Introduction: Grocery Bag Holder

My team and I made when entering this contest thought of something that we could use day to day but with taking into consideration a tool that is simple yet affective, thinking about responsibility's the idea of chores came to our minds . When going grocery shopping its a Childs duty to bring down the grocery's and what better way to do it then all in one trip to the car. that's when our Gadget the grocery bag holder comes into play. when designing we made sure our design was special to us and most of all affective. We know if by designing a good object it could not only benefit our lives but the lives of others. The design focuses on both quantity and quality, with the handle having four hooks compared to two, and with the structure being thicker to promote comfort and stability. The strengths of this object are that it is able to help people carry multiple bags of grocery without too much strain on their hands.
