I have regular reusable bags which I love (rume brand) but I would love something a bit bigger and these look so neat!

They look awesome but wouldn't they be heavy when they are full?!

I have two that I use for grocery shopping. I can fit a ton in them. They do get heavy, but are very sturdy. I would just make sure that they will fit the shopping carts at your store.

Thanks cairo06! The 2 stores I shop at the most both use pretty small metal carts so I think they should fit. Small favor - could you possibly measure the bottom dimensions for me (either in or cm, whichever is easier)? The trunk area in my mazda5 will be really tight once I have 3 kids in there and it would be great if these fit behind the 3rd row.

The bottom panel is circa 12.5 x 9 inches, but I don't think that really matters. Its an unstructured bag, so it expands to almost fit whatever you put into it. When mine are very full they just "splay" out when I place them in the trunk of my station wagon (nothing falls out though). If the space isn't too small it should work too.

Thanks so much - sounds perfect! The trunk is really really tight - about 12" at it's narrowest so I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be deforming the actual bottom if I put it there. I know the top is floppy enough to cram lots into!

Anyone know if these fit Target shopping carts?

The reuseit reviews have a bunch of complaints about them not being wide enough for bigger carts. Also not sure if they work with plastic carts at all. They do sell this other brand that's similar (http://www.reuseit.com/store/packntote-grocery-cart-helper-blue-p-982.html?slave_id=737) (and wider and cheaper).

Bumping because I just found yet another brand of these that's much cheaper: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&isAmazonFulfilled=&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&isCBA=&seller=A3PT1X1B9KR8IF

Still dithering on the reisenthels, which are the cutest of the bunch, by far.
