The heart of our Shopping Cart is a traditional collapsible wire cart that has long been popular for trips to the grocery store, farmer's market, flea market and laundromat. It features the heavy-duty durability that steel provides, a clip in the bottom to keep the cart in the open position when desired, foam grip handles, and a sleek silver powder-coated finish. Assembly is remarkably simple - following the picture on the label, just slide back the u-shaped clip on the axle, slip on the wheel and the release clip - that's all there is to it! It easily accommodates a couple of paper grocery sacks or laundry bags, and is also convenient for storing and transporting toys, gardening supplies and pool toys and supplies. When not in use, it folds down to a slim 10" for compact storage and is free standing in the folded position.
Basket measures 12" x 14" x 18" h
Accommodates up to 55 pounds
A liner for the interior is available (sold separately, listed below)
For wheel-mounting instructions, see the assembly guide

Not easily manuverableThe heavier the contents, the less manuverable the cart is. I am a (mobile) professional gift wrapper during the holidays, so I was really looking forward to using this. In addition to not fitting into the second row of my roomy SUV (Highlander), the wheel base is different from front to back. So, while the cart may squeeze through a small doorway (or baby gate, for example) going backward, it may not fit in through on the front. I found myself having to unload all the rolls of wrapping paper into my car, THEN placing the cart lying down in the tailgate, then re-loading the cart when I arrived at my destination. Vice versa when I left... a big hassle.

Do not like this cart at all.I found it very difficult to attach the wheels and they still don't seem as stable as they should be. The main problem is that the cart is very difficult to maneuver because the front wheels don't swivel. And when you tilt the cart onto the back wheels to turn it, things fall out, and that also makes the handle too low to hold comfortably, so you have to bend over (and I am only 5'4"). I can only fit three grocery bags in it. After a few months I've decided to replace it, so it was a waste of money. Definitely not worth the price. I don't understand how so many people like this cart.

front wheels should turnI love the lightness of the cart and it moves so easily on a straight surface. The problem is that the front wheels do not turn and it can be cumbersome when loaded and you need to turn a corner.

BEWARE!!!!!I cannot understand how my experience could be so opposite than that of other reviewers. This cart is a piece of junk. The wheels WILL NOT stay on no matter what you do. The first one I bought I figured was just defective, so I took it back for another. It has the same problem. The store's answer was "yes it can be very difficult!". Well why are they selling it?
I am taking it to the trash dumpster where it belongs. If you buy one, don't say you weren't warned!!!!

Steel Shopping CartI am going to get a lot of use from this cart. I keep it in the trunk of my car and use it to get the groceries in the house. It's not too big. It's just the right size for me. And to my surprize it holds a lot of groceries. I'm glad I bought it.

Why did the Wheel Pop Off?I have had this cart for over a year, invaluable for shopping in my neighborhood to 2 or more stores... It's easy to maneuver, etc., but today, while crossing my apartment garage, I stopped to drop off some recycling, heard a little noise, looked down,and the front left wheel was on the ground, with a little small rubber thing (a washer?)... I took the cart back into the lobby, and looked at the good wheel then the one that fell off, and was able to snap it and the pin back in place, but now I feel that this could happen again... Is there a way to get a new left front wheel, and pins, or what does Container Store suggest.
Thank you,

So glad to have this sturdy workhorse for lugging laundry, groceries, and library books! A wonky set of shoulders has put paid to lugging all this on my own! Just wish it had swivel wheels in front (as the larger model has) for negotiating turns. Still, swivels or no, I'm delighted to have it!

Steel shopping cartI have been wanting and needing this item for some time. I carry alot of items in and out daily and needed this item. I have only had it for a little over one week, but have used it almost daily. I love the size as it is not too large to put in car. My only regret, I did not get it sooner!!!

Practical and LightweightThis cart is perfect for storing in the trunk of my car and still having sufficient room for day to day items and family stuff or in my small apartment. Since it is lightweight, you have to be careful handling it - don't bang it around. I saw a review of the wheel coming off - you have to secure them and make sure they are snapped in. I didn't purchase the liner, but it fits lots of items. By the way, the wheels don't turn.

Great shopping cartI bought this shopping cart to replace my old "Fernando" shopping cart. It was sad to see it go. But, this shopping cart is so light and easy to roll. I can push it one hand and it rolls over the bumps and crevices, without getting stuck. This cart is now wearing "Fernando's" name/license plate.

could be much betterI want to give this cart a negative review, but I have to admit that I have had it for more than 5 years and it still sort-of works, so I can't be as negative as all that. I find the cart wobbly and not very well made. The wheels fall off and are held on by clips that get lost which is a problem when you are at the store, however at home a hairpin will work to put them back. I find it to be too short for me, I'm 5"7" and not big enough for shopping for a family of 5. It does push nicely with one hand when you have to hold an umbrella in the other. Now looking for something bigger, taller and sturdier.

Helping HandI needed something to help me carry my groceries and packages to my apartment from the parking garage. I had bought one from another store and it was hard to fit into my trunk. My parents gave me this one from The Container Store and I love it. It folds up nicely and fits perfectly and out of the way in my trunk!

LifesaverI was in a major car accident that left me with permanent neck and back injuries three years ago at the age of 30. I bought this cart to take groceries from the car up to my apartment (via elevator). It maneuvers well, holds a bunch and has saved me from multiple trips while I carry one bag at a time. Lightweight and stores easily in my car's trunk. LOVE it!

This comes in so handy!I purchased this for my daughter to keep in her dorm room because I was tired of us having to lug multiple packages to/from the car. This cart is a lifesaver! It is really sturdy and has done a great job of carrying really heavy items without any signs of wear. We even used it when she moved to another floor. Best purchase I've made in a while!

Sturdy cartCart is sturdy, well built. Others commented that it is heavy--I disagree, it is quite light weight. It is easy to fold it up and put in your car. I did not buy the liner, so I cannot comment about how it folds with the liner. I use it to transport a heavy, oddly shaped pitching machine and it works great because it is deep, and well balanced. The one downside is the front wheels do not swivel making it difficult to turn without tilting it back on 2 wheels. Overall, a nice sturdy, light weight cart.

Great productMoved to the city, to an apartment for the first time and noted this to be an absolute necessity. Between runs to the laundromat to toting groceries to and from the car, it's fantastic! Assembly took less than five minutes and we couldn't live without it. Only downside--it only goes in straight lines so it doesn't take turns easily. Had it for nearly 3 months now and is quite sturdy.

steel shopping cartI bought this cart and liner two months ago. I use it for laundry. I am happy to have this cart, because it is very helpful when I go to the grocery store and buy some heavy stuff that I couldn't before. It is very comfortable in the public transportation because of size. This cart has a beautiful design and easy to fold .

Sticky wheels, too smallI love the concept of this and the padded handle makes pushing more comfortable. However, the size of the cart is rather narrow, so it's only ideal for transporting a few items from your car to apt. The other disadvantage is are the wheels, which only roll straight, making turning corners nearly impossible unless you physically lift the front of the cart up, which defeats the purpose of a smooth and weightless ride.
I read the instructions -- I pressed on the U-shaped clip and put the wheels on, but they slip right off. What am I doing wrong?
