Foldable shopping trolley: how to store it in a small space?
Where will you keep your trolley once you’ve finished shopping?
In a flat, every bit of space counts. But even in a house, you don’t want equipment cluttering the hallway or taking up the whole car boot.
And if putting it away takes too much effort, your trolley may end up at the back of the garage… and stay there the next time you go shopping.
A good foldable shopping trolley should take up little space, stay within reach and be easy to get ready for your next trip.
1. Start by choosing where it fits into your routine
Where do you set off from when you go shopping? Keeping your equipment close to that starting point makes it easier to use.
In a flat: a hallway cupboard or a space near the door, without blocking the way.
In a house: an accessible storage spot, rather than a garage corner behind other belongings.
In the car: a place in the boot that leaves room for groceries and everything else.
Mon Chariot de Courses highlights compact storage in a cupboard or car boot. The key detail to check: the folded dimensions, including the wheels and any parts that stick out.
2. The trolley folds — but think about the containers too
Once your groceries are put away, where will you store all your equipment?
A folding frame is useful, but bags, crates and insulated containers take up space too. To make the most of your storage, consider the whole setup.
At BOMY, modularity extends to storage: the trolley, shopping bag and baskets unclip and fold independently.
The trolley: its frame folds into three sections to reduce the space it takes up.
The shopping bag: it unclips and folds separately in just a few seconds.
The baskets: their rotating support bars make folding them flat and opening them up easy.
Each item stays within reach without taking up its full working volume. When it’s time to leave, choose the containers that suit your day, unfold them and clip them onto the trolley.
3. Small spaces aren’t just found in small flats
Do you drive to the shops or use your trolley in the countryside?
Storage matters just as much.
In its article about folding products, Rolser discusses motorhomes, caravans and holiday homes: places where the available space needs to serve several purposes.
With BOMY, you also choose what to take with you:
A trip to the market: take the trolley and shopping bag.
Shopping by car: bring as many baskets as you need.
Travelling by bike or public transport: choose the shopping bag, which you can wear as a backpack.
Everything else stays folded and stored. You leave with the setup that suits your day.
4. Compact storage should also mean a quick start
Do you have to put everything back together before leaving?
If getting ready becomes a chore, saving space loses some of its appeal.
At BOMY, the trolley, bag and baskets are designed to unfold quickly. Compatible elements connect using FIDLOCK magnetic-mechanical fasteners: magnets help guide them into place, while a mechanical lock holds them securely. The system combines easy attachment with mechanical retention.
Unfold, clip, go: putting your equipment away and getting it ready again are both part of the everyday experience.
With BOMY, modularity continues after your shopping trip
Modularity isn’t only about adapting what you carry. It also helps your equipment fit the space you have.
A compact trolley, a foldable bag and baskets that fold separately: each item has its place, ready to become part of the setup you need.
The aim: to take up less space when you’re not using it, so it stays within reach when you need it.
