Too Short

"This is exactly what I need, but I am tall!
Having to push it bent over will not work!

Not for grocery shopping or city-living!

"I want to love this cart. I really, really do. It's cute and I like the soft grip handle. But overall the cart is just really not functional. I live in Chicago (in the city) and walk to the grocery store, and hauling this guy around is a pain.
First, the bar is really short. I'm 5"10, so I'm not unusually tall or anything, and I have to hunch over to push it. The handle could stand to be 3-4 inches higher. Second, when there isn't anything in the cart it is really flimsy and feels like a gust of wind would knock it right over.
Lastly, when it is filled with groceries, pushing it is such a pain because it won't cross over the lines in the sidewalk pavement easily, much less when you get to a cross walk. It's constantly a battle with picking it up over the lines in the cement or anything else on the sidewalk.
Like the other reviewer wrote, it's very easy to tip. You have to hold both sides of the cart (while hunching over since it's so short) and it's at the point it's just too cumbersome.
For laundry around the house or for light, small trips it'd be useful. If you own a car it might be helpful with carrying lots of bags or something. I just do not recommend it for grocery trips or people who do not own cars."

LOVE IT, BUT...

"Absolutely love the aluminum color and weight and construction. However, the handle is too low. It should be higher/longer. When pushing the cart arms are slanted downward, when they should be at a level higher so they are more in a resting postion while pushing the cart. I am not tall at all, 5'3" so it has nothing to do with my height. Otherwise, I would give this a rating of 5. It holds so much and the shape is wonderful. I also go the insulated bag which is fabulous and looks great! I wish I could keep the cart, but need to get something with a longer handle. I am so disappointed because I don't want to part with it!"

"I bought this cart for my folks who just moved into an independent living facility. This cart is easy to maneuver, light weight to handle, and easily folds for storage; my folks love it."

Great buy..

"I ordered this cart 2 days ago and I received it yesterday.
I was willing to pay a little more to save myself the anguish of the assembly.
The cart came fully assembled, ready to use. The quality was great. I already used it yesterday for grocery shopping, and now it's all folded up in my trunk.
This cart is the best..I highly recommend it.

It tips!

"Sturdy, lightweight, yes. But today, with a full load of groceries, it tipped at the first spot of uneven sidewalk, banging me on the shins and spilling the contents. When loaded, it will not go over the slightest edge on the pavement. The padded handle is a good idea but it's too short - I'm 5' 2" and find I'm bending at an awkward angle. Pulling it is no better."

Handy

"Works well for my purpose, moving groceries in from my SUV to the kitchen. It should last if one is mindful it has a weight limit of 30lbs. In other words no 20lbs of potatoes and two 12 packs of soda. Also not made to push or pull up and down curbs.
Handy and recommended for light loads"

folding shopping cart

"I love this cart. I did a lot of searching on the web for a folding cart and none came close to all the virtues of this cart:
lightweight, easy to fold and carry, sturdy, roomy, supports heavy loads, has rotating front wheels so it is easy to turn corners with it. And best of all it comes fully assembled. No muss no fuss. I highly recommend this cart for transporting laundry, groceries, and many other items.

Versatile, lightweight cart!!

"I purchased this for my mother in law who was moving into assisted-living to use for shopping trips and laundry. We were both impressed with how lightweight and easy to fold it was. It is quite strong and sturdy, the handle is very comfortable and THIS THING TURNS ON A DIME!! She has told me over and over how much she loves it. Would be great for many uses!"

could not live without it now

"This cart has changed my life, I am 72 on oxygen and now I have a helper, I fold it up and put into the car go grocery shopping,and when I get home load them into the cart and only have to make one trip to the apt , also when my garbage is ready to go out load it into my car and away we go, I set my oxygen bag on top with every thing in it and that gives me the freedom to use 2 hands plus not have to carry the 8lb tank."

Another cart

"I have bought several carts other places, and find a problem with each. This one is the most attractive. I find the swivel wheels a problem for three reasons: they don't easily go over cracks in the driveway, they move downhill on their own on a sloping driveway, and the weight of the groceries bent the wheels."

Navigates well!

"This cart navigates well due to the front pivotal wheels which most carts do not have. I used this cart a lot this past week finishing my move into my new apt. It is very sturdy. It does come with the bad smell as noted in reviews. However, I aired it out on my patio for a couple of days and now there is no problem."

Terrific cart

"This time I ordered two. I used my first one to death, repeatedly folding into my car. It iswonderfully light yet very strong. I this time I also purchased the liners and the thermal liner. The other great feature is that the front wheels spin for changing direction."

Score!

"Bought this shopping cart for my mom to replace a 20 year old one that has been garbage for the last 3 years. I chose it based on the reviews I had read about it. It was a big hit & my mom is now the envy of her shopping cart friends!"

Excellent Purchase

"This was an excellent purchase for living in my new apartment which is a midrise building. It's a very long walk from the parking garage and this cart makes carrying in groceries, packages, whatever an ease. Best of all I got the best price! I saw the same item at a different store for $25 more."

"It is very light and made with good material. The moving front wheels design makes turning easy. When folded, it fits in the car trunk perfect. We like it a lot."

City Shopper

"I just moved into a high rise in the city. I use this cart for groceries, laundry, and getting things to and from my car. So far so good. I have used it for two weeks. I hope it holds up to the (ab)use it will be getting!"

Great for parents

"I bought this to transport groceries to my parents at the Retirement Village. It was a lifesaver! At only 7 pounds I fling it into my trunk and can take everything to their apt in one trip. The padded handle adds to the convenience of the smooth rolling basket. Everyone asks me where I bought it from! Several residents have purchased likewise. Be sure to buy the liner to keep small items from falling out."

Great item

"I purchased this for my Mom, she had a larger version but it was just to hard to handle. She was thrilled when I brought it over. It handles really well, the "cadillac" of carts is what we both thought. I ended up purchasing the insulated liner because she wanted the top."
