20 Best Grocery Cart For Stairs (2023 Updated)

Works smoothly on flat service , bets her carrying a heavy basket laundry load, but a bit difficult to handle for elderly lady ( with bad legs) to accommodate her descending the basement stairs, either by pushing or pulling not has difficult ascending the stairs.

An easily adjustable handle would work mush better for someone her age. Also it makes considerable stair noise when traveling the stairs, granted better carpet would be nice in her older home, or softer wheels may reduce the noise factor, but it is what it is, as I have told her.

After rechecking sites on computer I note there are some out there with better handles grips and adjustable lengths; however, the price was not within my spending range All in all I personally would not recommend this product for elderly persons with basement laundry appliances yet in ranch style homes with minor (2/ 3) steps it is acceptable.

This cart is a lifesaver for me. Im 66 years old with arthritic knees. Grocery day was becoming a real pain (no pun intended) I live in an apartment building without a separate entrance so its a little walk from my car to my apartment.

Lugging bags of groceries inside was not fun. I can get quite a lot in here so its a big help. Then it folds up nicely to put away in the closet. Its sturdy enough – but not too heavy. But I would not call it heavy duty.

You get what you pay for, so for the price it cant be beat.

This product was not what we wanted. (A store employee ordered it for us. ) We didn’t need the extra wheels for stair climbing. They made the cart heavy and unweildly and difficult to store in the car.

Perhaps it would be good for someone with stairs to navigate, but we ended up giving it to Goodwill.

I recently injured my shoulder and have been unable to carry my tote bags back and forth to work. I ordered the Trolley Dolly in purple, and could not be more pleased with it! Everything I need (and then some) fits in the generously sized bag, the stair climber wheels are extremely helpful, the cart is well balanced so it doesn’t tip forward like many others do when full, it keeps my work totes inside dry if raining, pulls across slushy parking lot with ease, I now have no shoulder pain, and I even received compliments the first day I brought it in to work.

I’m also extremely pleased that the cart folds and fits in the trunk of my car, which is a smaller sized car. I highly recommend the Trolley Dolly!.

After shopping for products from t. v. since the 90’s, this is my very first review of a product. I purchased my Trolley Dolly Stair Climber, a couple of years ago through BBB’s mail order because the store did not have it in stock.

The Trolley Dolly deserves a review, albeit very long overdue. I purchased the Trolley Dolly to assist me in carting my things to and from my doctor as my spinal fusion surgery was not successful in alleviating my pain.

I use the Trolley Dolly to hold my handbag, sweater, water bottle, and at times allow my small service dog to ride on top. It saves me from additional back pain by holding all I need when I have to go out.

The Trolley Dolly has so many pockets for keeping my things organized. I keep my phone and cash for the cab in the front zip pocket, my house keys in the back zip pocket, my water bottle in one of two side holders, my dog’s treats and folding water bowl, as well as a snack for me in the Velcro front pocket, there’s also another zip pocket on the inside of the main compartment.

One cannot ask for more organization! Recently, I had a problem with one set of the three wheels and I contacted dibest products in CA. The CS rep was very helpful, but most impressive was how Richard Elden (co-owner who appeared on Shark Tank), handled my problem.

As a senior with a disability, I appreciate such a wonderful product as the Trolley Dolly!!! And, if Richard Elden is representative of the company’s Mission Statement, I understand why dbest products has such a wonderful product!!!.

I have had this dolly for almost 2 months and I don’t know how I have lived my life without it! My laundry room is in the basement which is down 2 full flights of stairs. I stuff my laundry in and push the cart in front of me going down the stairs and pull it behind me going up.

This dolly makes carting laundry SO much easier and without pulling on my back. I have no rips or seam separation from stuffing the bag full. The wheels roll nicely. I don’t care how much noise it makes if it saves my back- it’s really no worse than walking with hard bottom shoes.

In conclusion. I LOVE IT!.

This cart advertises that it can cart up to 200 or so pounds, which is totally misleading because the one page instructions indicate the weight limit is only 75 pounds if climbing stairs. This is a moot point anyway, since when fully loaded with groceries, pulling more than 75 pounds is probably very challenging if you have to walk a good distance with this cart as all the weight is on your arms and the back wheels.

