My dad invented this. Was originally intended for wheel chair use and electronically motor driven. Very proud to see it in the real world. The original idea was all the wheels were electrically driven and the axle rotating the three wheels was also powered by a high torque motor. Apparently, finding a suitable solid state battery was the most difficult..only one was found in Australia!!!!
I'm grateful for this invention. I use it all the time, I live upstairs and have some mobility issues and this really helps me bring stuff/groceries upstairs. I'm now looking to buy my second one as this one has gotten old and damaged of so much use.
@bqh bqh Thanks, I didn't contribute towards this apart from letting him use my technical logo to build the very first prototype/proof of concept....later he machined a 1/8th inch scale prototype controlled by a ZX Spectum!!!!!
I wonder how well it will go up a flight of porch stairs that has space in between stairs , I wonder if the wheels will get caught in the space between the stairs? if you can test it on stairs with space in between that will be awesome, my daughter has stairs like that and that's why I was wondering
Rosie Duarte I have wooden porch steps it goes ok on it. I find that bunny cording does not hold things on well with just the cord it gives. The bag holds up very well even 'over stuffing' it with laundry. I have had my climb cart since before I moved. I used it on the bus, and uneven terrain and it did very well. Regular use from August last year to now and only thing I am unhappy about is the fact you need more than one bungy to use it without the bag
Thank you for this excellent review. I had a rattle cart, the kind sold in grocery stores. Paid $29 for it, and it sounded like I was dragging a metal fence down the street. When a wheel broke and wasn't easy to replace, I threw it in the recycling bin and went looking for a better solution. I found your review. A big plus for the cart is the handle. A negative is the wheels themselves: imagine if they used hard rubber wheels -- like a skateboard -- instead of hard plastic? Biggest plus: It's QUIET. Two recommended improvements: make a carrying tray that extends, either via pull-out or a flip down extension. AND Make the handle adjustable, so users of all heights can find the most comfortable position.
I stumbled on this video by accident, while looking for shopping cart for myself. Don’t want to sound grumpy, but honestly don’t understand the idea behind six wheel “stair climber” types of a dolly at all. Yes, they look clever, give impression of being specifically designed to handle stairs and steps. Do they however really make climbing stairs any easier or better, give any advantage at all, over regular two wheel dolly? Not at all. Whether it is six or two wheels, it will climb the stairs same way. It will not be any easier, more secure, safer, sturdier, more comfortable. At the same time the very design of the six wheel “stair climber” will make it slightly harder to pull dolly behind on any surface, flat OR stairs for that matter. Why? In order to compensate for the size of three wheels, virtually all six wheel dollies designs have a part of frame which supports weight of the bag from the bottom (part of frame which creates surface on which shopping bag seats) considerably higher than regular two wheel design. This results in weight being shifted up on the entire frame, which moves center of the gravity up. This causes design to have much higher angle of handle bar in relation to the ground when pulling dolly behind and shifts weight from wheels to hand. You hand pulling dolly will be lifting bigger weight, on top in arguably awkward, uncomfortable position. 3:40 Look how “Freakin’ Reviews” have to uncomfortably bend down while pulling dolly upstairs. Doesn’t this look painful? His hand is literally at his knee height. While walking flat surface, two wheel dolly handle will be maybe 20 degree from vertical plane. All weights balances on wheels, where you can hold and pull handle literally with two fingers, even when dolly is loaded with heavy weight. With “stair climber” type, angle will be more like 45 degree, where weight is resting between wheel and handle and you hand literally has to lift it. Advantage or just a sales pitch of looking smart, yet really bogus design? Not trying to offend anyone’s feeling, not impossible I am missing something. Just my two pennies of my uneducated reflections.
Your review was spot-on. It is great for going up stairs, not so much for going down stairs. Platform is smaller than I would like. Tried using it to get a 40 lb. bag of water softening salt down to the basement from my car. I did use the bungee cord, but my error might have been leaving the bag in the upright position. No problem going up the 3 steps to enter the house. However, I was not able to hold onto it to go down the stairs to the basement. The cart with the bag of salt practically flew down the stairs without me. Fortunately, the salt bag did not open and climb cart was not damaged. Will try laying the salt bag horizontal next time to see if that helps.
I've got 2 such carts of a similar vein, one being Trolley Dolly! I could not live happily without these carts. Lugging, and lifting, day in and day out, is just too much!!! Trolley Dolly and a little twine maneuvering is helping me up and down 84 steps to get to the attic. Dear Lord, Thank you for these little dollys!!!
due to arthriitis, i used this cart to carry purse, lunch bag etc, for last 3 years i worked. it is also my grocery cart for aldi's, when it gets full, i'm done shopping! works very well. also use it as in-out cart to move stuff to-from yard for gardening. not real big, but worth the money, in my opinion. very light and folds easily.
Thanks for the review. I live alone on a second floor unit and I think this will make grocery shopping so much easier for me. I guess a trip to bed bath and beyond is in my future.
Same here, Janice. We just downsized from a large one story house to a 2nd floor condo and shopping at Publix is still a pleasure, but not carrying groceries up 14 stairs. This is incredible. I just saw it in B,B,and Beyond ad and oh, how timely. My husband suffered a slip and fall on 9/11 after Hurricane Irma here in Florida. He was my grocery carrier. Now, he has a titanium rod in his tibia and screws and plates in both fibula. This gadget couldn't cross my path at a more opportune time. I see it as a God Wink. Thank you for your assembly info, demo, and testing! You rock
Count to Star Command. Come in Star Command. Star Command come in! Do you read me? Why don't they answer? MY SHIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP(ment)!!!!!!!!! BLAST this will take weeks to repair. Count mission log star date 4-0-7-2. My ship(ment) has run off course en route to sector 12. I've crash landed on a STRANGE planet. The impact must have awoken me from hyper sleep. There's only one solution. TO BED BATH.. AND BEYONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND.
I have a slightly more heavy-duty version of this cart. Strong enough to carry a front loading washer or a fridge. I find that 3 wheels work ok going up the stairs and the turning radios is non existant with a heavy load on it. You simply can't turn on the landing between the stairs. I usually have to get 2nd person to lift and turn the cart. For moving heavy items, better design seems a regular cart with big wheels on the side. But for a light load of grocery it seems to work fine. I still use mine 10 years later..... Even though it is not perfect and I had to repair one of the wheels that fell of in a turn.
I have a similar one with similar problems. Can't turn corners, and centre of mass is also much higher than it needs to be, making it very unstable. Great with light loads though.
Oh I am SO getting one of these, I'm older and have a bad knee, so carrying groceries up and down stairs is getting challenging. Good review! And thank you!
