Shopping activity without doubt is fun and enjoyable. A survey in the UK was conducted in April 2020 found that shopping is the best therapy to reduce stress. During shopping, consumers consume tons of plastic or shopping bags to carry their shopping items. This leads customers to have too many shopping bags on hand and that has bothered them. There are times when they unintentionally had left their shopping bags at the mall due to their full-handed hands. Some countries are going green and they have restricted the usage of plastic during shopping, and these have forced consumers to take their shopping bags along with them when going out for grocery outings. Understanding the consumers’ needs and helping them to enjoy their shopping experience, Multipurpose Pushcart is invented. This pushcart is unique; it combines a few features to enhance its functions to the users. It is a pushcart that has branches of the holder to hook the shopping bags. An umbrella is attached at the core of the pushcart, making it useful during rainy days. This pushcart was also designed to understand the elderly needs during shopping. With a chair function attached, it enables the elderly to sit down and take a short break during walking. Other than that, this cart is enhanced with battery-operated light making it useful when used during night time. This item is a must-have item for everyone as it is handy, compact, stylish, and a great assistant to be used in any situation!
