Grocery Aid

Grocery Aid - open-source assistive technology working model by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

Carrying multiple bags is often uncomfortable, awkward, and tiring. This solution improves comfort, grip, and ease of transport while remaining simple, accessible, and useful for people of all abilities.

Who it helps

Anyone who carries multiple bags, including shoppers, commuters, older adults, travelers, and people with limitations in hand strength or grip.

How it works

The handle distributes weight more evenly across the hand, reduces pressure from thin bag handles, and allows users to carry multiple bags with greater comfort and control.

An ergonomic grocery bag holder that combines multiple bag handles into a single, comfortable grip, making everyday carrying easier, more comfortable, and more efficient.

Tools needed

Prusa slicer

FDM Printer
