摘要

The invention relates to a shopping trolley (60) which includes a holder (62) for holding articles of shopping, and a wheeled undercarriage (14) connected to the holder (62). The undercarriage (14) is operable between an erected condition, in which the undercarriage (14) supports the holder (62) at a working height above the ground on wheels (70), and a collapsed compact condition, for loading of the trolley (60) into a boot of a passenger sedan so that the holder (62) provides a boot organizer. In one embodiment of the invention, the undercarriage (14) comprises a pair of telescopically extendable curved legs (68) which have wheels (70) mounted thereon. The invention also extends to a vehicle which has a securing arrangement in its boot specifically for securing the collapsible shopping trolley (60) in a stable condition in the boot, when the undercarriage (14) of the trolley (60) is collapsed.
