How to choose your grocery trolley ?
The best shopping trolley is the one that fits your habits. But your habits involve more than one kind of trip.
A Saturday market visit, a few groceries during the week, a supermarket run by car: your equipment should keep up with these changes.
Capacity, wheels, folding and insulation: buying guides offer useful starting points. The Mon Chariot de Courses guide to shopping in Paris, for example, considers the terrain, the amount of shopping and the storage space available at home.
At BOMY, we start with these needs and ask one more question: why settle for one configuration when your everyday life calls for several?
Four questions to ask before you choose
Capacity: do you always buy the same amount of groceries? BOMY offers a 60 L bag or baskets providing up to 100 L, depending on the configuration.
Wheels and carrying: can you roll your shopping for the entire journey? Large rear wheels and detachable modules let you carry the baskets by hand or wear the shopping bag as a backpack.
Storage: where will you keep your equipment between trips? The trolley, bag and baskets fold independently to fit the space available at home.
Insulation: do you need a cooler bag on every trip? The 11 L cooler bag can be carried on its own, attached to the trolley or placed inside the shopping bag.
1. Capacity: match the space to your shopping
The reisenthel carrycruiser, for example, offers 40 L. That is a useful reference, but your needs may vary between picking up a few items and doing your weekly shop.
With BOMY, you can change your configuration: a 60 L bag, baskets offering up to 100 L, or an additional 11 L cooler bag. When placed inside the shopping bag, the cooler bag takes up part of its capacity.
Your capacity changes with your habits, without changing your trolley.
2. Wheels: roll comfortably, carry when you need to
The Playmarket Go Up highlights its swivel wheels and removable bag. Your choice also depends on your route: cobblestones, kerbs, public transport or stairs.
BOMY combines large rear wheels with foam tyres designed to soften bumps and reduce vibration. Choose two wheels for pulling or four wheels to push as well.
We chose this design for rolling comfort and durability. Stair-climbing wheel clusters remain an option worth considering for stairs; with BOMY, the modules unclip so you can carry the baskets by hand or wear the bag as a backpack, depending on the load.
Switch from rolling to carrying as your journey changes.
3. Storage: give every component its own place
The Mon Chariot de Courses guide highlights the value of folding when space is limited. Check how much room the whole setup takes up, not just the frame.
With BOMY, the trolley, bag and baskets fold independently. Store them in your hallway cupboard or car boot, wherever you have room.
Practical while you shop, easy to put away between trips.
4. Insulation: let your shopping shape your setup
Picking up a few chilled items does not call for the same equipment as a full grocery shop.
The BOMY 11 L cooler bag works in three ways: inside the shopping bag, attached to the trolley in a compatible configuration, or carried on its own for smaller trips.
Take it when you need it, in the setup that suits you.
So, which shopping trolley should you choose?
Start with your habits: how much you buy, the surfaces you cross, any stairs, how you travel and the space you have at home. A recommendation can point you in the right direction, but it cannot answer these questions for you.
If your needs vary, the ability to change configurations becomes an essential part of your choice.
That is what BOMY offers: a trolley, shopping bag, baskets and cooler bag brought together in one system, ready to use according to your needs. You can expand your equipment over time and switch how you transport your shopping throughout the day.
From the market to public transport, from the weekly shop to a few extra groceries, or from the car to the kitchen, BOMY is designed for this variety of everyday situations.
You’re choosing more than a trolley. You’re building a setup around your life.
