They are not near as handy nor do they carry as much but they do fold. I may go back to the buckets as they more convenient.
Looks like an excellent solution for my grocery mobile. Do you have any close-up pictures of where and how you attached the zip ties? Looks like you don't have a standard rack. And how do you tell the difference between industrial grade and normal zip ties?
I might run into the heel strike problem with my Sasquatchian feet but we'll have to see how it goes.
