It's much more maneuverable than the four-wheeled kind, and its triangular shape gets through the more crowded areas of my house.

I don't know what I did before I started using it.

The tray is a lifesaver, as I can carry all my dinner stuff in one trip to the table, and I can carry a moderate load of laundry from my bathroom to the washing machine.

And when my four Goldens stand around in front of me like so many zombies, I use it like an ice-breaker- I poke the front wheel between them and make a high-pitched "beep beep" noise and they make way for me.
