A device having a cuboidal basket portion 102 defining a cavity 104 for receiving items. A front pair of legs 116 and rear pair of legs 122 are pivotally attached to the basket portion such that the legs are pivotable about a first axis 118 and second axis 124 respectively, and front and rear legs having a wheel 120 at a lower end. A handle 128 is pivotally attached to the basket portion such that the handle is pivotable around a third axis 130. The device is configurable in a basket configuration in which the handle has a horizontal portion located across a width of the basket portion and above a central portion of an open top 108, for carrying the device and the front and rear pairs of legs are collapsed so that the wheels are located adjacent to a base 106 of the basket portion.
