Shopping Trolley?

Hello,

I am not sure if this is in the right section of the forum, but I am looking for a good quality shopping trolley. So that I can go and do the groceries and walk home with my purchases. We are based in Luzern does anyone know a shop in the area which stocks these?

Kind regards,

Charde

I hear Migros have a huge selection. You'll normally find them outside the main entrance or throughout the carpark. Very cheap too, only Sfr 2:-

Re: Shopping Trolley?

I've never met a good-quality wheely-trolley yet...

I use my kid's stroller...

I wonder if they make them weak so you have to buy more...or do we just load them up until we can't load them up any more

However I did see a 'cute' one at Tchibo the other day...

And I'm pretty sure you could find a second-hand one in your local brockenhaus...

Re: Shopping Trolley?

We purchased one of these for recycling our bottles and moving stuff to and from our garden on our bikes:



http://www.veloplus.ch/AlleMarken/An...nAndersen.aspx

Designed to work as trailer on a bike and is indestructible as a result.

Any larger independent bike shop should be able to order one for you even if you don't plan to use it with a bike.....

Re: Shopping Trolley?

I'm sure there's a rule that says you need to be over 60 to use one of those things

I am guilty of using the stroller for shopping up the big hill to my house. I see others doing this without a kid in sight

See, that all started to change (not sure if it completely took off or was just an innner-suburban fad) in Melbourne, Australia, when young adults started moving close to the city and didn't want to lug bags-full of booze and shopping home on foot. Enter the granny trolley. They were so popular that they became cool for a bit in areas like Richmond. As I say, I'm not sure if this is still the case, but a friend and I were thinking of starting a granny trolley cover shop, full of funky covers to put over the wire frame for that extra cool feeling as you're wheeling it along. We never actually started the shop thanks to me moving overseas 'for a year' (9 years ago).

Re: Shopping Trolley?

Andersen's quite a good brand, from what I've seen. I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen pulling one of these - except maybe the leopard skin one...

Re: Shopping Trolley?

Oooh, love those coloured ones...

I think I'd rather buy them for my kids (7 & 9 years) - I'd still feel too daggy pulling a 'granny' trolley!

Re: Shopping Trolley?

We got our son a four-wheeler 'carry on' luggage one and he loves it - because he can push it along...

But I was sorely tempted to get one of these when we left Australia... for our little bub...

Actually those need to be returned back to the store.. you don't buy them
I think what you are looking for is one of those two wheel trolly bags which most swiss people(specially the aged ones ) roam around with,

You could purchase one of these from Migros City / Coop City

But then again Paddy's suggestion to borrow and return the shopping carts might be more economical if you have just have to take the stuff till your car and dump it there

Re: Shopping Trolley?

I wouldn't give a monkey if people laughed about me having a trolley. I'd have the last laugh anyway when I get my shopping home with an intact back. At the moment a large rucksack does the job but I wont hesitate when the time comes.
