A shopping caddy or shopping trolley is a large bag on wheels, [1] [2] [3] [4] used for carrying a large amount of shopping home on foot. [5] The bag is typically made from a waterproof fabric, and wicker basket designs are also sold. [5] The trolleys commonly have two parallel wheels on a hand truck style frame (with a handle and stand), but some designs have four or six wheels.
In some countries the trolleys are traditionally regarded as being used by pensioner-age women, [5] [6] with granny cart being an American slang term for the four-wheeled wire-framed trolleys, [7] [8] which are sometimes used without a bag. [9] In the UK they are known as a granny trolley and are available in foldable versions. [10] In 2023, the Farino Carrier with rollerblade wheels was pitched as a unique new product on Dragons' Den.
