I need a shopping trolley................

[FAQinglovely]

I have scoured the MN threads on the subject - and there are lots and lots and LOTS of fantastic links to 2 wheeled trolleys. They're great, they're funky, some of them are really cheap......

BUT

I need a 4 wheeler, yes I know they're not as funky or trendy but having dragged nearly 2 weeks worth of shopping back with my 2 wheeler today (not as nice as the ones I've seen linked to on here I'm afraid) it's just not going to cut the mustard......

I neeed a nice, 4 wheeled, preferably not tartan one.........that's not going to cost me an arm and a leg.

Can you help me - I can only find lovely 2 wheelers and I nearly expired this morning dragging that shopping home on 2 wheels..........

this is great for old people

this ok?

Seona - that one is tiny - same capacity as my current one (30 litres).

2nd one a bit grannyish too with the handles.

However since posting this thread I have seen this and fallen in love with it .

It's not quite the funky look I was looking for (there are 1000's of funky 2 wheelers) but I still like it.

And I worked out that if I only did a fortnightly shop, a taxi home each fortnight would cost me £83 a year..........£51 for that trolley including postage...and I usually do more than 1 heavy load of shopping a fortnight.......

is on-line shopping delivery an option?

no - you can't get selected 2nds and stuff from the market online

I want a trolley...........

I love my shopping trolley - I have the typhoon zebra stripe 2 wheeler.

I think that one looks lovely and big, and you can justify the cost by saving on petrol, delivery costs, taxis, etc etc

Isaidno - I know there are so many gorgeous ones that are 2 wheels - but after nearly killing myself up the hill today trying to do a balancing act with bags on top of the already heavy bulging trolling I realised I really do need a 4 wheeler >>>>>

I need the inner space - I carried back about 6 bags tided to the top of the (already full) trolley. The problem was the weight of it. Trying to hold up the weight of all that stuff on 2 wheels was too much .

So what do you think of the one I like???? It's not too bad is it????

(as a comparison this is the one I currently have here

but it would pay for itself in just a couple of months......as I would no longer be paing £3.20 a taxi to get my shopping home.........

plus for a 4 wheeler with a decent capacity from what I've found so far in my searches it's not actually that expensive - and I like the idea of swivel wheels when I'm carting back a huge trolley full of shopping

damn you i now want to buy the huge 6 wheeler one! it is fab and well worth the money IMO (i say this as seasoned trolley owner who uses hers virtually every day)

SGM - I can only find one on JW.......and it's a 2 wheeler with a much smaller capacity........

oooo Franny - do you approve of my choice then (I know from looking at older threads that you're a trollyholic ) and know your stuff

I this what buggy-huns move onto when their dc outgrow the pushchair stage. Bloody hell, I'd better get pg again quick!

£90 for a 2 wheeler!!!!

mind you having said that I also found this

Eyeballs - DS3 is still firmly in his pushchair

(and tbh the new umbrella fold buggy we've just had to buy him just CAN'T take the strain of 1 weeks worth of shopping hung on it let alone close to 2 weeks worth )

it looks really good
i would like to see the size in rl though
and how does the 4 wheel type work? do you have to have all wheels flat on the ground? cos i drag my 2 wheeler and can't imagine having it upright all the time

yes all 4 wheels on the ground - but you can drag them from behind

you can drag them on 2 wheels as well

that wicker one would be ok to take your smalls to the launderette..
