Best grocery cart for city busses? (self.Blind)
submitted by Opa1plus
I just moved to a town with FANTASTIC public transit. The grocery stores are on the other side of town and I’m looking for a good grocery cart that can handle the busses.

There is a small grocery store about a half mile from my apartment but it’s on bottom end of a hill so a grocery cart would also ideally be able to handle hills well enough but it’s not a must.

Most places in town do not allow backpacks inside so I can’t just load stuff in mine.

Are the buses wheelchair accessible. I ask because those tend to have wider spacing.

I have had one we just bought it from chinatown somewhere. And it held up pretty well was a small basket but yeah. It had it’s own hassles though.

I got this one and it’s held up pretty well.

How well do you think it climbs stairs? The bus stairs are my biggest annoyance in the past but I now live in a third story walk up and it would be a dream if it could handle normal outdoor stairs too!

Oh it’s done great on stairs. The place I get my pet supplies from there is a staircase I use and it works just as advertised by rolling right up & down them with 40lbs of dog food or cat litter plus some groceries. Goes easily over curbs if you don’t hit them crooked. I have flipped sideways because of miscalculation before and it does not like rounded ones at all; otherwise I’ve been pleased. Says it holds something like 150lbs but I went to the warehouse club and loaded it down with drinks and frozen foods and it was a pain to turn but otherwise rolled well & got up the bus stairs relatively easily given the weight. I may have been right at or exceeded the weight limit that time.

My experience with grocery carts is they don’t hold up very well after a while unless you spend 50 $60 plus or something of decent quality otherwise a weight bearing backpack is the easier way to go, we’ve never had any carrying trouble a backpack in a grocery store usually just took it off the back and stuck it in the bottom of a grocery cart while shopping and loading it up after paying for purchases.
