Can the wheels be taken off the luggage and use it as a regular bag or backpach (if possible)?

No. The Shuttle 32 does not have any built in features that would allow you to carry it like a backpack. Osprey does make other models of wheeled bags (their Meridian series, for example) that can be carried like a backpack.

No, the wheels are not designed to be conveniently removed. Nor is the pack designed to be used as a backpack. It is a large, permanently wheeled piece of luggage intended to be rolled through airports, parking lots, sidewalks and such.

I do not think so. I don't think there is anyway to use it as a back pack. I think it would be uncomfortable given its construction. It is a very tall suitcase and absolutely wonderful for travel.

you can take the bag on the plane as a carry on the problem with that is if somebody stuffs their carry on into the same compartment, you may risk damaging your unit.

I have not looked but I am sure that you can. If you have it on carpet the wheels will not be in the way.

William - the side panels cannot be physically removed from the bag, but can be zipped back into the trunk bag. Hope this helps.

Yes, it comes apart easily. The wheels are only on the bottom carrier--there are no wheels on the top smaller carrier. Much like a briefcase can slide over the handle of a wheeled suitcase, that's how the small carrier fits and is stabilized on top of the larger wheeled carrier.

Yes, pull the rlease pin on the handle and fold the handle. The wheels come off easy and store in the bag. All this can be done without tools.

Yes, you can, just remove it and leave the other part in the back of it. When you use the bag, then you remove that part.

if you don't unpack it from the original rolled packing it would fit in a suitcase that is a check-in item, not a carry-on

I think you could. if you just make sure you close the lid on with a clip that wont let it come off. We made sure it had a good clip when it went on a plane and you know how hard they are on luggage. I would say there is a way to figure this out with bungee cords or straps.

Yes. The wheels are very sturdy (roller blade type). Depending on your height it was feasible to roll the bag with the stroller inside. But not for very long since our City Select is rather heavy to lug around but the wheels make it better to move.

It can be removed probably easy enough although it was not designed that way so you will not have anything to secure the bag with once that center piece is removed.

You can take them apart. The bottom (bigger) carrier has wheels. The top (smaller) carrier does not have wheels. However, you can carry both at the same time via piggyback.

We checked-in this bag with the stroller. My husband didnt want to take the wheels off the stroller at the gate, which is what you need to do to pack it.

No they can't be separated. There is a panel that is inserted into the bag to keep them erect/open. If you want them flat, the panel would have to be removed. It is a rounded bottom though. The width of the handled section is about 5.5 inches. For the price, the bags were a great & easy commuting resource, but only if you balanced the weight on each side. Hope this helps!

It may be possible if you remove some of the other bags attached. You could probably do it, it might be difficult but I don't see why not.

Yes, though you have to take the rear facing attachment and the base off the foonf before you put it in the bag. Then you just put those pieces on top of the seat. It is a bit annoying since you have to reassemble the seat a bit at your destination, but the bag is pretty huge and would have to be even bigger otherwise, so I think this is a fair trade.

Only if the bag is supported on the passenger seat. The bag needs to rest either on a flat luggage rack or the passenger seat.