I live in a 4th floor walk up in Brooklyn and was specifically looking for a stair climbing trolley that was durable, could hold a decent amount of food for a family of 3, and hold up well for my weekly trips to the food coop, which is 15 blocks away.

I already have two other carts that I use and like, but specifically wanted something that could help me schlepp my groceries up 3 flights of long stairs. During my first use of this cart, one wheel did pop off several times and it took me several tries to get the wheel to lock correctly.

The cart was seems sturdy enough and while the bag does not hold as much as my other two carts, it does hold a surprising amount and is fine if I am not doing a heavy grocery shop. But because there are no front wheels on the cart, it does not maneuver or turn that easily, and you always have to tip it backwards to move it any direction (unlike my Versa Cart, which is very facile and moves easily in any direction).

The design makes it very difficult to pull or push for long distances when heavy as it puts too much weight on your one arm that is pulling or pushing and the back wheels of the cart, instead of distributing the weight evenly amongst 4 wheels and the ground.

Going up stairs is easier with this trolley, but it is much easier to push or pull a traditional cart with 4 wheels on the ground.

Original Version of this worked as advertised. The canvas carrier held enough for my purposes; however when trying to fill it the lid kept falling down. Would be nice if the design allowed for holding the lid up while filling.

I had to bend the lid and tuck it between the handles until I was done filling and ready to close. Other than that, it worked fine, both going up and down stairs and folding for storage. When using it without the canvas carrier, it is hard to lift heavy things like cat litter up onto the deck.

Plus there is no way of keeping the items from falling off (no bungee cords or straps were included). Personally I have a bad back and have already had one hip replaced, so using just the deck of the trolley without the canvas bag is useless to me.

I am sure others with similar limits have this same problem. The XL version having the deck higher is great as you can place wider items on it; however, in my case that just makes it more difficult with heavy items.

For those without limits, I think the XL would be great. Redesigning it to have the canvas lid stay up while filing and including bungee cords and/or straps when using just the deck would make it awesome.

I hope someone is reading and listing to these reviews for future product improvement.

I decided to try this out as we live in an apartment up above our business and I am getting so tired of carrying groceries, laundry, etc up and down the steps(17 steps). I chose the larger size and though I haven’t had it very long, I really really like it.

It holds all my groceries so I don’t have to keep continuously going up and down the steps carrying them. One thing you have to remember though that if you aren’t very strong, filling it up, you won’t be able to pull it up the steps.

It does get very heavy when you put a lot in it. For some people the smaller version may be better. I love that the bag is detactable so I can put bags of kitty litter, dog food, etc on it and use bungie cords to secure it.

Also bought a small basket that I can bungie cord onto it for carrying odd items when don’t want to use the bag. The wheels just climb up the steps with no problem. Going down the steps if you have a lot of weight, you must be very careful as gravity will take it down quickly! Only thing I would suggest to make it a little nicer is “rubber” wheels as they are totally plastic.

Hopefully it will last me a good couple of years till I need a chair lift or even an elevator!!! ha ha.

I wanted to like this, oh yes I did! But I don’t because: The wheels started squeaking loudly, loaded or unloaded, after the 2nd time I used it. AND I’m not a total klutz but I have tried and tried and cannot get this thing to fold nicely, LIKE IT SHOWS ON THE LABEL OR ONLINE.

I can get the frame to fold, as it is designed to. But folding it with the bag on requires that I have to half-remove it, if I want it to fold at all. Even then, it’s just sort of smashed down and floppy.

And it does not stay together. Not what I had in mind at all. There’s also a foto of a lady carrying this on her shoulder. YOU CANNOT DO THAT WITH THE FRAME ATTACHED TO THE BAG. OTW, the frame construction is sturdy and the wheels are good on all surfaces.

I ordered this to complete a project. I have a large back pack basket and at 75 I didn’t want to carry it on back anymore, I had seen a similar basket that had wheels and a handle to pull it along. I found this trolley on BBB and the measurements were a perfect fit.

It’s great for the farmer’s market and sidewalk art shows! The other good thing is that I can easily remove my huge basket and just use the trolley. great for loading packages for the UPS Store and the Post Office.

Thanks BBB.

