American Tourister Take2Cabin Ryanair cabin backpack (24 L) – 40 x 25 x 20 cm in Dark Forest green
Product description
What it is and why people buy it
The American Tourister Take2Cabin is a small “underseat” style backpack made for carrying hand luggage on shorter trips. It’s positioned around the Ryanair cabin dimensions idea, so the appeal is pretty clear: you get a compact bag that’s meant to fit in the lower space under the seat, rather than competing for overhead bin room.
In plain terms, this is the kind of bag you choose when you want to travel for a couple of days with essentials, keep things organised without fuss, and avoid the headache of packing something oversized. The reported capacity is 24 L and the weight sits around 0.40 kg (the listing text also mentions 0.50 kg, so it’s worth double-checking the exact figure shown when you buy).
It’s not a “big expedition” backpack. It’s built for everyday light packing, where zips, compartments and easy access matter more than expansion tricks.
The essentials at a glance
On paper, the Take2Cabin is designed around three things: the size, the layout, and the materials.
Size-wise, the listing states dimensions of 40 x 25 x 20 cm and describes it as a Ryanair cabin bag (hand luggage) underseater. It also flags an important limitation: airline rules can vary, so you should check with your airline before departure to confirm whether the size and weight restrictions apply in the cabin. If an airline uses different cabin size standards, you may not be covered.
For organisation, it’s described as having multiple compartments. That matters more than people expect on short trips: you’re not just storing items, you’re trying to separate “grab quickly” bits from “pack and forget” items.
Material-wise, the inner and outer material are made from recycled PET bottles using the Recyclex material technology. If you care about travel kit that leans more sustainable, that’s a solid talking point.
What stands out in day-to-day use
The biggest practical advantage here is the underseat approach. When your goal is to keep everything close and avoid overhead-bin dependence, a bag like this tends to feel more convenient on boarding day. Think: you can keep your smaller essentials accessible during the flight, then slide the bag where it belongs once you’re seated.
The multiple compartments are also the kind of detail that pays off when you’re moving fast. For example, you could keep toiletries in one section, a light layer and charger accessories in another, and leave the top area (if your layout allows) for items you might need mid-journey. It’s not glamorous, but it’s the difference between “packed neatly” and “everything ends up in the same pocket.”
What you may need to watch
It’s worth being honest about the limitations. This is a small S underseater, so it’s easy to run out of space if you pack like you’re going for a week. If you tend to bring bulky items, a thicker winter jacket, or you like having spare outfits for every situation, it could feel tight.
Also, the airline dimension/weight note is key. The listing explicitly says to check with your airline, and it mentions that they may use different cabin size standards. That means it’s sensible to treat the Ryanair-fit claim as “meant to match the stated dimensions”, not as a guarantee.
Finally, the listing includes both 0.40 kg and 0.50 kg references. That doesn’t ruin the idea of the bag, but it does mean you shouldn’t assume the weight is identical across all versions—check what’s displayed for the exact product page when you’re ready to buy.
Who it suits (and who should skip it)
It makes sense if you want compact hand luggage for short breaks and you’re trying to stay within an airline cabin/underseat mindset. You’ll likely like it if you prefer lightweight packing, value basic organisation, and want an underseat-friendly backpack rather than a rigid case.
It might not be for you if you routinely travel with more volume than 24 L can comfortably handle, or if your trips require larger clothing layers and spare shoes. Also, if you don’t want to be bothered checking airline rules before you fly, you may want a different approach—because this bag’s whole point depends on those cabin constraints.

Is it worth it?
If you’re planning a light 2-day trip and you want a small underseat backpack that’s set up with multiple compartments and recycled materials, the Take2Cabin is the kind of cabin-bag solution that can be genuinely practical. Where it really earns its place is when overhead space is a gamble and you’d rather keep your essentials organised at your seat.
But don’t treat the Ryanair cabin fit as automatic. It’s best viewed as “designed to match the stated cabin/underseat idea”, and the listing itself encourages you to confirm with your airline before departure. If you regularly pack beyond the limits of a 24 L bag, you may end up wishing you’d gone bigger.
