The suitcase has a rear frame member, a rear compartment in which the seat unit may be stowed, two runner means, each having a fixed part attached to the rear frame member and a moveable part attached to the seat unit by means of a pivot arrangement, and a retractable handle to facilitate movement of the suitcase, the retractable handle being mechanically independent of the two runner means. When the seat unit is stowed the seat unit is pivoted to be in a vertical position and the moveable part of the runners is retracted inside the fixed part and when the seat unit is deployed the moveable part of the runners is extended from within the fixed part of the runners so that the seat unit may be lifted out of its compartment until such point where the pivot unit allows the seat to be rotated into a horizontal position for use. A trolley-style suitcase comprising a seat unit having two indentations shaped to fit the contours of a user's posterior affixed to the top of the case is also disclosed.