There are many things I like about this Trolley Dolly. One, is that main compartment is so large and will hold a lot. I use this item to help me get groceries home and running errands around town. I don’t drive due to low vision, so this item is great for me.

Another nice thing about this product is that it has seven pockets, which allows me to keep wallet and other necessities separate from the main compartment. I also like that this trolley dolly will hold up to at least 200lbs which helps when you carry can goods home from the grocery store.

The nonslip handle makes it easy and comfortable to use too. The most enjoyable thing for me living in Oregon where it rains A LOT, is that the bag sits up off the ground. It could be raining or snowing for that matter, and I wouldn’t need to worry about the bottom of the bag or the items inside getting wet.

I really appreciate that the most. Although this item can be folded for storage, I use it too often to put it away. The product is lightweight, large enough for getting things done, yet small enough for me to carry on the public bus and not be a hindrance.

There was only one thing that I found to be problematic, and that was the threading. About three weeks after having it the zipper to the pocket built in the flap/lid that covers the main compartment came undone.

It won’t zip now for me. I was terribly disappointed, because I wasn’t even rough or yank on it or anything. So, the threading could be better.

The bigger cart is wonderful. I use it every day. It is easy to pull. I cannot carry a lot without help. I have used it to pull my ober night bag for roa fd trips. I use the cart to bring groceries in from the car or anything else.

I use a second cart to bring trash out to the trash can. Has improved my quality of life.

This is the second time I have purchased a SMart cart. A friend where I live had been using the Smart Cart each week for grocery shopping. Here I was struggling with several canvas bags hurting my shoulders, arms, and hands.

I asked my friend about it and she said she had hers for over 2 years with no problems. She said the wheels had never broken or needed replacement. I decided this was what I needed and have had mine for over a year.

Of course I purchased it from Wal-Mart. The cart has a short strap handle and when the cart is collapsed you can carry it in your hand like a purse. I just put it in the grocery cart and pack my plastic grocery bags in it before leaving the store.

The van driver lifts it from the cart and places it on the van and also takes it off the van when we get back to the apartment building. The flat top will hold a large package of bathroom tissue or paper towels.

The cart has really made my life easier and I don’t have to hesitate when I what to purchase some heavy sodas, a gallon jug of milk or tea, or any other heavy item. It holds 110#s. I have thought that this was such an excellent purchase that I just sent one to my sister who was struggling carrying groceries like myself.

She was thrilled with it and says it has been a life saver since she has a bum arm from falling last year. The wheels do not swivel but I think that is a good thing because if they did they may be less sturdy.

The handle telescopes and locks into place when you are ready to pull the cart. You may find other uses for this cart since it is roomy. I highly recommend this cart.

this item is great for when you are going to the store and picking up little things, you have to be very careful it will tip over on you while you are walking and pulling it. The handle is OK but not that strong it should be made a little thicker to handle the weight of what you put in the cart.

I wish it had 4 wheels to balance it better, or the wheels on it were wider to go with the size of the cart. Also I wish the cart was taller so that it could hold more item Yes it is wide but the space is limited.

its easy to handle,the wheels make a huge difference

I had this cart in my country. In the presentation of the box is a man with 2 boxes. It depends of the weight of them. We used it to cary an air conditioner upstairs and with the second one the cart pulled my son and he fall down.

For the rest I dont have have complaints. Deslike that the two left in stock was the one I ordered and in the next morning the one left the price was less than mine.

Wish I would have got it a long time ago It climbs steps easy and over any thing in the way The bag that comes with it is pretty well made. And about the right size to bring groceries in. I cut a piece of wood and clamped it to the bottom to bring a case of water in and that works great.

You could just strap the water to the cart. But with the wood I can bring 3 cases in at a time.

Another gadget to sell from television, Doesn’t seem well made and may not last long. Would not recommend. I would return it but shipping on something this size cost more to return than it is worth. Will find some senior citizen to give to who may be able to use it!.

I bought this product for my daughter who is a freshmen in college. She has been carrying her laundry bag across to another building and struggles with groceries to bring in. I had it shipped to her and she love, love, loves it.

She said its easy to steer, folds flat and the back wheels make curbs/stairs much easier to maneuver. Arrived quickly and exactly as described.

I like the size and the heavy duty quality. I also love the ease of operation. I can go up and down steps without much effort . Using this cart has made routine tasks much easier for me.