In Germany this is called Sackkarre and it´s actually a very old invention way before 2014. Actually the patent for a Sackkarre with stair climbing abilities was registered 1982. But here they are made completely out of light weight metal and are build to carry washing machines or even heavier things upstairs. So this plastic as seen on tv thing would never ever catch my attention. And by the way the price point is the same.
Allie Jones www.amazon.de/Treppenkarre-Sackkarre-Treppensackkarre-Faltbar-Stapelkarre/dp/B07BTTFK7G That is just one of the many models if you look it up they can hold 440 lb in Mead of a light but durable aluminum they look badass.
Yep and if you have 'freewheels' that can't roll backward like how a bike wheel works, it can't roll downhill. But then it can't turn, so the freewheel mechanism needs a hand control for each wheel.
I am surprised that it considered to be a new thing, I live in Israel, my mother lives on a second floor apartment and she uses this for at least 15 years now. It is very helpful for her!! A very good thing ☺️ I love your channel ☺️
It's a decent product for lightweight for groceries/shopping or laundry hauls. Unfortunately, had to return the cart because the wheels got stuck on our open spacing stairs.
Yet another great review! I have in of the first gen of these carts; they can be helpful but for a few bugaboos. The first is the platforms are difficult and usually too narrow to be versatile. As shown with the case of water. The second is twisting. When you have the cart loaded and put any sort of direct torsion you can easily damage the cart. When heavily loaded these carts need a good amount of space to pivot. And always, always get bungee cables and the custom bag! Finding a bag to fit properly is a pain so it's worth the cost to get theirs. Bungie cables are easier and can be gotten from any hardware store. Both will be invaluable depending on the loads you are trying to carry.
Excellent tips, Dan. The original Climb Cart had a much larger platform, and I'm not sure whey made it smaller (to save money, maybe?). You also touch on a point that I didn't really mention, that it doesn't really make very tight turns. I think it's pretty good, but $40 seems like about $10 more than what it's worth.
That same four points of contact can also add to the amount of weight you can carry in a given space... if you were to build something similar to this yourself, you could make it hold 500lbs easy. .... this thing just needs to be booated to the commercial product level, it would sell fantastically with better construction and the right marketing
Very impressive. I have a buddy who lives in a 3rd floor apartment with stairs. This will definitely cut down her back and forth trips from camping and the store. We didn't even know this existed! Thank you for your reviews. They are fair (some very amusingly, heh!) This one is a definite winner product for my bud.
Having reached my mid 60"s, along with back & respiratory issues, a trip to Publix was a dreaded event. I bought 2 for $59 on the companies website. I like to have a backup for the items I rely on to help me in a pinch...lol. Thanks so much for a great review. I'm subscribing.
I would like to see how well it works on the stair where the riser (vertical part of step) is open, like typical apartment or deck stairs. Without the vertical face for the leading wheels to hit and make the wheels swivel, I bet it doesn’t work that well. The other challenge might be where the tread (flat part you step on) protrudes an inch or so beyond the riser. Very few of the steps I have seen have a vertical riser intersecting the tread at a perfect 90 degrees like those in your park.
In the EMT world we used to use this type of design to move patients up and down stairs when the stretcher did not fit or work. We have since moved on to the tank tread design, smoother ride, less bouncing and some are even motorized.
Of course it's still hard when carrying a lot of weight: every time you move from one stairstep to the next you have to pull the full weight of the cart and payload up by yourself, there's nothing else there to do it for you. The only thing this kind of cart helps you with is it gives you little breaks from the lifting while you're dragging it horizontally on its wheels across each stairstep platform until you hit the next one and have to lift again. It's better than having to support the full weight continuously for the whole climb, but you still have to be able at least to lift all that weight for the vertical distance that is the height of each stairstep.
Exactly..not 'easier' at all, and it only really helps on stairs that are just the right size. If you put brakes on the wheels of a normal dolly and use bigger wheels, it is simpler and better and faster and safer.
@@murraymadness4674 I mean if we get super technical about it there may be some pulley effect going on there for a bit as you're pulling up at an agle but the cart starts by going straight up, but the help you're getting is probably very small, as there's not much angle difference from just pulling the cart straight up as it hangs freely.
I got something similar on amazon for my boyfriend’s family. They live in a apartment on the third floor with no elevator. They have a regular dolly but it requires two ppl to bring it up. I do wish it was bigger but it’s good for the light items and it cut through snow so effortlessly.
If the wheels were metal and the tires made of hard rubber, that would be better because of plastic breaks or wears out too fast and you would have to replace them more often if you could even get the replacement parts. The idea is great though, especially for seniors and their stuff eg. groceries. Love the bag idea keeps everything compact. Thanks for the video.
I can not tell you how happy it made me to see you test it with laundry! I’m disabled and use a chair lift to get up and down the stairs to my basement/laundry. Holding a basket on my lap is awkward and it doesn’t fit well. I’ve wound up with bruises on my arms and chest from the basket getting caught on something and jamming up against me. I’m betting I could drag this thing behind me on my way up. Now to just save up so I can afford one. Thanks! (Downstairs is the easy part. I just chuck it all down the stairs, then sort it when I get down there, lol.)
Wow! So glad I discovered this product (review). I'm shopping for a new home and was about to rule out townhomes because I couldn't imagine schlepping stuff up and down the stairs. This product has me rethinking townhomes. Thanks!
Seems like it would work just as well if it had one much larger wheel on each side instead of the three small ones. And larger wheels would be even better on rough terrain like the park grass.
Zombull73 You're right. I currently use one with a pair of larger wheels & find it requires about the same amount of pull up stairs as my previous 6 wheeled one. 1 advantage is, if one wheel breaks it can still be used.
The wheels would need to be indeed much, much larger. To the point that they'd make no sense over this design. If not, the cart would move up the stairs a lot less smoothly and would require much more effort.
I just saw commercial on TV and came to TH-cam hoping to find a review. Your review is great. You covered all the concerns I had. I didn't know I can also go to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy the Climb Cart verses waiting for a delivery order. Thank you for your review.
The theory looks sound -- it appears easier to use than normal carrier carts, now if only they could make a bigger version, but as long as you don't mind several trips, looks good. But, yes, all advertising is enhanced, that's why I have people like you demonstrating it in real-life conditions. Thanks again!
I agree with you about going down the stairs is more awkward then going up. I have to kind of kick it going down stairs. It does do the job though. I used it with moving boxes down the stairs. It is great but definitely requires effort on my end.
Keep us informed on how this product stands up over time, especially the wheels, that's the part I'm concerned about most, as they seem somewhat flimsy.
