One cart, three answers
In New York, a pushcart weighing less than 7 kilograms, foldable with one hand, and easy to pass through subway gates is a "must-have" for urban parents. In Dubai, spacious, sturdy, and luxurious full-size carts complement SUVs and shopping centers. In Singapore, parents are more concerned about whether a car can be used for multiple purposes? Is it easy for the elderly to operate? What is the cost-effectiveness?
This is not about taste, but a true reflection of living environment, mode of transportation, and family structure.