Strong and well built. But it was sent in a box that was apparently too small to not allow protection for the wheels, because one wheel was broken. I hated it, but I had to return it.

This is my second Costway cart. I use cart 1 for carrying supplies from my daughter’s parking garage to her 4th floor apt. It saves me a lot of back and forth trips. It also saves my bad shoulders from aggravation.

Before buying cart 2, one time I forgot to bring cart 1 with me because I stored it in another car. So I had to make several trips from the garage up to the apt to bring all the supplies for the apt.

I bought cart 2 to prevent this from happening again. I use cart 2 to carry a basket of balls, blower, backpack, and 2 pickleball nets from the parking lot to the courts. This is especially handy when I have to park far from the courts.

Again this saves me from going back and forth to the courts and car. More importantly, this saves my shoulders! I love the carts because they have a large capacity, very light and yet very sturdy. I also love that they have spinner wheels that make maneuvering, especially in tight spaces a breeze.

Love love love this cart. It maneuvers very easily. Very well constructed. Very sturdy. Has four front wheels. With the exception of perishables, I shop for a month’s worth of groceries at a time. I can load ALL my groceries into the cart and make one trip into the house.

I bought a different cart last year (not from Walmart) that was a little smaller and only had two front wheels. Was not easy to turn. Didn’t hold all my groceries. Had to make at least two trips. And, the two front wheels started falling out when the cart was tipped backwards to lift into house.

It is super easy to attach the wheels. The swivel wheels make it much easier to navigate. I love the little extra basket to put my purse and small items in. The jumbo basket is exactly the right size.

It seems to be sturdy. An excellent cart! The only complaint is that in order to fold it up you have to take the back wheels off. That would be very easy for most people to do, but with my disabilities it’s a bit tedious.

However, I figured out a place to store it without folding it up. All in all, I’m extremely happy with the cart!.

I like this cart a lot! It’s large and can hold a lot of items. Very easy assembling and only took a few minutes. It’s nice the front wheels turn so handling is very easy. The handle has a cushion on it for comfort that is nice.

Folds up easily and has a little plastic hook to hold together. Plastic piece is cheap looking and I expect it to break at some point. The only drawback I have found so far is it is too large to fit in my trunk (Nissan Maxima) my car has a fairly large trunk so I found that surprising.

I have to put it in the back seat which I’m not a huge fan of. Overall I would recommend- nice product.

In the Northeast, I was on a mission to find a cart that could handle the snow & ice! After much research, I settled on this one. The wheels are made of real rubber, not just hard plastic, & that makes a huge difference in its handle – when “all terraining”.

The rear wheels measure approx 8″ diameter & 1″ wide, do not swivel, but keep the cart going when hitting rougher patches. The front wheels do swivel, however I was able to very easily push this cart “forward” (on all 4’s) & with little effort (they did not change direction on me!).

The assembly process is quite EASY. However, the following tool is required – PLIERS! The cotter pins (almost look like a bobby-pin) have to slide in & then they need to be spread open, with pliers, around the plastic end – hub cap.

This prevents the wheels from falling off!!! Everything else snaps into place: 1 – handle bar, 1 – cart basket, 1 – rear axle, 2 rear tires, 1 – front axle & affixed tires. The handle bar is ADJUSTABLE & this is the only cart, that I was able to find, which had this feature; it sold me, as a 5′ 7″ woman & extended fully up, it reaches my chest / armpit area! There are 2 lower positions, for smaller / shorter people, to access.

Since the cart did not come with a liner, I choose to purchase a heavier duty canvas one – from another retailer. It not only provides privacy, of items being transported, but also keeps things from rolling out & is waterproof! When not it use, I fold it flat (a built in clip holds it shut) & store.

Even though it states being able to hold 40 lbs, I’d not go over 30 lbs; this is to be on the safe side & for fear of the rear axle possibly giving out. The metal is of great quality, not being thin & flexible, but rather more of a solid wrought iron type.

This is my go to set of “wheels”, during the winter months!.

This cart has two features which make it superior to any others I’ve owned! One is it’s size, it’s basket is bigger than any others I’ve come across. The other, more important feature, is the diameter of the front swiveling wheels, which are larger than most.

