A stackable, vehicle-shaped, pushcart designed for transporting small children and cargo that can be stacked with a plurality of other pushcarts in a small confined space. The pushcart includes a lightweight frame assembly, an upward extending handle assembly, and a pivoting vehicle-shaped body. The vehicle-shaped body is disposed horizontally over the frame assembly and pivots upward on its rear section around a support member. The frame assembly is designed to be horizontally stacked with longitudinally aligned adjacent pushcarts when the body is disposed vertically. The frame assembly includes two front caster wheels and two rear large diameter wheels. The vehicle-shaped body includes a fully extending floor and has a unique outer shape thereby enabling the body to be vertically aligned so that the pushcart can be slid together and horizontally stacked in a compact manner with other similar pushcarts.
