This has got to be THE BEST thing I ever bought! OMG! You never realize how much you need something, until you try it. I wish I had bought it sooner, it could have saved me so many aches and pains. I most definitely recommend this to any one that has to go back and forth with grocery bags, or laundry. It holds 8 gallons of water, milk, etc. I was taking up 2 steps and I had no trouble at all. At 50, things become heavier and too much to handle on your own. This gave me some independence back!