This enables the cart to cross over gaps such as found with elevator doors and also easily go over raised door jambs. Carts with smaller swiveling front wheels tend to turn sideways when encountering these obstructions which stops the cart from passing over them.

The height adjustable handle is also a plus especially for someone tall (I’m 6’6″) like myself.

Very easy to carry with a load. A bit heavy on its own.I hope for the strength of the wheels in the winter.

Excellent article

super

It’s not really a big cart, I’m 5’8 and 3/4 and I have to kind of lean forward when I’m pushing it. one of the spokes that run along the entire car which is made up of the thin spokes came off on the way home I had to stop and try to pop it back on they’re just fitted in there they’re not welded.

The cart rolls very smoothly one of the smoothest cards I’ve ever had but when I took it out of the closet the other day one of the wheels popped off and I had to realign it and pop it back on since they pop on and off so easily you have to watch you’re not pulling it down the street empty and you turn around leave the store and one of the wheels are gone.

The handle is very comfortable to carry and or to push. I usually can put five 2 l bottles of Pepsi in it two to three dozen eggs bread a big bag of shredded cheese maybe some canned goods, a bowl of mixed fruit, two packs of chicken drumsticks, a bottle of coconut milk, two boxes of cereal bars, a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly and the car is pretty much full.

They really need with this car you have to have a liner don’t buy the cheap liners for $13 because they rip and fall apart I’m not sure if the $27 liner is any better but you need it because they’re wide spokes and everything is going to fall out when you’re going downthe street even if they’re in plastic bags they will drag on the ground and hang down through the big spaces and the cart is unusable.

Remember these things are being made in Asia by children as cheap as they can be made and china, that’s why everything falls apart fades is uncomfortable to wear most of us can’t get a pair of shoes cuz they’re not made for American feet they’re made for little tiny feet like children that are very narrow.

So it’s very hard to get anything good because China’s claim to fame is make it cheap and they’ll come back and buy it again and again and again and again and again. Where you’re up in the United States made things to last we put our best foot forward that’s why I made in the USA or in Germany meant something at one time.

I usually go through a card every 4 months at $35 only this one was a little more. But it’s not made any better. As we Americans become rich let us learn and take away one thing from losing all of our industry and giving it to overseas, start opening and manufacturing these things better make them made to last let’s get the pride back in the USA made in the USA by Americans not foreign cheap labor.

Im very pleased with this cart purchase! Easy assembly (less than 5 minutes!), lightweight yet very sturdy, and I was personally extra pleased with the smooth handle grip and the inclusion of a small clip to secure the cart in a folded position when stored.

Great item and a fantastic value!.

Easy to assemble. No tools required at all anyone can put this together absolutely anyone. Holds quite a bit of groceries. The only is Im not a fan of the turning other than Great product. Arrived on time.

I had a lot of hope when ordered however there are a few things that just don’t make this work. 1. The handle is to short. I am 5’3 but the height and angle of the cart makes pulling it painful. My partner is a foot taller and has to squat walk to pull.

2. The wheels spin and I can not see how this is a benefit. When pulling with all 4 wheels down the spinning wheels drag the cart around but keep the handle at right height. Tip it to 2 no spinning wheels and your arm is at a weird angle.

3. The cart is not designed to be stored with the insulated bag in it. We made work but it will likely break the latch if done often. All this said I am going to try and return to C&B to avoid paying return shipping.

I’m only 5”2 1/2 and the handle is too short for me. I’ve used it twice and I have to walk at a weird angle. The wheels spin and yesterday the cart spilled and I was carrying 12 liters of Pellegrino water.

Thankfully I bought plastic and not the glass 25 ounce bottles smh.

We like it very much. Front wheels are noise! I would recommend the front wheels to be a little bigger, not noisier and more soft. Do something to make it smooth. Our solution is to use only the back wheels while walking on the streets with it.

Need to include or come with an affordable black or lite color Cart Insert Bag with zippered cover or with many Velcro’s to really seal it. We had to by a larger one and redo it. The back axe was rotating loose and squeaking noise so I tied with two metal cable ties.

Make it ½ inch less wide to pass through the subway turnstile. Otherwise it is a very lite and an excellent cart.

