I live in a high rise apartment building and have to walk some distance from the parking lot to my home. In the past I would carry groceries from the car to my apartment and it would tire me out so I wanted a folding trolley to be able to transport groceries with little effort. I looked at the metal wire folding carts and almost bought one but I read reviews mentioning that the wheels break after time. Also the carts take up a lot of room in the trunk when folded. In the end, I decided to get the Garcon Trolley and I am very happy with it. It is very small and light when folded up. And surprisingly it is very strong. I have used it to carry 4 or 5 jugs (gallons) of spring water. At first I was worried the weight would be too much at the bottom because from the pictures, I thought the bottom was "soft" but there is a hard (yet flexible) plastic "floor" on the bottom on top of a metal beam that supports the weight. It's capacity is also more than adequate as I have also used it to carry 5 to 6 plastic bags of groceries. The trolley seems well built and the wheels are silent when going over smooth surfaces (they are not hard plastic) yet sturdy enough to traverse side walks. This item is not cheap by a long shot compared to other options, but I think it is well built and attractive. It is a pleasure to use when ever I bring my groceries home.
