Pushchairs with a shopping basket

Shopping basket

— an accessory in the form of a basket or container installed at the bottom of the pushchair – under the carrycot or seat unit. This compartment is convenient for storing purchases and other things that do not require quick access while walking. At the same time, larger and heavier items can be placed in the basket/container than in a bag for things (see above); and the low position improves the stability of the pushchair. The shopping compartment can be either open or closed. The first option is found everywhere, the second – mainly in elite models (and such pushchairs can be supplied with two baskets: open and closed, or in different colours). The capacity of a closed compartment is often smaller, but the contents in it are securely hidden from prying eyes and protected from dust, dirt and moisture. Compartments for purchases are made from a wide variety of materials: plastic, metal mesh, fabric, etc. Soft materials are generally lighter, but less durable, hard ones are reliable, but can interfere when overcoming curbs and other obstacles.
