Haven't tried it yet, it's collecting dust in the garage, but from what I remember, I think to make it as convenient as possible the two large wheels come off easily.

There is a button that will let the wheel fold up toward the center shaft press the button and fold the wheel up first then pull the part that connects the handle two the center shaft up and fold it down.

There's a red gadget in the middle that connect the bottom with the top part right in the middle all you have to do is pull it towards you upward the cart would automatically folds and again when you open it it will be connect both part always fasten it once you spread it open

Cheryl, do the things the others mention. also the wire cable needs to clear the wheel, pull it out of the way before pulling up the square lock on the handel. It seems to always get hung up on the wheel therefore not allowing the cart to close. Just practice it a few times. Also put some lube on the shaft where the sliding square handel locks down on the cart....that dam cabel wire is always in the way of the wheel closing or opening...Practice it just like your putting....enjoy

The latch in the middle where you adjust the angle of the handle and basket. Pull the whole thing up and it lets you break it down. I know I was going crazy trying to figure it out but once you do it is so easy.

Sal Drago answered your question very well. Super easy. All that I would add is that the cart can also be collapsed this way with your bag attached. It will fit into most trunks this way.

With the device upright, pull on the top of the front panel and remove it. Using both hands, pull gently on the bag from behind it. I find that using a twisting motion works best. Dispose of the full bag. Replace with a new bag by gently (again with a twisting motion after separating the new bag folds) pushing from the front of the new bag and holding the cardboard facing around the hole. Be careful not to rupture the receptacle on the new bag.

It is very easy, don't get frustrated. On each side you will see where the rails come up, pull back on each, and it will collapse. Good luck

Very carefully, lol. There is a definite trick to it and I can't always say I get it on the first or fifth try. Grab the lower left corner and top right corner and twist it into itself. It may take a few tries but it will fold up eventually.

We did the same thing, but I can't remember for sure. I think my husband knocked it apart with his hand and then redid it. Also you will find it helpful to put something heavy in the bottom of it before you put the bag in. This will help as an aid when you go to remove the bag.

I have had no problems rolling it up. It might be challenging for someone with arthritis in their hands. Basically, you lay it out flat in the closed position, and then fold it in half in the long direction. You then roll it up tightly at this half-width, starting from the foot, keeping the bag folded and square as you go. At the top there is a built-in strap arrangement, using black cord, to hold the bag in its rolled-up position. It consists of a loop of cord on one side, fastened at each corner of the half-width of the bag, and a single cord with a plastic hook on it at the other side, centered on the half-width. The idea is to pull the middle of the loop around in one direction around the outside of the rolled-up bag, and then engage the hook in it from the other side. This creates a Y-shaped fastening that keeps the bag rolled up. It took me a few tries to figure out how this was supposed to work when I first got the bag, but it's not too hard to figure out. Pay attention to how it is rolled up when it arrives. The important thing is to roll the bag tightly and keep it square (even), rather than letting the bag edges slop out and roll up unevenly. keeping it tight makes it easier to fasten the cord. I know other people have complained about this arrangement in other reviews, but I don't have a problem with it. Alternatively a couple of short bungee cords would serve the same purpose of keeping the bag closed. I like the convenience of having the straps built in.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

There are little plastic tabs on the outside edge of the top support bar (if you put it together correctly). Just make sure the top of the bag and the string are hooked into those, then gently tighten the drawstring to hold it in place. In my experience the middle bag is the *most* secure attachment.

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

I would love if the seller could provide instructions or at least some helpful tips. Love the product, but it is definitely a struggle to figure out how to correctly put it back in the bag.

I lay it on it's side then push in every other edge of the octagon. By edge i mean the futhermost points sticking out and not the sides. After you have done three ibelieve, then u fold in half. As you fold keep the bottom folding also and not hanging out. This should all then slide into the zippered bag. I hope this has helped.

Honestly, it would be a tight squeeze. This bag is foldable but does not stay collapsed. I hope I was of some help.

I fold the bag 3 times lengthwise, roll it from the bottom up and secure it with a Velcro strap. With little effort I get a 5" diameter and 7" length. With a little effort or compression stuff sack smaller dimensions can be achieved.

yeah, a little tricky. There's a small tab to the left, just move it out a little and the compartment will open up. Others have had the same problem.

Try using WD40 and it should make it easier to un fold, its hard because of the shipping and if its cold its harder as well.

pull on the top level and it will collapse down like other racks, keep in mind the rack is heavier and more sturdy than most.

I was stuck on how to disassemble the rack for a couple of minutes also. I don't have it in front of me right now to give you a better explanation, but I remember pushing in the parts that fold. I think I just gave it a little wack like it was the inside of an elbow. Sorry I couldn't be more specific. Ill try and add to this later when I go home this weekend.
