As you can see it’s shiny new and still has its packaging on it. It’s was so smooth and quiet!

Do all 4 wheels spin? NA is waaay behind when it comes to shopping cart tech.
IKEA carts do that. I both love it and hate it sometimes.
Gotta do the old cart spin, the wife hates it because I’m “knocking over children and old people”, but nothing beats seeing that KALLAX do the ol’ 800 gon spinaroo :italian_hand:
I hate it. I almost never want my cart to go sideways and it takes so much effort to keep the thing rolling straight.
Carts with four swiveling casters are so much harder to steer. Rigid rear and swivel front is the better configuration.
Some are not yet ready to ascend to the glory of omnidirectional movement.
I guess they’re good for a core workout?
At Costco in the UK they have them like this one where the back wheels don’t spin and it’s infuriating. The technology exists, use it
A guess is that the ones that dont turn, are meant to go on escallators (or whatever you call those escalator ramps).
The wheel rims slot into the escalator surface and stops them from rolling, like brakes. If the wheels could turn, there mayde is a higher risk of them not stopping on the ramps
No, Ikea carts have both four-wheel swiveling and can go on the travellator.
OK - my theory did not hold 👍
I also just now noticed that OP has shared a picture of a cart with stiff rear wheels and no brakes
Yupp! Flawless haven’t seen new carts in 20ish years so I was thrilled.
