Setup and Assembly

The Bed Bath & Beyond Folding Shopping Cart requires minimal assembly. Follow these steps to prepare your cart for use:

1. Unfold the Cart Frame: Carefully unfold the steel frame until it locks into its open position. Ensure the X-shaped supports are fully extended and stable.
2. Install Front Wheels: The cart comes with 2 universal front wheels that need to be "popped in" for quick installation. Align the wheel stem with the designated slot on the front of the cart frame and push firmly until it clicks into place. Repeat for the second front wheel.
3. Insert Canvas Bag: Place the water-resistant canvas bag into the unfolded frame. Ensure it sits securely within the frame.
4. Secure Bag: Use the hook and loop fasteners or any other securing mechanisms provided to attach the canvas bag to the frame, preventing it from shifting during use.

Your shopping cart is now ready for use.

Operating Instructions

Using your folding shopping cart is straightforward. Here are instructions for its operation:

Unfolding the Cart

• Hold the cart by the handles.
• Gently pull the two sides of the frame apart until the cart fully extends and the locking mechanism engages, securing it in the open position.
• Ensure the canvas bag is properly seated inside the frame.

Folding the Cart for Storage

• Empty the cart of all contents.
• Locate the folding mechanism (often a lever or button near the base or handles).
• Engage the mechanism and gently push the sides of the cart together until it collapses into its compact form.
• Secure the folded cart with any integrated straps or clips to prevent it from unfolding accidentally.

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your Bed Bath & Beyond Folding Shopping Cart:

• Cleaning the Canvas Bag: The water-resistant canvas bag is removable and can be washed by hand. Use mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely before reattaching to the frame. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Cleaning the Frame and Wheels: Wipe the steel frame and wheels with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn grime, a mild detergent can be used. Ensure all metal parts are dried thoroughly to prevent rust.
• Storage: When not in use, fold the cart and store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the frame, wheels, and bag for any signs of wear, damage, or loose parts. Address any issues promptly to ensure safe operation.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your shopping cart, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Cart Does Not Fold/Unfold Smoothly:
  • Check for any obstructions in the folding mechanism.
  • Ensure all items are removed from the bag before attempting to fold.
  • Lightly lubricate moving parts if they appear stiff, using a silicone-based lubricant.
• Wheels Are Not Rolling Freely:
  • Inspect wheels for tangled hair, string, or debris. Clean as necessary.
  • Ensure wheels are securely attached and not loose.
• Bag Appears Loose or Sags:
  • Verify that the bag is correctly seated within the frame and all fasteners (hook and loop, buckles) are securely attached.
