How do I place the Lotus Trolley Bags inside the cart?
The bags and rods are tapered in size to be narrow at the front of the cart and wider in the back where the kiddo sits. Place your LTB in the cart, making sure the outer, largest bag is in the back, closest to you. Then spread the bags toward the front of the cart. Velcro connects the bags to each other so no loose items will fall to the bottom of the cart while you shop. Once your bags are properly in the cart, tuck in any handles.

How do I roll up Lotus Trolley Bag?
The Lotus Trolley Bag rolls up into a lightweight over-the-shoulder carrier. To roll up your bags, start by laying the largest bag flat with the Lotus logo facing down. We like to flatten the bag along its original creases. Then, stack the three remaining bags largest to smallest, this time with the Lotus logo facing up. Grab the velcro tab at the bottom of the biggest bag and roll up to meet the velcro strip right above the Lotus logo. Use the closure loop to secure the shoulder strap. Need a visual?
