A trolley attached to a bicycle
A shopping trolley or shopping caddy 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. Designs have recently been sold by fashion retailers Zara[6] and Chanel.[7]
In some countries the trolleys are traditionally regarded as being used by pensioner-age women,[5][8] with granny cart being an American slang term for the four-wheeled wire-framed trolleys,[9][10] which are sometimes used without a bag.[11]
