Travelon products and was thrilled to review the Anti-Theft Revolution Underseat Carry-On Spinner during our recent trip to Portugal. The Spinner fits under most airplane seats, and the Travelon Spinner outperformed our other carry-on suitcases in terms of capacity, organization, ease and anti-theft capabilities. It’s the only wheeled suitcase that we own that fits under an airplane seat. I’m confident that this Spinner is going to travel far and wide with our family in the years to come.
Travelon Revolution Underseat Carry-On Spinner Review
The Travelon Revolution Underseat Carry-On Spinner exceeded my expectations. This was our first underseat spinner and deceptively roomy. On the way to Lisbon, it carried pajamas and a change of clothes for each of my three children and me and also all of our toiletries, a Chromebook, power cords and our important documents. The spinner opens a full 180 degrees for easy packing and unpacking and features a hard-shell back and nylon front. It glided smoothly on its four wheels through airports in Cleveland, Toronto, London and Lisbon. I was certainly impressed with its capacity and well-planned organization.
When I was asked to gate check the Spinner during the short flight from Cleveland to Toronto, I didn’t question the attendant because I had not yet tested the Spinner as an underseat carry-on. Its dimensions (17″ x 14.75″ x 9″) were slightly larger than the carry-on size limit for Air Canada. I didn’t have any valuables or breakables other than the Chromebook, which was easy to pull out through the front pocket without even unzipping the entire suitcase, and the Spinner was waiting for me when I disembarked the short flight in Toronto.
We placed the Spinner in the large overhead compartment during our flight from Toronto to Heathrow, but it was a bit of a tight squeeze to fit it in. We tested it as an underseat carry-on for the first time during our flight from Heathrow to Lisbon, and it fit fine, even though I had packed it particularly full.
We really put the Spinner to the test on our way back from Lisbon when we used it to transport two ceramic bowls and two ceramic serving pieces. We had carefully wrapped them in beach towels and placed the items in the back compartment against the hard shell, but I was nervous about accidental breakage during our long day of travel. We had no issues stowing it under the seat during our flight from Toronto to Cleveland. I got home to find that voila, everything made it safely in one piece.
This video tour shows all of the Revolution Spinner’s features and capabilities.
Travelon – Anti-Theft Capabilities
The same anti-theft capabilities that kept our valuables safe in Paris and Italy are incorporated into the Revolution Spinner. The Spinner has interlocking zippers that are easy to fasten but also make it much harder for thieves to access valuables inside the bag. The zippers are puncture resistant and use double racquet coil chain technology. The front compartment also protects contents from radio-frequency identification. The fact that thieves could potentially collect credit card data wirelessly is pretty terrifying, and this feature is very useful on the Travelon handbags because that is where I typically carry credit cards, but it’s a great benefit here as well.

Travelon Revolution Spinner’s Exceptional Organization
The Travelon Revolution Spinner offers more pockets than any of our other small spinning suitcases. The Spinner opens a full 180 degrees for easy packing and features two main compartments, including one with hold-down straps for clothing and garments and another designed for technology. The two main compartments are separated by a divider that includes a laptop sleeve, three zippered pockets and two net pockets. These organizational features made it easy to separate items within the Spinner.
