Good value, traditional tartan design with drawstring closure. The finger holds on the handle make this model comfortable to pull and push. Good, large capacity with useful zipped rear pocket. It doesn't fold up completely, just flattens for easier storage.

Comments

Appealing bright, floral design. Back frame provides support so it can stand on its own even when empty but folds flat only. Drawstring closure holds shopping securely inside. Very easy to push and pull over all terrains, up and down stairs and curbs. Most compact of framed models.

Comments

Lightest of the three flat folding designs. It has two useful zip pockets including one in the lid for small items. The handle is quite high so would be best for taller users. Good, large capacity and it pushes and pulls easily over all terrains. Folds flat like the Argos and M&S models

Comments

A hard sided trolley with an open top. It folds in on itself until completely flat. Is best for short journeys as it has no lid and items can jump out on rough terrain or get wet if it rains. Soft items are well protected by its hard sides. As it is plastic it can be washed easily and even used to transport garden rubbish.

Size: folded 24 x 31 x 50cm; unfolded 64 x 28 x 23cm. Empty weight: 0.99kg. Number of wheels: two. Handle height from ground: 85cm. Completely folds. Front zip pocket.

Comments

This cleverly folds up into a tiny, lightweight package with a handle so it can be easily carried or stored. Best for small amounts of shopping it does sag in the middle if packed with too many heavy items which makes it difficult to tow. No closure at the top means if it tips over the shopping can fall out easily.