Just like every other cart I have ever seen the handle is so short why do they make these handles so short that they assume the average height in the United States is 5 foot 2 in I swear it's the same with with lower back pain.... That's one thing that they all have in common no matter how great the cart is the end up with lower back pain I hate it
I got mine at Target for half that price and I think it's super loud going up and down the stairs and it's killing my back pulling it because it does take effort. Have you do a review on the Upcart or any of the other carts you mentioned in this video?
i live in a 2-story apartment.....standard stair height is taller than those outdoor park steps....difference between steps & stairs......also, stairs tend to have a 'lip' overhang on each one.....wonder if that would interfere with the cart's ability to grab the next stair
Many indoor stairs (including for apartments) have a lip on them. How does it fare on those and how much space on a landing does it need to turn? Is there a version with metal wheels instead of plastic? How does it do in wet grass that's muddy? Snow? Ice?
Hi, At 3:40 you tried "Pull Up/Push Down" climbing style and found that pushing it down needs tilting back the cart to avoid falling over. I am interested in seeing how it would be when you reverse the climbing style, i.e., "Push Up/Pull Down" approach. Kindly make a short 2 min video on it with your review as I need to decide purchasing it. Thanks a ton!
U R correct Jansen! After seeing Freakin' Reviews review on this Climb Cart, I thought to myself, "If my dad had not already bought me the UpCart All Terrain Stair-Climbing Folding cart I would have tried this one." Which by the looks of how it works, it's almost the same as this one he reviewed! You might think about making a part time job out of doing professional reviews. You are not too boring or too much talk. IMHO that is :) Well done!
i am disabled from a stroke so can only carry with one hand. i got this cart to carry groceries in from the car. it is very helpful. most people won't be lugging a case of bottled water around. the bag holds quite a bit. the first thing i moved with it was a case of vegetables and a large box of juices in one go. it moved easier.
I was thinking of getting my 80 year old mother one to tote her groceries from the car to her apt. She has 6-7 stairs up outside and 3 down when entering her building. This looks like it'll work especially for the water. She carries the water herself - she's still a tough ole gal! I will ship one to her real soon. Thanks for the review.
You might want to measure the force required to pull it up a step (with your luggage scale), and then do the same with the same load using a regular 2-wheel hand truck. This would tell you for sure how much less effort it takes.
I try to keep using a product for a while after I post my review, just to give it a fair shake. If I still don't like it, I usually put it back in the box and store it in my garage! I'll have to show that stack of boxes in an upcoming video.
Freakin' Reviews Tape the receipts to the packages. Try returning the items to the store for a refund. Do a video on the idealized return policies of the merchants involved, versus the realities of actually getting the money back! Amazon’s policy makes it seem quite simple to send the items back, , but individual circumstances vary. Walmart’s got stores nearly everywhere, so I’ve found it easier. I prefer cash to store credit!
Cool review! I had never heard of this before. My wife and I just moved into an apartment on the 3rd floor and I never imagined how much it would getting used to carrying groceries and whatnot up 3 flights of stairs Lol. This might come in handy. Love the channel and keep up the awesome work!
That you for the review of the Climb Cart. Our family will be moving soon from a 1 Story house to a 2 story townhouse. I think I will need to purchase 1 or 2 of these carts to help bring the boxes upstairs. I hope it will save our backs. The only thing that concerns me is the length of the pull handle, it doesn’t seem long enough for taller people over 6 ft. How tall are you?
water weights 8lbs per gallon, so you can divide the number of total ounces. If those are 16-oz bottles, then 32*16 = 512 and divide that 512 by 128 oz per gallon = 4 gallons, which is 8*4 = 32 lbs for the water, plus 3 pounds for the cart.
I have a similar product called a trolly dolly have 6 large wheels. When I’ve gone down stairs however--i don’t push it forward as you’ve had. I actually pull it behind me to go down. So the back is tilted low to hold items stay on the base, but i don’t need to position myself awkwardly while going down stairs. Had you tried that? I feel like that would make the process much easier to go downstairs.
I have one similar to this. I had to also buy a larger cart since I actually have to do larger trips for groceries since I don't have a car. For people like myself, the climb cart, or any facsimile thereof, is good if you're only doing a small load like maybe a weeks worth of groceries or clothes at the laundromat. It goes great up the stairs but yeah, going down, you have to take it easier. By the way, he didn't state it but wheels are super loud on concrete but they do great on grass like he showed. They do have larger carts like this but they're a bit pricier.
Same here. I am car free by choice. I shop once a week. My cart is coming tomorrow. I think my own cart will be a bit small to carry all the food cans and stuff, but I hope to get a bigger one one day. This trolley will just be used for a smaller load. Tomorrow I will see if it is big enough for a duvet. I have been using a trolley box which is great for people who are car free and it has plenty of space but it is a little hard to carry if it has a full load. I wonder if the fabric on this trolley will made of tough fabric and is waterproof, seeing as we will be stuffing it with shopping
How would this work on wooden stairs, like on a deck, that have a lip on them? I have a regular cart that won't go up the stairs because the lip of each step catches the wheel, and I can't pull up over it.
BTW, the two wheel cart I own has a removable pouch with a zip top. I can use my cart like a hand cart without the pouch. I once had to transport a heavy load (more than 50 lbs), with no problem. 🤩
Thanks for this! I just subscribed since I like how thorough you are without a lot of chitchat. I just purchased this product (before watching your video), but have sent the link to my sister to see if she wants one too. Keep up the good work! ☺
Wonder? The way this folds up and out do you think if it was folded up I could strap it to my kayak on the rear and dolly my kayak to launch? I'm seriously wondering and thought of buying one not sure of it folded though.
Im wondering how it manages entering and exiting a bus in NYC and Amtrak trains? Afraid it might fall into “the gap” and require lifting to get a pair of wheels where they need to be
I purchased mine at Menards for 23.00. I LOVE IT!!! being disabled its hard for me to lug groceries from car to house have a few front steps to door way have to clear. I have another grocery cart with four wheels it is hard to manuver up the stairs had to really tug to get it to go up, wore out before I got items in the door. So I thought I would give this cart a try and lo and behold it works so much better. I loaded two heavy boxes of Sam Club goods with the bungy cord and no problem. Yes you do have to be careful on how you load it to keep from tipping or not being able to hold the items. But, I can live with that part. Folds up easy and small takes up no room in car. I am sold !!!
I have the original stair climber and it works wonderful. Love it ... When I go down the steps with it I don't push it down the steps I just pull it. I notice that you push yours down.
