A lightweight, aluminum cooler caddy is supported by four wheels and is of a lengthwise telescoping construction. A pivoting adjustable length handle allows the caddy to be pulled by a user, and tiedown straps which hold a cooler to the caddy also operate to lock the caddy at a desired length. An angulated rear brace facilitates a slidable lifting of the cooler from the caddy, and a strap storage compartment is positioned beneath the brace.
