The Original VersaCart Transit Folding Shopping and Utility Cart, Water-Resistant Heavy-Duty Canvas with Cover, Double Front Swivel Wheels, Compact Folding, Transport Up To 120 Pounds, Signature Blue

This cart is easily one of the best purchases I have EVER made!! We live in an apartment and the hassle of making multiple trips up and down the elevator to get groceries upstairs is just not funny or fun. Bags ripping, my back breaking ... a sorry deal all around! Previously we had those wire mesh carts which got the job done but they were difficult to handle (not the best wheels rolling there) and the solid shape made it more difficult to fit certain items, plus they did not support much weight either so while helpful, definitely not ideal. When I got tired of exhausting myself with grocery transportation (where are your kids/ husband when you need them?!), I set out to find the very best possible cart on the market so of course I headed to Amazon :)). After falling into a semi-trance looking at page after page of the usual suspects, the Versacart caught my eye and I was instantly alert. My heart skipped a few beats and I forgot to breathe as I read the description, thinking "can this really be The One?!". It was just too good to pass up and while a bit pricey, I decided to order it and see. When my cart arrived I immediately unpacked it (so easy!) and surveyed it. Great material (so thick!), excellent maneuverability (wheels glide so smoothly!), and sooooo light (yet incredibly sturdy!)! I was definitely getting excited by then ;)). That evening I set out to get the motherload of groceries as I couldn't wait to put it to the final test. Jumped out of the car once in the garage and set out to transport my groceries upstairs. Thrilled with how easily the cart unfolds and how much stuff I could fit in it! 120 lbs is definitely doable. I loaded the cart to the very top, hung additional bags over the handles and voila -- what would have taken me 3 or 4 trips and much effort to get upstairs would get done in one pass. I started pushing the cart half expecting it to groan but no, a bit of a push and we were on our way. No awkward walking angles as the wheels roll 360 degrees and not a sense that my cart would fall apart. I made it upstairs effortlessly and not exhausted for once; I was thrilled! This was definitely THE BEST. I bought one for my mom too amidst much protest from her but now that she has it, we still laugh on the phone sharing stories about how much we love this cart and how we find ourselves cracking up alone or smiling like fools when we use it, walking around like models on a runway and hoping someone sees us and asks about the carts so we can gloat about them, lol. This item has seriously increased our quality of life significantly and we believe everyone in the world should have one. Yes, EVERYONE. I dreaded grocery shopping days before Versacart but now it's a breeze. I just cannot believe I didn't find this item before -- would've saved us soooooo much trouble, energy, exasperation, backaches, etc.! The only CON I can think of, if anything, is that when the cart is heavily loaded the handles feel a bit wobbly, but even then it performs perfectly and nothing has broken off or fallen apart even after the rigorous use I've put it through so just keep it in mind when you buy this product. The handles are sturdy and will not come off or break when heavily loaded even if it feels like they might to you. I've put this cart to heavy use over the past 3 months and it still works perfectly and looks brand new. I don't think I'll ever be without one of these, fantastic investment!

Updated review: I purchased this cart last year for a relative, and just purchased a 2nd for another relative. Both live in senior apartment buildings, and need something to get their shopping purchases from the parking lot all the way up to their apartments. It does the job perfectly. We love how lightweight and easy to fold it is. When it's folded, it's like an umbrella stroller and easy to carry. It's very lightweight, and there's a strap with a snap to keep it folded close - both features that make it easy to get in and out of car trunk. With a comfortable handle height and front wheels that swivel, the cart is very easy to maneuver. The fabric is a very sturdy canvas. While the bag part of the cart can be removed from the frame, we never need to do that. There is an attached lid/top that can be flipped over to keep the cart bag totally covered if needed. One of these is brand new and the other is a year old and so far has held up very well.

It's a 6 stars item. I've been using Versacarts for the past 11 years. They used to be available through many many vendors, online and in person; then Covid hit and it became impossible to find any by either method. I use Versacart merrily as an assistive device -instead of a walker-. People stop me asking questions as to the practicality of the cart: loading with groceries, packages, easy to maneuver, oh! and do you put your dog in it? I always have 4 of them. One in the house, one in the car, one to walk from my front door to the landing and one to then walk to the car. The last one I ordered came in black. I prefer navy blue. There used to be a red one as well. So imagine my surprise and happiness when I saw it on Amazon!!! Ordered! When it came, another surprise! It was fully assembled and the only thing needed was for me to click in place the 2 other wheels. Easy as pie. Surprise #3:it is taller then the other ones by a few inches. I realize that my writing this glowing review I will encourage more sales which, in turn, might be detrimental to its future availability? Hope not as I plan to order again and again. Enjoy! P.S.: when I travel by plane, I bring it all the way to the front door of the aircraft; as one would with a baby stroller, and it is then placed in the belly of the aircraft reappearing upon arrival along with the strollers. I place signs on each handle saying Fragile Handle with Care. Always arrives intact. Before boarding you’ll need to have a tag attached to it as if it were luggage (for tracking)

