A '''baggage sizer,''' also known as a '''bag sizer,''' '''luggage gauge''', '''cabin bag tester''' or '''luggage holder''', is a piece of furniture that is used primarily at [[Airport check-in|airport check-in desks]] and [[Gate (airport)|boarding gates]] to assist and inform passengers and airport ground staff of [[Baggage allowance|baggage size limits]] for personal and [[Hand luggage|cabin luggage]] or bags.

It usually consists of a tubular metal or hard plastic frame with one or two holes in which bags are placed to see whether it fits the baggage size limit as demanded by the airline. Some sizers are built with built-in luggage scales, which indicates whether the bag is heavier than the maximum weight limit. It can also be a cardboard device which shows the maximum size for the luggage.

As well as airports, they also exist in certain [[Train station|railway stations]] as a number of operators like [[Amtrak]], [[Via Rail|VIA Rail]] and [[Ouigo]] have personal hand baggage allowances.
