What is the recommended handle height for a push cart?
A push-along shopping cart at the right height for comfort!
-Is the handle height of your cart correct?
Push-type shopping carts are convenient items that allow you to carry your belongings comfortably with less strain on your body, but if the handle height is not right, you may end up tiring yourself out or losing your balance.
◆ The basic height is "height ÷ 2 + 3cm"
The handle height of a push-side shopping cart is well-balanced if you consider it based on the same standards as a walking stick, making it easy to use in a natural posture.
Example: If you are 150cm tall, 150 ÷ 2 + 3 = approximately 78cm
Use these numbers as a guide and make fine adjustments while observing the feel and posture when you actually hold the club.
◆ If the handlebars are too high...
The cart is too far forward
A posture in which the body is pulled backwards
Your arms and shoulders are raised, putting strain on your shoulders and neck.
It's easy to lose your balance and there's a risk of falling
The key is to hold the cart firmly next to your body.
◆ Tips for adjusting the handlebar height
The ideal height is one where you can stand with your arms hanging naturally and your elbows slightly bent.
Make sure your shoulders aren't raised
Try walking a little and check if your arms move smoothly.
◆ Finally: Find the height that suits your body
A cart that is the right height can make shopping and outings more comfortable and safe.
Adjust the position of the cart to suit your height and walking style, and use it as a companion that will support you in your daily life. When choosing a cart, we recommend that you actually hold it and walk with it in the store. If you have any questions, please consult the staff at your nearest KINDCARE store.
