Abstract
One embodiment of a wheeled tote includes a multifunctional set of resiliently flexible handles that are suitable for responsively guiding the wheeled tote as it rolls, for lifting the wheeled tote, and for comfortably carrying the wheeled tote in a hands-free manner over extended distances. The wheeled tote includes a zip-top collapsible tote bag comprising a sturdy fabric, and a collapsible frame with swivel casters that is removably attached to the bag with fabric snaps. The wheeled tote is reconfigurable between an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration for better storage and portability. Stays reinforce the left and right sidewalls of the bag. A bottom insert reinforces the base of the bag, and can be used as an actuator to quickly and easily expand the bag from the collapsed configuration to the expanded configuration. Other embodiments are described and shown.
