The basket member defines at least one indentation at the intersection of at least one end and the bottom. There is an axle coupled to the basket member and carrying at least two wheels that are each located at least in part within an indentation and that are either flush with the bottom of the basket member or extend partially below the bottom surface of the basket member.
