Goldman’s first design consisted of a metal frame on wheels, holding two wire baskets. It was practical, but it wasn’t an instant success. Shoppersto, especially women, initially balked at using carts, believing they looked like baby strollers and wondering whether they were that helpful.
Well, this is the golden age of supermarkets.
The boom of supermarkets in the years after World War II made the shopping cart a necessity. The increasing prevalence of self-service shopping also meant shoppers needed a way to carry items, and carts were the ideal solution. By the 1950s, they were a retail staple.
Decades of Design Enhancements
The shopping cart evolved quite a bit over the years. Designers incorporated child seats, swivel wheels, even more capacious basket shapes, improving the ergonomics of the carts. These innovations made shopping easier and more enjoyable.
Foldable Bucket Type Carts
Foldable carts changed how we store and move things around. They made space-saving easier for retailers, and enhanced logistics efficiency. It was particularly valuable for small stores and urban retail spaces.
The Shopping Cart Goes Digital
The e-commerce boom brought the terms “shopping cart” into the digital world. Online carts resembled their in-store siblings, allowing users to “place” items for purchase. This online shopping equivalent helped cement the cart’s place in contemporary shopping culture.
Sustainability in Cart Design
As concerns over the environment grew, retailers looked for greener carts. There are designs with recycled materials, lightweight metals and even biodegradable plastics. These initiatives help to lower the cart’s carbon footprint.

Shopping Carts as Part of the Culture
Going beyond their means of functionality, shopping carts became an icon of culture. They show up in art, photography and even social commentary, signifying consumerism and modern life.
Challenges and Innovations

Impact on Consumer Behavior
