About KADDY

In 2006 we introduced the Shopping Kaddy to merchants in North America as a new and ergonomic alternative carrier to the conventional hand baskets commonly in use in their stores. Almost immediately the customers who began using the Shopping Kaddy began raving what a joy it was to shop with it compared to the antiquated shopping baskets.

The Shopping Kaddy is quickly proving to be a win-win shopping tool for both the shopkeepers and their customers. The Shopping Kaddy offers the shoppers the convenience and comfort of carrying and transporting their purchases with ease and keeping their arms and hands free for browsing.

Soon, shoppers began asking the store owners if they could purchase their Shopping Kaddys. Before long we began receiving calls from these same eco-smart shoppers wanting to purchase their own Shopping Kaddy, not only to facilitate their shopping but to also use it instead of plastic shopping bags.

We listened to their compelling testimonials and we are now offering the consumer version of the Shopping Kaddy in an attractive green colour under the brandname My Eco Kaddy. It has been very flattering for us to develop the Eco Kaddy from public response.

The Eco Kaddy can be taken with you to the mall or store. You can comfortably carry it until it gets a little heavy, then put it down and extend its handle. Now you can continue shopping with it in tow as you roll through the aisles and mall corridors. After you have finished shopping, you can proceed to the checkout. Be proud when you say to the cashier, "I will not be requiring any bags today, thank you." Place your purchases back into the Eco Kaddy and proceed to the bus stop or to your car in the parking lot. Take your purchases home, up the stairs or onto the elevator to your apartment.

The Eco Kaddy can be one of your small lifestyles changes to help save the earth. We have seen the explosion of reusable bags onto the market in 2007. Nearly every store has jumped onto the craze of offering reusable bags with their logos all over them. You can get reusable bags for as little as 99 cents from some grocers. We'll ignore for the moment that these bags are mass produced in Asian sweatshops which exploit child labour, pay low wages, have substandard working conditions, and lack basic rights and freedoms. Or you can spend $199 for designer reusable bags that accesorize your shopping attire or make social-policital statement.

Don't get us wrong, we like reusable bags and what they offer, but honestly, how many do you need and how many can you possibly carry? The Eco Kaddy has taken the reusable bag way of shopping to a higher level of practicality. There is a time and place for a reusable bag, and there is also a time and place for the Eco Kaddy. We invite you to try the Eco Kaddy, and experience its practical features and environmental benefits. If you use your Eco Kaddy just once a week you will reduce the number of plastic bags you use by 250 bags per year!
