To buy an old lady shopping trolley?

I have one. I call it my granny trolley in a cool, ironic kind of way. Couldn't do without it.....

Mine does have rubber wheels, it's very quiet, no embarrassing clanking and rumbling along the pavement like some of those suitcases on wheels!

I bought one this summer.for going out and about with the kids. My back just couldn't take anymore. My sister bought one 5 days later. Brilliant for picnics and all the other stuff you have to lug about. The kids love pulling it too!

Hey I am 54 years young and have one! I need to. I do not have a car. I walk back from the local shops (not so far away) but it is better than plastic bags digging into your hands! That is if I remember to take the bloody trolley in the first place!!!!!

Never thought of getting one but really... it opens up a world of possibilities. My mind is blown.

Yanbu.

Haha death so instead of smacking yourself on the forehead at till like "BAGS" you go "GRANNY TROLLEY"

Yanbu.

I've been considering getting one since the pushchair went. But it has to be trendy .

I have flirted with this idea for a few years, I don't drive and life would be so much easier but nope I keep chickening out. Round these parts you see nobody under 60 with them, not even the funky modern looking ones. I'm about to need a pram again soon so the decision has been taken out of my hands for a while. I have bought an Uppababy Vista which has a HUGE basket.

You can also put a tantrummy three year d in one and wheel them round the shops

Ikea does them although when I got mine DP said 'oh I see you are embracing your inner old lady... '

I'm on my second one! NO ONE where I live uses one, but I don't give a shit
I second the rubber wheels. I tell folk round here that caddies ( not old lady trollies thank you) are quite the thing in that London. Because they are! Tout Le Hackney has them !

That's it, I've heard enough. I'm getting one.

I've got one, I'm 36 and asked DH to get me one for my last birthday. my arms are eternally grateful

Actually I'm 37, forgot how old I was

I have one he's called Trevor .

Oh and I also have one with rubber wheels, it makes for a smoother quieter ride.

So, are those expensive Rolser ones worth the money, then?
I'd be happy to invest if they lasted well.

I did not actually buy anything earlier

Pacific! You bastard, I bought one because you said you did. I think mine has rubber wheels.

I'm nervous that I'll be too scared to use it.

So sorry, I did not mean to mislead you…

I think they're so useful if you shop and walk.

I would still feel like a twat though.

I hate them, when the old biddies get on the bus they take up all the front seats and it makes it hard for my buggy to get on. I never seen anyone under the age of 40 using a trolley.

Well learn to fold your buggy at the bus stop, just like the 'old biddies' did back in the day

I'd feel quite proud with mine
But then again 'when I am old I will wear purple'

Old biddie - I won't be an old biddie even when I'm an even older lady

OK I'm forty next Friday so think I qualify for one. Plus my 3 year old is out of the pushchair and I miss the basket soooo much !

I can't find one with rubber wheels though that's not criminally expensive ?? Help anyone ?
Reccomedations ?

Sod 'The Nest Of Vipers'.

Let us become 'The Young Biddies'.

In fairness to Rebecca2014 some of the local people have been a pain in my area on buses with their shopping trollies - I'll always remember being 8 months pregnant in the blistering heat of a London Summer and having to stand on the bus even though there were plenty of seats. I couldn't get to the seats because the gangway was blocked by the shopping trolleys. Plus there are no specified spaces on London buses for them, the area is a wheelchair priority and that is when someone is expected to fold up their buggy. I have one and am considerate about how I use it!