Fell the first time I used it front wheels caused fall. hard to turn I am70 and wanted the big wheels to roll over certain bad spots but did not expect to have to wrestle it around corners. Would like to return it please advise.

The cart was extremely easy to assemble and worked perfectly. My wife really loves it. I give it five stars.

TranslateShow in original languageLa capacité est impressionnante et parfaite. Je n’ai enfin plus besoin de porter des sacs en plus de mon chariot de courses. Le pliage est facile, il se range dans un placard.

Le sac a l’air solide tout comme la structure métallique, je trouve la fermeture du sac pratique. Le chariot se manie facilement grâce à ses roues pivotantes et le fait de pouvoir le pousser est un véritable atout.

J’ai ou monter sans difficulté la montée saccadée du garage et le trottoir. Je ne me fais plus mal à l’épaule. Je suis ravie et le recommande pour une famille de 4 sans problème. Seul point négatif, le poids de la structure métallique mais c’est un détail face à tout le reste.

TranslateShow in original languageJ’ai reçu mon chariot il y a tout juste 1 mois, je m’en suis servie juste trois fois pour aller faire des courses. Très contente moi qui avais peur de sortir à cause des chutes et pertes d’équilibre, je me sens bien rassurée, c’est stable.

Le chariot est très facile à manier, se plie facilement. J’ai eu aucun problème pour monter les trottoirs et les 6 marches menant à l’ascenseur. j’espère qu’il aura une longue durée de vie. Je recommande fortement cet article.

So I have to say this hand truck was much better than expected. After reading other reviews about how it didn’t perform good on stairs I was very skeptical. But it performed good on stairs inside and outside.

All the good definitely outweigh the bad but I’ll list all the things that weren’t so good. 1. The little plastic things on the outside of the handle grips kept hurting my hands. But if you want to you could just cut them off.

2. Because of the three wheels it doesn’t turn so good. 3. Its pretty heavy and comes with no directions. I’m 100% percent glad I bought it and I’m very happy with the product. I very much recommend.

This cart will meet my needs for occasional use, but I would definitely want something better for everyday usage. Even though I am quite short, I found the handle too short to comfortably use it. I was so bent over going up and down the stairs that I worried I might lose my balance.

Another six inches or so would be very helpful. The bungee cord that came with the cart to secure loads was also damaged, probably at the factory, although it could have been damaged in shipping as the box was heavily mangled.

I needed to move a wardrobe sized-cabinet up a flight of stairs. This truck helped greatly. It is also very good and very stable for moving things on the same level of a home. The product is built for someone shorter than me.

The handles are too low. If you are over 6’2″ or 180cm, this might cause you discomfort to use.

Light, durable, attractive and much larger than I thought. I was able to load 10 plastic bags of groceries in the cart bag itself, 2 bags (bread, chips, etc) on the inner clips, and a 12-pack of soda below the bag all with ease.

Total weight was about 30-35 lbs. and the cart rolled with ease. Very happy with this product and it definitely exceeds my expectations. It’s also great for many other tasks from toting laundry to sports equipment to tools around the garage,.

Started out great! But after only 3 months use the lower clasp for the cover flap came off and the zipper on the cooler pouch broke. Biggest complaint is the quality of the stitching. The wheels are holding up very well, and I walk 0.

3 miles to 1. 4 miles to catch a bus. The handle could be a little longer so the wheel doesn’t hit my foot.

I had previously purchased one thru Amazon and the wheels would pop off all the time. so frustrating. But, I loved the size of the bag. This one however, the wheels stay on which makes my life so much easier to get to the second floor with my groceries.

I just wish the bag was bigger and had the velcro to stay down. I would definitely recommend it!.

I recently received this gem and used it within days of its arrival. Although I drive, I have a rule: anything less than 5 miles round-trip, I walk. (As a result, I look half my age, and feel wonderful!) I used my Trolley Dolly and went shopping, buying a tons of items, including 2 gallons of water and a liter of Pepsi.

I went up three flights of stairs with the groceries, and it was an absolute snap. So far; so good. It is one of the best purchases that I have made for a very long time.

This is a GREAT product. I NEVER gush like that. Simple, strong and it works. Snaps together in less than a minute. First thing I did was haul an office chair in a box up to my APT. 50 pounds. PIECE OF CAKE.

The stair stepper works! Nice.