Great Video and thanks for sharing your own personal experience using this product. Since the shelf is not very deep; I would suggest lay a piece of cardboard or thin sheet of plyboard on this shelf which should keep items from falling off. I have a small dolly and this is what I do.
I'm so glad you reviewed this. I live in an apartment and have to climb 20 stairs to get to my apartment. Grocery shopping is a chore when having to go up and down. Going to go get this. Grocery shopping will be so much easier now. Ty
how would they do on steps with no risers, open grate metal steps and open grate metal walkways, gravel walks and drives, wet surfaces and steps, and how does it do at the beach?
Glad you did this review. I thought about getting one of these for my inlaws since they are older now. Seriously considering getting this for them now.
I have the climb cart and LOVE it. I used to use the box wire grocery cart and at times got caught going upstairs by the wheels too hard climbing stairs.
I have my climb cart in my closet. I feel it takes a lot of effort to pull it up stairs such as in an apartment building. It is also loud when trying to get it up the stairs. The first time using it to carry a case of bottled water it took a dive down the stairs & the bottles went everywhere. More trouble then it’s worth. Sorry D+ from me.
hey there! so I realize this was posted over a year ago, but I'm just now hearing about this thing. I'm a construction millwright and these appeal to me for the purpose of lugging an arsenal of tools up flights of stairs a work area. often times this is a sensitive (and pain in the ass operation. I doubt this cart could bear the weight of a tool collection, but you did mention that this is not the only car like this. have you tested or do you know of any carts that maybe WOULD bear the weight/just be more useful? as of now we just use a dolly but this isn't the most stable. most of the guys don't have a whole lot of trouble. I, however, am 5'2" and struggle EVERY time. thank you in advance -great channel!
happy Fourth of July I came across your video I have a small question if you are going up carpeted stairs from the basement to the first floor does it work well can you tell me if you've done that thanks a lot Laura
thank u 4 your review of this particular product! i was considering whether or not to purchase one for my elderly mom whom has 2 flights of stairs (usually with groceries or laundry) to get to her apartment...looks like i found something that will make her trips easier...you have done the world a great service! new sub! :)
glad I watched your video. I am short and have short arms. It looked too short for you so I have decided against getting it for that reason. I was already to get one too. Thanks for saving me some frustration.
Can the handling be improved by allowing each group of 3 wheels to turn/swivel? I haven't thought it through yet and the idea may well be problematic, but I find it interesting still
The flight of stairs where I live is open back. Your review did not show open back stairs, and I'd really like to know if this works on these type of stairs before I consider buying one.
might wanna try a ratchet strap instead of that bungie cord. may provide better support, although itll likely bend it. Also, could you try it in sand? might be descent for a beach outing if its really "all-terrain"
I work for instacart and shipt, which are both grocery services. So im constantly shopping and having to carry very heavy items. My mom gave me this cart and at first i was hesitant but after using it, i wouldnt be able to do my job without it. It holds a lot of weight although it does have to be balanced on there properly bc it could easily tip over. Going up stairs is helpful but if its a lot of weight its tough making it all the way up. The handle could be longer. But this thing is durable. Ive done over 1200 shops and have used it for 15 months and havent had to repair or replace anything on it. I highly recommend it but not to lug 75 pounds up stairs, unless youre a mini hulk lol. I def never tried it to go down stairs, i would be afraid of the tipping over thats mentioned in this video. All in all i give this product 5 stars!
In my previous comment I asked you to please use the Climb Cart on really steep stairs. That was before I found your updated Climb Cart Review. Please ignore my comment. You do wonderful thorough reviews, thank you so much.
Thank you for the review on climb card. I would like to add a suggestion if I may. I am blind, and was listening to the video. I tried to get a picture of what you were doing when you said you folded something up and flatten something. If you could when you do your comments be a little more descriptive that would be great. As a blind person, I’m thinking of getting one of these cards for when I go to the store with my partially sighted has been. It would help us to know a little more description of how the cart fold and unfold. Also, if you could give a little bit of a description on how big the cart is, it may help to understand what we can put in there. Thank you so much for your reviews.
My dad invented this. Was originally intended for wheel chair use and electronically motor driven. Very proud to see it in the real world.

Thank you! It was ingenious idea. God bless you.
Thank you for your Father's invention, it is a G-d send
@bqh bqh Thanks, I didn't contribute towards this apart from letting him use my technical logo to build the very first prototype/proof of concept....later he machined a 1/8th inch scale prototype controlled by a ZX Spectum!!!!!
This is why the Internet is awesome.
I wonder how well it will go up a flight of porch stairs that has space in between stairs , I wonder if the wheels will get caught in the space between the stairs? if you can test it on stairs with space in between that will be awesome, my daughter has stairs like that and that's why I was wondering
Where I live I have similar stairs to your daughters house. I think it would get stuck since the wheel isn't hitting anything.
sounds like it need bigger wheels. a lot of commercial grade handcarts have larger wheels. This isnt bad for most people.
Rosie Duarte. Thats a great comment I wonder why he never responded to it because most houses don't have cement stairs
Are you thinkinbg in terms of a fire escape grid type stair?
Without a back to the stair?
Rosie Duarte I have wooden porch steps it goes ok on it.
I find that bunny cording does not hold things on well with just the cord it gives.
The bag holds up very well even 'over stuffing' it with laundry.
I have had my climb cart since before I moved. I used it on the bus, and uneven terrain and it did very well. Regular use from August last year to now and only thing I am unhappy about is the fact you need more than one bungy to use it without the bag
Thank you for this excellent review. I had a rattle cart, the kind sold in grocery stores. Paid $29 for it, and it sounded like I was dragging a metal fence down the street. When a wheel broke and wasn't easy to replace, I threw it in the recycling bin and went looking for a better solution. I found your review.
A big plus for the cart is the handle. A negative is the wheels themselves: imagine if they used hard rubber wheels -- like a skateboard -- instead of hard plastic?
Biggest plus: It's QUIET.
Two recommended improvements: make a carrying tray that extends, either via pull-out or a flip down extension. AND Make the handle adjustable, so users of all heights can find the most comfortable position.
I hate those granny carts. They're so noisy.
I stumbled on this video by accident, while looking for shopping cart for myself. Don’t want to sound grumpy, but honestly don’t understand the idea behind six wheel “stair climber” types of a dolly at all. Yes, they look clever, give impression of being specifically designed to handle stairs and steps. Do they however really make climbing stairs any easier or better, give any advantage at all, over regular two wheel dolly? Not at all. Whether it is six or two wheels, it will climb the stairs same way. It will not be any easier, more secure, safer, sturdier, more comfortable. At the same time the very design of the six wheel “stair climber” will make it slightly harder to pull dolly behind on any surface, flat OR stairs for that matter. Why?
