A shopping trolley is basically a cart you wheel around to hold your stuff when you're shopping. It makes things easier on your back, lets you carry more, and it’s super handy if you walk to the store, are older, or just shop a lot.
Shopping Trolley Types:
1. Two-Wheel Trolley
Stands upright.
Pulls easily.
Small and light.
2. Four-Wheel Trolley
Stays steady; you can push it like a stroller.
Good for heavy stuff.
Lots of older people or people who have trouble getting around use these.
3. Foldable Trolley
Folds up so you can store it.
Great if you don't have much room.
4. Stair-Climbing Trolley
Has special wheels that rotate.
Makes going up or down stairs easier.
5. Convertible Trolley
Works like a hand cart or a trolley.
Some can even be used as backpacks or tote bags.
