Abstract: A device for carrying a load, such as plastic bags that are used for carrying items purchased at supermarkets. The device can be used to carry the load by hand, on a shoulder or on a forearm. The device has a central portion, including a handle and a spaced apart support member defining a non-collapseable opening dimensioned to receive a hand. The support member has a concave downwardly facing surface for securely positioning the device on a shoulder or forearm. Hooks are attached on opposite ends of the central portion for receiving at least one load handle. Free end portions of the hooks are in resilient contact with the central portion.