In order to compensate for the size of three wheels, virtually all six wheel dollies designs have a part of frame which supports weight of the bag from the bottom (part of frame which creates surface on which shopping bag seats) considerably higher than regular two wheel design. This results in weight being shifted up on the entire frame, which moves center of the gravity up. This causes design to have much higher angle of handle bar in relation to the ground when pulling dolly behind and shifts weight from wheels to hand. You hand pulling dolly will be lifting bigger weight, on top in arguably awkward, uncomfortable position. 3:40 Look how “Freakin’ Reviews” have to uncomfortably bend down while pulling dolly upstairs. Doesn’t this look painful? His hand is literally at his knee height. While walking flat surface, two wheel dolly handle will be maybe 20 degree from vertical plane. All weights balances on wheels, where you can hold and pull handle literally with two fingers, even when dolly is loaded with heavy weight. With “stair climber” type, angle will be more like 45 degree, where weight is resting between wheel and handle and you hand literally has to lift it. Advantage or just a sales pitch of looking smart, yet really bogus design?
Not trying to offend anyone’s feeling, not impossible I am missing something. Just my two pennies of my uneducated reflections.
Your review was spot-on. It is great for going up stairs, not so much for going down stairs. Platform is smaller than I would like. Tried using it to get a 40 lb. bag of water softening salt down to the basement from my car. I did use the bungee cord, but my error might have been leaving the bag in the upright position. No problem going up the 3 steps to enter the house. However, I was not able to hold onto it to go down the stairs to the basement. The cart with the bag of salt practically flew down the stairs without me. Fortunately, the salt bag did not open and climb cart was not damaged. Will try laying the salt bag horizontal next time to see if that helps.
I think it should be an olympic sport
I've got 2 such carts of a similar vein, one being Trolley Dolly! I could not live happily without these carts. Lugging, and lifting, day in and day out, is just too much!!! Trolley Dolly and a little twine maneuvering is helping me up and down 84 steps to get to the attic. Dear Lord, Thank you for these little dollys!!!
New subscriber. I am finding your reviews to be outstanding. Seriously, some of the best I have seen on TH-cam.
due to arthriitis, i used this cart to carry purse, lunch bag etc, for last 3 years i worked. it is also my grocery cart for aldi's, when it gets full, i'm done shopping! works very well. also use it as in-out cart to move stuff to-from yard for gardening. not real big, but worth the money, in my opinion. very light and folds easily.
So excited. I picked this up today for $19 at target. I'm moving to the 3rd floor at the end of the month and I think this will be a lifesaver.
Get the Trolley Dolly instead. U wont be disappointed
Thanks for the review. I live alone on a second floor unit and I think this will make grocery shopping so much easier for me. I guess a trip to bed bath and beyond is in my future.
Same here, Janice. We just downsized from a large one story house to a 2nd floor condo and shopping at Publix is still a pleasure, but not carrying groceries up 14 stairs. This is incredible. I just saw it in B,B,and Beyond ad and oh, how timely. My husband suffered a slip and fall on 9/11 after Hurricane Irma here in Florida. He was my grocery carrier. Now, he has a titanium rod in his tibia and screws and plates in both fibula. This gadget couldn't cross my path at a more opportune time. I see it as a God Wink. Thank you for your assembly info, demo, and testing! You rock
Count to Star Command. Come in Star Command. Star Command come in! Do you read me? Why don't they answer? MY SHIPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP(ment)!!!!!!!!! BLAST this will take weeks to repair. Count mission log star date 4-0-7-2. My ship(ment) has run off course en route to sector 12. I've crash landed on a STRANGE planet. The impact must have awoken me from hyper sleep.
There's only one solution. TO BED BATH.. AND BEYONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNND.
Janice Hart Qvc has many diff styles of this cart
The Count Well done!
No need to pay $40 i got mine for $10 i bought 2 one for me and one for my Best friend my mother. And all I paid was 28.99 including the shipping.
I have a slightly more heavy-duty version of this cart. Strong enough to carry a front loading washer or a fridge. I find that 3 wheels work ok going up the stairs and the turning radios is non existant with a heavy load on it. You simply can't turn on the landing between the stairs. I usually have to get 2nd person to lift and turn the cart. For moving heavy items, better design seems a regular cart with big wheels on the side. But for a light load of grocery it seems to work fine. I still use mine 10 years later..... Even though it is not perfect and I had to repair one of the wheels that fell of in a turn.
I have a similar one with similar problems. Can't turn corners, and centre of mass is also much higher than it needs to be, making it very unstable. Great with light loads though.
Improvements to be made:
1. Longer handle
2. Hold more weight
3. Wider base
4. Seat option
Trolley Dolly has all those features. Did them on amazon. Plus their bags have several compartments & come in different colors & patterns.
Needs to be larger
Oh I am SO getting one of these, I'm older and have a bad knee, so carrying groceries up and down stairs is getting challenging. Good review! And thank you!
In Germany this is called Sackkarre and it´s actually a very old invention way before 2014. Actually the patent for a Sackkarre with stair climbing abilities was registered 1982. But here they are made completely out of light weight metal and are build to carry washing machines or even heavier things upstairs. So this plastic as seen on tv thing would never ever catch my attention. And by the way the price point is the same.
DJWeaponized I live in central Germany, where can you buy them? I’m on the 4th floor so carrying up groceries sucks.

That is just one of the many models if you look it up they can hold 440 lb in Mead of a light but durable aluminum they look badass.
I thought exactly the same. We had one, costed 10 eueos... Lifted everything upstairs.
Can get up steps with big wheels fine. Seems like this specifically has the advantage of it not wanting to backroll though.
Yep and if you have 'freewheels' that can't roll backward like how a bike wheel works, it can't roll downhill. But then it can't turn, so the freewheel mechanism needs a hand control for each wheel.
I am surprised that it considered to be a new thing, I live in Israel, my mother lives on a second floor apartment and she uses this for at least 15 years now. It is very helpful for her!! A very good thing ☺️
I love your channel ☺️
I used one overseas in a hilly town with lots of stairs. It was great and easy to use.
It's a decent product for lightweight for groceries/shopping or laundry hauls. Unfortunately, had to return the cart because the wheels got stuck on our open spacing stairs.
oh dear, that is good to know
Yet another great review!
I have in of the first gen of these carts; they can be helpful but for a few bugaboos.
The first is the platforms are difficult and usually too narrow to be versatile. As shown with the case of water.
