Ever wondered what these two loops are for on shopping trolleys? You’ll feel daft when you find out

HAVE you ever wondered, while browsing the aisles at your local supermarket, what those little loops are for on the child seat?
Many of you may not have even noticed them, but it turns out they serve a very handy purpose and could make your weekly shop a heck of a lot easier.

The loops are actually there for you to hang carrier bags from. Seems obvious now, right?
It's a great idea, as it stops bags containing softer items like bread, eggs, fruit and vegetables from getting squashed by the heavier goods.
The ingenious trick was brought to our attention by Twitter user @LifeHacks, who posted a snap of the metal loops being used in all their glory.
