Abstract
A travel cooler includes a base, a plurality of wheels mounted to the base for rolling movement of the base and an insulated container having sidewalls supported by the base and defining an interior, insulated space for receiving and preserving perishable food items. The base includes a portion that extends beyond at least one of the sidewalls to define a cargo receiving area for receiving items for transport. Additionally, or alternatively, an arm member is mounted to the base and configured to move between a retracted position to define a cargo receiving area and a protracted position substantially eliminating the cargo receiving area. Alternatively, a travel cooler includes a bracket removably mounted to an insulated container. The bracket defines the cargo receiving area for receiving items for transport exterior to the insulated container.
