Jon, you’re right. If you run an apparel website you don’t need to use the term car, as it be more appropriate to use bag or similar terms. Particularities, like the target countries, were not take into account at the time I did this research. Thanks for the update and letting us know about the trolleys. We use that term here to describe the trolley cars :)

Traiann, it’s not necessarily about choosing between cart and bag, but more about which side of “the pond” your website is aimed at. In the UK, cart is hardly ever used, mainly because we use the word trolley instead of cart in shops. Note that Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk both use the same icon (image 8 above) but the words are cart and basket respectively. I would suggest that most UK based sites use the word basket.

Are these from the corresponding sites and therefore not useable on designs?

Yes, you’re right about the ‘basket’ usage. It’s about choosing between ‘cart’ and ‘bag’.

Thanks for this post – I’ve been looking for stats on cart vs. basket usage. I am actually surprised at how few actually do use ‘basket’. Good stuff – thanks!
