Hi, as I've got older my back has become more susceptible to pain. I am 6'2" and find supermarket carts/trolleys difficult to use because the handle is too low and it requires me to lean forward and stoop. 20 minutes of this is enough to cause me bad neck and back pain. I have been looking everywhere to find a device I can attach to the handle to make it a few inches higher but I can't find anything like that. Perhaps I am using the wrong search terms. If anyone can halp me find something to help me with this, I would really appreciate it because a trip to the supermarket can leave me feeling uncomfortable for the rest of the day.

Hello @Filfthy, welcome to the community
I'll pop your post over to our aids and adaptations where more members with the right experiences can find it and share their thoughts.
There's a couple of things that spring to mind. One is pushchair extenders, then perhaps bike handlebar extenders too, do you think these might work for you? I think from memory you can get ones that clip on and off so you can remove them easily.
I've had a few results searching for 'shopping cart extender', 'handlebar extender' and 'trolley handle extender', maybe those are worth a try? I hope you find something suitable soon!0
