Disclosed is a separable shopping basket and cart system, comprising a wheeled basket having sidewalls and a base forming a largely rectangular structure with an open upper, which is securable to a wheeled cart adapted to accept and support the basket in an elevated position while shopping within a store. The cart comprises a wheeled base, a basket-supporting frame and a user push handle. When shopping, the basket is joined with the cart for the collection and purchasing of goods, after which the basket is separated from the cart and taken to the user's car or transported to its intended location. Purchased articles are supported within the basket during transit, while the basket wheels and extended user handle allows the basket and contents to be pulled and not physically carried. The basket is further stowable, wherein the basket walls disconnect to fold into a planar, collapsed state. |