The second is twisting. When you have the cart loaded and put any sort of direct torsion you can easily damage the cart. When heavily loaded these carts need a good amount of space to pivot.
And always, always get bungee cables and the custom bag! Finding a bag to fit properly is a pain so it's worth the cost to get theirs. Bungie cables are easier and can be gotten from any hardware store. Both will be invaluable depending on the loads you are trying to carry.
Excellent tips, Dan. The original Climb Cart had a much larger platform, and I'm not sure whey made it smaller (to save money, maybe?). You also touch on a point that I didn't really mention, that it doesn't really make very tight turns.
I think it's pretty good, but $40 seems like about $10 more than what it's worth.
That same four points of contact can also add to the amount of weight you can carry in a given space... if you were to build something similar to this yourself, you could make it hold 500lbs easy. .... this thing just needs to be booated to the commercial product level, it would sell fantastically with better construction and the right marketing
Very impressive. I have a buddy who lives in a 3rd floor apartment with stairs. This will definitely cut down her back and forth trips from camping and the store. We didn't even know this existed! Thank you for your reviews. They are fair (some very amusingly, heh!) This one is a definite winner product for my bud.
-when going down steps did you ever try pulling it down vs the pushing down you showed in the video?
That's not the way stairs work
Having reached my mid 60"s, along with back & respiratory issues, a trip to Publix was a dreaded event. I bought 2 for $59 on the companies website. I like to have a backup for the items I rely on to help me in a pinch...lol. Thanks so much for a great review. I'm subscribing.
I would like to see how well it works on the stair where the riser (vertical part of step) is open, like typical apartment or deck stairs. Without the vertical face for the leading wheels to hit and make the wheels swivel, I bet it doesn’t work that well. The other challenge might be where the tread (flat part you step on) protrudes an inch or so beyond the riser. Very few of the steps I have seen have a vertical riser intersecting the tread at a perfect 90 degrees like those in your park.
Without reading the title, I thought that was a giant fidget spinner from looking at the thumbnail lol.
It does look like that!
lunar1044 My son thought that too, haha!
Dafuq, time travel? Fidget spinners are a trend from 2016.
Yes
Me too
In the EMT world we used to use this type of design to move patients up and down stairs when the stretcher did not fit or work. We have since moved on to the tank tread design, smoother ride, less bouncing and some are even motorized.
Of course it's still hard when carrying a lot of weight: every time you move from one stairstep to the next you have to pull the full weight of the cart and payload up by yourself, there's nothing else there to do it for you. The only thing this kind of cart helps you with is it gives you little breaks from the lifting while you're dragging it horizontally on its wheels across each stairstep platform until you hit the next one and have to lift again. It's better than having to support the full weight continuously for the whole climb, but you still have to be able at least to lift all that weight for the vertical distance that is the height of each stairstep.
Exactly..not 'easier' at all, and it only really helps on stairs that are just the right size.
If you put brakes on the wheels of a normal dolly and use bigger wheels, it is simpler and better and faster and safer.
@@murraymadness4674 I mean if we get super technical about it there may be some pulley effect going on there for a bit as you're pulling up at an agle but the cart starts by going straight up, but the help you're getting is probably very small, as there's not much angle difference from just pulling the cart straight up as it hangs freely.
I got something similar on amazon for my boyfriend’s family. They live in a apartment on the third floor with no elevator. They have a regular dolly but it requires two ppl to bring it up. I do wish it was bigger but it’s good for the light items and it cut through snow so effortlessly.
you need a two wheel cart to compare to the six wheel cart - of course it works, its just wheels, but does it work better?
If the wheels were metal and the tires made of hard rubber, that would be better because of plastic breaks or wears out too fast and you would have to replace them more often if you could even get the replacement parts. The idea is great though, especially for seniors and their stuff eg. groceries. Love the bag idea keeps everything compact. Thanks for the video.
@@gsnoorky I wonder if the wheels are replaceable
I can not tell you how happy it made me to see you test it with laundry! I’m disabled and use a chair lift to get up and down the stairs to my basement/laundry. Holding a basket on my lap is awkward and it doesn’t fit well. I’ve wound up with bruises on my arms and chest from the basket getting caught on something and jamming up against me. I’m betting I could drag this thing behind me on my way up.
Now to just save up so I can afford one. Thanks!
(Downstairs is the easy part. I just chuck it all down the stairs, then sort it when I get down there, lol.)
Wow! So glad I discovered this product (review). I'm shopping for a new home and was about to rule out townhomes because I couldn't imagine schlepping stuff up and down the stairs. This product has me rethinking townhomes. Thanks!
yes ,good point, you have to think of this especially if one hates using lifts or lifts break down
Seems like it would work just as well if it had one much larger wheel on each side instead of the three small ones. And larger wheels would be even better on rough terrain like the park grass.
Zombull73 You're right. I currently use one with a pair of larger wheels & find it requires about the same amount of pull up stairs as my previous 6 wheeled one. 1 advantage is, if one wheel breaks it can still be used.
The wheels would need to be indeed much, much larger. To the point that they'd make no sense over this design. If not, the cart would move up the stairs a lot less smoothly and would require much more effort.
good point
I just saw commercial on TV and came to TH-cam hoping to find a review. Your review is great. You covered all the concerns I had. I didn't know I can also go to Bed Bath and Beyond to buy the Climb Cart verses waiting for a delivery order. Thank you for your review.
Glad you liked my review. Be sure to see my "Part 2" here: th-cam.com/video/SOmTY2d2j1M/w-d-xo.html
The theory looks sound -- it appears easier to use than normal carrier carts, now if only they could make a bigger version, but as long as you don't mind several trips, looks good. But, yes, all advertising is enhanced, that's why I have people like you demonstrating it in real-life conditions. Thanks again!
4 years later and this review was exactly what I needed. Thanks!!
I agree with you about going down the stairs is more awkward then going up. I have to kind of kick it going down stairs. It does do the job though. I used it with moving boxes down the stairs. It is great but definitely requires effort on my end.
You’re a genuine guy. Keep up the good work. there’s something therapeutic/calming about your videos. 👍🏼
Keep us informed on how this product stands up over time, especially the wheels, that's the part I'm concerned about most, as they seem somewhat flimsy.
Just like every other cart I have ever seen the handle is so short why do they make these handles so short that they assume the average height in the United States is 5 foot 2 in I swear it's the same with with lower back pain.... That's one thing that they all have in common no matter how great the cart is the end up with lower back pain I hate it
It only takes one big law suit for a company to get your message.
