I'm in a wheelchair & use the city's Handi-Ride to get groceries. Will I have any trouble using this cart?

No problem easy to use but the front wheels make it very noisey when going down the street like a shopping cart so I wrapped electrical tape around it(thats all I had) the back wheels are rubber , thats the only down fall , I got on and off max with lots of groceries(it holds alot)with no problem hope that helps

I am not in a wheelchair; yet it isn't easy to handle this cart. But I saw a similar one at the Container Store in Manhattan. It looked the same but noticed it had a different type of wheels; I tried it in the store and didn't feel it was willy-nilly like Polder's. Look for type of wheels and try out yourself. All I can say is that I won't buy Polder's with the kind of wheels the cart has. Hope my answer was helpful.

Not sure what Handi-Ride is but if your wheelchair gets on it okay you shouldn't have any trouble with this cart it's very lightweight and easy to guide. Not great getting up stairs with a load though. I love mine.

Hi. No, you won't have any problems. The wheels are smooth, front wheels turn a 360. The only caveat is to not load it with more than three bags. One of the wheels got messed up going over a large bump in the sidewalk.

Maybe. I thought I would use it to pull groceries into my apartment building, but I use a walker and found it awkward to push the walker with one hand while pulling the cart. Suggest borrowing a cart first and experimenting with the cane and cart. Putting the laundry in a dufflle might be less awkward.

no but I have used it several times on the cart and I've never had an issue with it moving around

I dont have any problems w/ the drawers or with movability. I have loved this cart.

The cart will allow up to 200 pounds, but the handle is not bent or offset so it will touch the sides of the trash cans. If you need to move the cans when full, this may not be the best choice for that simple reason. A taller handle with better finger clearance would be a great design upgrade to this otherwise very good hand truck.

Nope. It has to be pushed by someone, since the wheels are small unlike a regular wheelchair

Yes. For me, I'll say it depends on your own strength and balance rather than the strength of the cart/wheels. I have found much easier to carefully wheel it down steps. The problem is how heavy the load is and being careful you don't fall down. The great thing is, the liner has heavy duty handles, so if you are able, you can lift a full cart up or down a few steps.

Yes. Keep in mind that the bottom "platform" is not real big so you need to tilt the cart back to get going. The bars are great as it keeps large items from falling through. We use it to transport large bags of bark etc. around the yard.

No, the wheels do not pivot which can make the cart hard to maneuver in tight places but I haven't found it really difficult to work even when it is full.

It isn't a problem because the cart is small and light so one can take it on board and place it under the seat or in the bin ....it is a big helper for transporting light luggage ....I recommend it without any doubt !!!!

Maybe if you remove the wheels. It's a sturdy cart, but not a steady cart. Moving a big TV around might be problematic.

I use mine mainly for groceries. My apartment is a good distance from my parking spot so I just take the cart with me and load up the groceries. With the lighter delicate items, I just tie them to the outer handle. We load any square or heavy items, such as water or soda, onto the bottom rack. Then we put the rest of our groceries inside the mesh on top of the heavy items. It also works great for Christmas gifts!

I have not used the cart but my stepdad has. I asked him about the handle and if it was too short and he said no. He is extremely happy with the cart and uses it almost everyday at the beach.

I wouldn't be able to use it sitting in my wheelchair because the peddles are too high and the peddles scoot away while in use. I wish I hadn't bought this.

Hello, 1) only apply pressure in a scrubbing motion for specific stubborn spots (dried foods etc) 2) it is not heave, but the handle is not adjustable for height, I think you should be ok using from the wheelchair. 3) it unfortunately does not stand on its own because of the swivel head.

Absolutely. You would need someone to push your cart. However, you can sit if tired or need to see something on the bottom shelf. Good for mall walking, park or just down the street. Good for shortness of breath.

I would use my hands all the time. Keep your good foot on the footrest. It is safer there. I never use my leg to propel the wheelchair. Doesn't work all that well that way. Wheels easily using your hands on the larger wheel. Good luck. Hope you heal quickly.
