Wheelbarrow or cart?

I'm not seeing the advantage f having a u shaped handle on a wo wheeled wheebarrow. Surely you'd still have to hold it in the air? It would just be a bit more stable.Personally, I'll be going for a cart affair when I can/t use my wheelbarrow any more.Non me fac calcitrare tuum culi1

I am only an old bloke, but I find a sack truck with large pneumatic tyres goes most places.

@-taff When I use a traditional wheelbarrow with 2 separate handles, the position of my arms is dictated by the wheelbarrow handle positions, and I can only stick my elbows out and take the full weight on my biceps.
With a U shaped handle, I can position my hands closer together, and brace my elbows into my sides and, if necessary, clutch the handle to my chest bracing it against my ribs.
That's my logic and hope it makes sense. If there was a traditional wheelbarrow, with a U shaped single handle, that would be perfect.1