I got mine at Target for half that price and I think it's super loud going up and down the stairs and it's killing my back pulling it because it does take effort. Have you do a review on the Upcart or any of the other carts you mentioned in this video?
The video where the sound got better. =P I love watching your reviews. They calm me down and help me get ready for bed
i live in a 2-story apartment.....standard stair height is taller than those outdoor park steps....difference between steps & stairs......also, stairs tend to have a 'lip' overhang on each one.....wonder if that would interfere with the cart's ability to grab the next stair
Many indoor stairs (including for apartments) have a lip on them. How does it fare on those and how much space on a landing does it need to turn? Is there a version with metal wheels instead of plastic? How does it do in wet grass that's muddy? Snow? Ice?
Grandmas all around Spain have been using carts with that wheel system for decades
Hi, At 3:40 you tried "Pull Up/Push Down" climbing style and found that pushing it down needs tilting back the cart to avoid falling over. I am interested in seeing how it would be when you reverse the climbing style, i.e., "Push Up/Pull Down" approach. Kindly make a short 2 min video on it with your review as I need to decide purchasing it. Thanks a ton!
Love your channel. Deserve way more subs
Thanks Jansen. I'm slowly getting there.
U R correct Jansen! After seeing Freakin' Reviews review on this Climb Cart, I thought to myself, "If my dad had not already bought me the UpCart All Terrain Stair-Climbing Folding cart I would have tried this one." Which by the looks of how it works, it's almost the same as this one he reviewed! You might think about making a part time job out of doing professional reviews. You are not too boring or too much talk. IMHO that is :) Well done!
i am disabled from a stroke so can only carry with one hand. i got this cart to carry groceries in from the car. it is very helpful. most people won't be lugging a case of bottled water around. the bag holds quite a bit. the first thing i moved with it was a case of vegetables and a large box of juices in one go. it moved easier.
I was thinking of getting my 80 year old mother one to tote her groceries from the car to her apt. She has 6-7 stairs up outside and 3 down when entering her building. This looks like it'll work especially for the water. She carries the water herself - she's still a tough ole gal! I will ship one to her real soon. Thanks for the review.
Yes, this would probably be ideal for her!
You might want to measure the force required to pull it up a step (with your luggage scale), and then do the same with the same load using a regular 2-wheel hand truck. This would tell you for sure how much less effort it takes.
any chance you tried this on "open" stairs... where there isn't a closed in rise? My friend's apartment is on the 3rd floor. ;)
That looks Great! Does it work OK if there is a little snow on the ground, or on the outdoor steps of the house?
Since it is all terran how well does it do with sand. Would it be good for a cooller that has no wheels type thing.
Can you please test out this cart on open stairs instead of just the closed ones? Open stairs or steps have spaces between them.
With all the items you try out on the channel what do you do with the ones you didnt like
I try to keep using a product for a while after I post my review, just to give it a fair shake. If I still don't like it, I usually put it back in the box and store it in my garage! I'll have to show that stack of boxes in an upcoming video.
That would be cool to see!
Freakin' Reviews Tape the receipts to the packages. Try returning the items to the store for a refund. Do a video on the idealized return policies of the merchants involved, versus the realities of actually getting the money back! Amazon’s policy makes it seem quite simple to send the items back, , but individual circumstances vary. Walmart’s got stores nearly everywhere, so I’ve found it easier. I prefer cash to store credit!
Cool review! I had never heard of this before. My wife and I just moved into an apartment on the 3rd floor and I never imagined how much it would getting used to carrying groceries and whatnot up 3 flights of stairs Lol. This might come in handy. Love the channel and keep up the awesome work!
Haha yes same here. Up in London I have got 3 flights of stairs and it is a right faff stopping and starting trying to get it up stairs.
That you for the review of the Climb Cart. Our family will be moving soon from a 1 Story house to a 2 story townhouse. I think I will need to purchase 1 or 2 of these carts to help bring the boxes upstairs. I hope it will save our backs. The only thing that concerns me is the length of the pull handle, it doesn’t seem long enough for taller people over 6 ft.
How tall are you?
water weights 8lbs per gallon, so you can divide the number of total ounces. If those are 16-oz bottles, then 32*16 = 512 and divide that 512 by 128 oz per gallon = 4 gallons, which is 8*4 = 32 lbs for the water, plus 3 pounds for the cart.
I have a similar product called a trolly dolly have 6 large wheels. When I’ve gone down stairs however--i don’t push it forward as you’ve had. I actually pull it behind me to go down. So the back is tilted low to hold items stay on the base, but i don’t need to position myself awkwardly while going down stairs. Had you tried that? I feel like that would make the process much easier to go downstairs.
I have one similar to this. I had to also buy a larger cart since I actually have to do larger trips for groceries since I don't have a car. For people like myself, the climb cart, or any facsimile thereof, is good if you're only doing a small load like maybe a weeks worth of groceries or clothes at the laundromat. It goes great up the stairs but yeah, going down, you have to take it easier. By the way, he didn't state it but wheels are super loud on concrete but they do great on grass like he showed. They do have larger carts like this but they're a bit pricier.
Same here. I am car free by choice. I shop once a week. My cart is coming tomorrow. I think my own cart will be a bit small to carry all the food cans and stuff, but I hope to get a bigger one one day. This trolley will just be used for a smaller load. Tomorrow I will see if it is big enough for a duvet. I have been using a trolley box which is great for people who are car free and it has plenty of space but it is a little hard to carry if it has a full load. I wonder if the fabric on this trolley will made of tough fabric and is waterproof, seeing as we will be stuffing it with shopping
How would this work on wooden stairs, like on a deck, that have a lip on them? I have a regular cart that won't go up the stairs because the lip of each step catches the wheel, and I can't pull up over it.
BTW, the two wheel cart I own has a removable pouch with a zip top. I can use my cart like a hand cart without the pouch. I once had to transport a heavy load (more than 50 lbs), with no problem. 🤩
Did you use a cover of the marble machine song?
Thanks for this! I just subscribed since I like how thorough you are without a lot of chitchat. I just purchased this product (before watching your video), but have sent the link to my sister to see if she wants one too. Keep up the good work! ☺
Thanks Amy. I'm posting a Part 2 on this product later today.
Can't wait! I still haven't put mine together, and honestly feel a bit guilty since it was an impulse buy. Looking forward to that next review.
What about steps that are higher? It seems it works well if step same height as gap between wheels but a higher step?
I dont know in USA. But in Spain granmas have been using that kind of carts for years.
I got a different brand but similar in design. This cart has made moving a breeze and I highly recommend it.
