Abstract: A self-retracting cart for use in the cargo bay of a sport utility vehicle. When a pair of front wheels are caused to roll on and into the cargo bay by the self-retracting cart for use in the cargo bay of a sport utility vehicle being pushed therein, a push plate is caused to press against the rear edge of the cargo bay and traverse rearwardly causing a pair of arms to traverse rearwardly and cause a pair of spreader brackets to fold which causes a pair of front struts to pivot upwardly against a bottom wall of the basket and retract a pair of intermediate wheels against the pair of side walls of the basket and out of the way and thereby retracting the front wheel assembly.
