Tami Galt
Fold-it & Go Portable Wagon
Galt describes her inspiration: "It's like a children's wagon only it folds up like a camping chair and fits in a bag so you can take it with you. My idea came from going to the farmer's market and having too much to carry. My back always hurt afterwards, and I'd be full of bundles. I looked around and everybody was using these old lady wire carts and I figured I would never be old enough to look like a little old lady with a wire cart. But I saw a few people with little red wagons and I thought those looked cute, but I couldn't get them into my car so I thought there must be a way to make them fold down easier so you could fit them in your car."
