1. Capacity and place settings

Two-person sets suit couples; four-person kits cover family picnics. Confirm plate and glass counts match your group and whether wine holders are included.

2. Insulation and cooler sections

Insulated liners and cooler bags keep salads and drinks colder on hot AEST afternoons. Pre-chill packs and limit how often you open the lid.

3. Wicker, backpack and hybrid designs

Wicker looks classic for short carries; backpacks suit longer walks; hybrids add fold-out mats. Measure boot space if the basket is rigid.

4. Care after sandy and grassy parks

Shake out sand, wipe sticky spills promptly and dry textiles before storage. Replace cracked plastic inserts rather than risk sharp edges.
