PRODUCT DETAILS
The Step Cart- Deployable Stool™ is the perfect addition to shopping carts. It is a deployable stool system that is attached a shopping cart via a sliding system with rollers. The product can be securely stored under the shopping cart when not in use. When the product is needed, the user can simply use their foot to pull the product out to the extended length. There are stoppers at the end of the sliding mechanism to ensure the product will not slide all the way out in the process of pulling it out. The product can then be utilized as a platform for users to safely stand on top of to increase their vertical reach. Once users are finished, they can simply push the product all the way back in under the cart using their foot.

The product can easily be moved between storage mode and active use mode simply by placing one foot’s underneath the product, putting pressure with the top of the foot on the bottom of the product, and pulling back with the foot to drag the product out of the back of the cart. When in storage, it is lightweight and compact allowing shoppers to easily maneuver the cart without having a bunch of added weight or constantly hitting their feet on the product when walking around the store with the shopping cart. This makes it a seamless way to integrate the product without requiring users to carry this product or put it in their shopping cart when doing their shopping.
