I’m looking for a really geeky but practical thing, but can’t think of what to put in google or ebay.
It is basically a two-wheel pullcart with hooked branches that let you hook a lot of grocery bags and wheel them down the street.
Anyone know what it is called?

Bizarre. My girlfriends mother asked for something like that as well, a few days back. [This is the best I could do.](http://www.ezeewrap.com/gadgets/grocery.html) .

I need the wheeled version - my grocery store is too close to take the car, but too far to carry 97 grocery bags.
I don’t remember where I saw it - maybe Hammacher Schlemmer or Brookstone…or a grocery store - it’s been a few years.

Geez, I used to work in a grocery store and saw these all the time, but the one I remember didn’t have hooks. It was a wire frame basket that could hold 4-6 real (that is, paper) full sized grocery bags. I have no idea what they were called, though.
Try [this link](http://www.ci.pasadena.ca.us/publicaffairs/InFocus/2002/Spring/default.asp) and scroll down to “Cutting the Clutter” and look at the second cart picture.
Is this it?

Mr. Blue Sky:
2nd pic is what I remember as a kid of about 11 (mid to late 50’s)in Queens, NY. Made many a trip to Bohacks or the A&P with one in tow. Don’t remember ever calling them anything except possibly cart or grocery cart. I agree about the hooks, they had none.

You can probably call it anything you like, **sethdallob**.😉
Does this [oxygen cart](http://pulmonarypaper.org/main.asp?CatID=9) resemble what you are thinking of?

I know exactly what you are talking about.
I get catalogs such as Hammacher Schlamer (sp?), Harrington and Front Gate and I saw one in there once.
I wish I could remember which catalog.
you may try those sources.
I will keep an eye out for you.

Why is the bunch of hooks on wheels better than a grannie grocery cart? The carts are more versatile- you can move a lot of non-groceries, too.

it folds down into a much smaller unit?
