Exactly. There's no way you could fit one rollaboard per seat. You might be able to get half a bag per seat. Maybe.

I had a rollaboard and backpack on an E90. I boarded first and put my rollaboard up. The cabin was full, but there were a bunch of kids with no carry-on. So after they were all seated, I put my backpack up. In the future, my backpack is going in my rollaboard
