Hello everyone,
I am a college student and I am currently completing a product design project. The project is about designing a supermarket trolley that is convenient for disabled people to use. I would like to ask if you have any suggestions, or can you share with me your experience of using supermarket trolleys. I would be very grateful.

    maybe the actual trolley bit could be over your lap a bit (for a wheelchair user) as current wheelchair trolleys are quite a way out in front of you making if harder to reach especially if you are small like me. I have no idea if that would work or not but thought I'd suggest it in case it is helpful!

    Are you suggesting a design that includes a van to deliver the shopping?

    I think something that makes the trolley able to be steered more easily would help a lot.
    You could try to improve the way the trolley is steered because it takes a bit of strength and if it was lighter it would be better.
    Good luck
