Elderly Fashionable Living: Fashion Shopping Cart

The demand for assistive devices among the elderly population has been steadily increasing in recent years. According to the latest population estimates, Taiwan is projected to enter a "super-aged society" by 2025, with the population aged 65 and over exceeding 20% of the total population.

The aging population and the increase in life expectancy are leading to a gradual rise in life-related issues, making it the largest vulnerable group in the future. How to embrace aging and the inconveniences it brings with a healthy and positive mindset will be a crucial issue in the future.

Many people believe that as they age, their mobility slows down, leading to a simpler and less active lifestyle. However, research has shown that elderly individuals who engage in regular outings tend to have better health and longevity compared to those who stay indoors. Regular outings provide opportunities to train physical mobility and interact with others, which is beneficial for both physical and mental health.

Studies have indicated that the risk of mortality for elderly individuals who go out for activities every day is over 25% lower than those who do not. The National Health Research Institutes of Taiwan also pointed out that seniors who go out daily have a 27% lower risk of death compared to those who go out less than once a week, with a significant difference observed between men and women.

Many seniors enjoy daily walks or shopping trips, but as they age, they may struggle with weak knees or arthritis, making it difficult to walk or walk long distances. Over time, the inconvenience of walking may lead to a reluctance to go out, resulting in prolonged inactivity at home, which can accelerate knee and leg muscle degradation, leading to more serious health issues.

Famica has developed and designed a series of fashionable safety aids suitable for the elderly, ranging from indoor handrails and guardrails to outdoor canes. One such product is the "Stylish Seat Shopping Cart," which assists the elderly in walking, shopping, and resting. It is tailored specifically for the active lifestyle of the elderly who enjoy going out.


The "Stylish Seat Shopping Cart" from Famica is a must-have mobility aid for seniors on the go. It not only solves the inconvenience of carrying heavy items while shopping but also features a design that instantly converts the shopping cart into a seat. Whether strolling in the park or shopping at the market, it's perfect for taking a rest when feeling tired. This allows for a much-needed relaxation for the knees and legs.


The "Stylish Seat Shopping Cart" combines the functionality of a shopping cart and a seat, featuring a unique structural design that allows for quick one-button conversion between seat and cart modes. When used as a shopping cart, its larger wheels facilitate smooth navigation up and down stairs, while in seat mode, the wheels are suspended to ensure stability, transforming the cart into a genuine seat.

In addition to these features, thoughtful designs such as a 100kg weight capacity, thickened and reinforced handles, and a water-resistant detachable shopping bag enhance its usability. Its sleek and eye-catching design has earned it the prestigious "Red Dot Design Award" for design excellence.

Allowing for adequate rest for the legs is a boon for seniors who often suffer from knee arthritis. Regular outings for shopping and strolls not only promote physical activity and the development of exercise habits but also facilitate social interaction, keeping both body and mind happy beyond the confines of home.

Maintaining a healthy level of physical activity can help delay cognitive decline, stimulate appetite, and promote overall well-being. Therefore, it's important to encourage seniors around us to venture outdoors and engage in activities. Famica hopes that the use of the "Stylish Seat Shopping Cart" will encourage seniors to enjoy going out more and be willing to walk longer distances, ultimately leading to better health!