Wonder? The way this folds up
and out do you think if it was folded up I could strap it to my kayak on the rear and dolly my kayak to launch? I'm seriously wondering and thought of buying one not sure of it folded though.
Im wondering how it manages entering and exiting a bus in NYC and Amtrak trains? Afraid it might fall into “the gap” and require lifting to get a pair of wheels where they need to be
I purchased mine at Menards for 23.00. I LOVE IT!!! being disabled its hard for me to lug groceries from car to house have a few front steps to door way have to clear. I have another grocery cart with four wheels it is hard to manuver up the stairs had to really tug to get it to go up, wore out before I got items in the door. So I thought I would give this cart a try and lo and behold it works so much better. I loaded two heavy boxes of Sam Club goods with the bungy cord and no problem. Yes you do have to be careful on how you load it to keep from tipping or not being able to hold the items. But, I can live with that part. Folds up easy and small takes up no room in car. I am sold !!!
Does it come down the stairs as well??
I have the original stair climber and it works wonderful. Love it ... When I go down the steps with it I don't push it down the steps I just pull it. I notice that you push yours down.
Great Video and thanks for sharing your own personal experience using this product. Since the shelf is not very deep; I would suggest lay a piece of cardboard or thin sheet of plyboard on this shelf which should keep items from falling off. I have a small dolly and this is what I do.
What kind of dolly is good for big heavy items like a couch or stove to go up & downstairs?
I'm so glad you reviewed this. I live in an apartment and have to climb 20 stairs to get to my apartment. Grocery shopping is a chore when having to go up and down. Going to go get this. Grocery shopping will be so much easier now. Ty
Hey Shelby. If you do get it, let me know what you think. Thanks for the comment!
how would they do on steps with no risers, open grate metal steps and open grate metal walkways, gravel walks and drives, wet surfaces and steps, and how does it do at the beach?
I have imagined these with Meccano around year 2005 and continued since then. I am now working on those with my students.
Just wondering if you ever tried it on stairs that curve. I have 2 wrap staircases that curbs 180 degrees
Bring it down backwards is the proper method. I love this cart
Glad you did this review. I thought about getting one of these for my inlaws since they are older now. Seriously considering getting this for them now.
Which cart is better, the two wheel version or six wheel version? Which one is easier on the back in carrying heavy weight?
I have the climb cart and LOVE it. I used to use the box wire grocery cart and at times got caught going upstairs by the wheels too hard climbing stairs.
What about steps that don’t have backs to them, like the slabs of concrete for steps?
Dolly wheels always get caught between steps
I have my climb cart in my closet. I feel it takes a lot of effort to pull it up stairs such as in an apartment building. It is also loud when trying to get it up the stairs. The first time using it to carry a case of bottled water it took a dive down the stairs & the bottles went everywhere. More trouble then it’s worth. Sorry D+ from me.
hey there! so I realize this was posted over a year ago, but I'm just now hearing about this thing. I'm a construction millwright and these appeal to me for the purpose of lugging an arsenal of tools up flights of stairs a work area. often times this is a sensitive (and pain in the ass operation. I doubt this cart could bear the weight of a tool collection, but you did mention that this is not the only car like this. have you tested or do you know of any carts that maybe WOULD bear the weight/just be more useful? as of now we just use a dolly but this isn't the most stable. most of the guys don't have a whole lot of trouble. I, however, am 5'2" and struggle EVERY time. thank you in advance -great channel!
happy Fourth of July I came across your video I have a small question if you are going up carpeted stairs from the basement to the first floor does it work well can you tell me if you've done that thanks a lot Laura
I have not done that, but I don't see why it would be a problem. I plan to do an update soon and I'll see if I can find a staircase like that.
thank u 4 your review of this particular product! i was considering whether or not to purchase one for my elderly mom whom has 2 flights of stairs (usually with groceries or laundry) to get to her apartment...looks like i found something that will make her trips easier...you have done the world a great service! new sub! :)
glad I watched your video. I am short and have short arms. It looked too short for you so I have decided against getting it for that reason. I was already to get one too. Thanks for saving me some frustration.
i guess the one with the bag is little different in handel grip going up sterps would wear out the wheel grip faster
Some people bring their own carts while shopping,so would it be a good replacement for the miniature carts?
Any updates yet on climb cart? Did it hold up? Looks like its easy to break.
You are going up and down of low pitch steps, have you tried on standard pitch steps ?
Can the handling be improved by allowing each group of 3 wheels to turn/swivel?
I haven't thought it through yet and the idea may well be problematic, but I find it interesting still
The flight of stairs where I live is open back. Your review did not show open back stairs, and I'd really like to know if this works on these type of stairs before I consider buying one.
It would be nice to see it compared to a standard hand truck. Thnx.
Thanks for the test. Would have been nice if tested with 2 case of water = to 60lbs since the max is 75lbs.
I'm compiling some requests for a follow-up, so I may use this suggestion.
might wanna try a ratchet strap instead of that bungie cord. may provide better support, although itll likely bend it. Also, could you try it in sand? might be descent for a beach outing if its really "all-terrain"
I need something like this for door dashing but wondering how long those wheels will last:)
EXCELLENT thorough review!!!!!...subscribed!!
I work for instacart and shipt, which are both grocery services. So im constantly shopping and having to carry very heavy items. My mom gave me this cart and at first i was hesitant but after using it, i wouldnt be able to do my job without it. It holds a lot of weight although it does have to be balanced on there properly bc it could easily tip over. Going up stairs is helpful but if its a lot of weight its tough making it all the way up. The handle could be longer. But this thing is durable. Ive done over 1200 shops and have used it for 15 months and havent had to repair or replace anything on it. I highly recommend it but not to lug 75 pounds up stairs, unless youre a mini hulk lol. I def never tried it to go down stairs, i would be afraid of the tipping over thats mentioned in this video. All in all i give this product 5 stars!
I have something similar with the carry bag and it's great for bringing in the groceries after work at 7am.
In my previous comment I asked you to please use the Climb Cart on really steep stairs. That was before I found your updated Climb Cart Review. Please ignore my comment. You do wonderful thorough reviews, thank you so much.
Thank you for the review on climb card. I would like to add a suggestion if I may. I am blind, and was listening to the video. I tried to get a picture of what you were doing when you said you folded something up and flatten something. If you could when you do your comments be a little more descriptive that would be great. As a blind person, I’m thinking of getting one of these cards for when I go to the store with my partially sighted has been. It would help us to know a little more description of how the cart fold and unfold. Also, if you could give a little bit of a description on how big the cart is, it may help to understand what we can put in there. Thank you so much for your reviews.
Thank you for pointing that out. I will try to keep that in mind in the future.