I cannot recommend this cart more then I already do! When I am traveling on a City bus or subway train I am always asked where I got my cart and asked how well it works! I tell everyone I see with a cheap cart about this cart and how wonderful this thing truly is! It rolls like a dream, like a warm knive on butter, just terrific! It has a cover to protect your goods from the weather which is a life saver when its raining or snowing out and you want to keep your groceries from getting wet, also keeps the sun directly off it! Its sturdy as can be! Doesn't make a lot of noise! Easy to take on bus or train and functions like it should, holds a ton of groceries so you can store so much in it! And lastly I really did enjoy the color but its like the last thing you really should care about. I wouldn't be thorough if I didn't say it was easy to put together too! Only thing I regret is buying two so my wife and I could take two carts when we go to Aldi or Jewel here in Chicago! :) Having no car you gotta have a great rolling cart if you dont want to pay for delivery!

The first cart I ordered had a major defect. There's 2 wheels on each corner, which totals 8 wheels. The inner wheel on the back left side was not touching the ground so when I push the cart forward or pull the cart backwards, that inner wheel would not spin because it wasn't even touching the ground and looked a pinch smaller than the other 7 wheels. I quickly went back on Amazon to do a replacement request. The Seller was awesome! I sent back the cart the same day I requested a replacement. The Seller sent a new cart right away and I received it before my defective cart made it back to their headquarters. This cart is light weight enough without anything placed inside, but is sturdy enough not to fall over when in full open position. It comes in a long rectangular box where the cart is collapsed, but it wasn't compact enough to fit as totally assembled. That's why the front wheels inside the box are in a plastic clear bag. You need to assemble those, and it's very easy. You just push in and it snaps in without much effort. The front wheels can be removed if needed by pressing a lever at the bottom of the wheel construction. It's very easy to get this assembled or disassembled. Moving the cart forward, backwards, making turns is very fluid and comfortable. The handles are just the right height and definitely the space is plenty for my farmer's market shopping. It easily collapses when I need to store it away in my garage or in my trunk. It will not stand up/stay up in a collapsed position. It has a tendency to fall because of the wheels. So I leave it fully opened position in my garage. The design is similar to a child stroller, but is much more sturdier construction. There is no odor that comes out of this item and the canvas type material looks sturdy enough to hold all my groceries without ripping. There is a snap button strap to secure it when folded up. The only downside is, I wish the wheels were rubber and not plastic.

I received this cart last week. I bought it to replace a more traditional style cart (big wheels in back, small in front, all wheels fixed, tilt to turn, folds in half.) I wanted a cart that collapsed in both direction to take up less room in the house. This cart is room, the bag seems very sturdy, and it collapses to create a much smaller footprint for storage than my old one. I walked to the grocery store (5 blocks) with the cart in a light rain on Saturday morning. I kept the cart folded and pulled it behind me on the way to the store. This worked very well, a couple of times one of the front wheels turned slightly to the side, preventing the back wheel from turning agains the ground, but for the most part it rolled well in a folded position. Once at the store I popped it open and wheeled it around the store as I filled it with groceries. This was a treat compared to the old one that I had to drag behind me. The handles are at a pretty decent height, but I wish that they faced back instead of forward (more on this later.) I found that walking along side the cart pushing it with one handle worked very well, unless the aisle was crowded (I shop early, so crowded means that the stock people had a bunch of dollies and carts blocking the aisle) in which case I moved behind the cart, and pushed with both hands. I was able to fit two weeks of groceries for one person in the cart, so it holds about the same amount as my old cart - I was pleased with this. After checking out, answering lots of questions about it for the clerks, and putting the cover on (fits great!) I left the store. This is where the handle situation became a bit more of a concern. For the most part it handled very well, again walking beside it and pushing with one hand. Occasionally, however, it became necessary to walk behind and push with both hands, up a slight grade, or if the sidewalk was slightly canted to one side (the cart wanted to roll in that direction) or over rough sidewalks (my neighborhood is very old, and some of the sidewalks are stone rather than concrete, and not in very good condition.) The issue is that I am a pretty fast walker, walking behind it I found myself kicking the metal bar that releases to fold up the cart. I didn't have any issue with the cart folding, but in order to walk quickly I had to stay farther behind the cart, which left me hunched over. I had to slow my pace quite a bit to avoid this. I feel like if the handles faced back that would given me enough distance from the back to avoid this problem. I had a brief thought of drilling out the rivets, turning the handles around, and using bolts to reattach them, but since the handles are at an acute angle doing this would cause them to point toward the ground, which wouldn't solve the problem, so I am trying to find something similar but with an obtuse angle to replace them, or some other solution that will allow me to have handles that face back toward me. This may not be a problem that impacts everyone, but for me it caused me to knock off one star - everything else about the cart is terrific, and I don't regret the purchase at all.

I have owned this for around 6 months and use weekly. Very sturdy canvas. Holds a lot of groceries + holds a good amount of weight too (like a case of water + gallon of milk + lots of groceries. Metal below the cart & whole frame is sturdy! Easy to fold and unfold. I would buy again. I’m in my mid 60’s.

Love love love this cart! Use it for all kinds of tasks. Mainly groceries, but so much more!
