Before I had my hip replacements i used a cart on wheels for my laundry, and also moving lots of things around the house. It is one of those type with the big wheels that people use for shopping or take to flea markets. Mine had a cloth insert so smaller things wouldn't fall out. It was very easy to pull around and it folded up. My house has a sunken living room i had to maneuver and it worked great up and down those steps too.
