Editorial Review: Shopping for groceries with Mommy will seem more real than ever with this pintsize poultry and produce carrier. Though only about 2 feet high, the red-and-yellow cart is designed to resemble a grownup's cart. It even includes a fold-up space with leg holes near the cart's handle--Mommy usually sits baby there in a real cart--where tots can place a tiny doll. Bright blue plastic wheels add contrast and additional color to this cart, which will last as long as your child's toddler years. --Diane Beall
Not very happy I bought this product as a gift for my niece. First of all the cart in the picture and the cart you receive are different colors. The most important problem is the wheels dont stay on. Everytime she goes to push the cart the wheel covers keep comong off.
Both children got stuck Both my three year old daughter and 15 month old son have now gone through a stage where they like to flip the shopping cart on its side and climb into the area between the cart and wheels, getting stuck. One of the times my son was stuck, the cart tipped over with him in it, hitting his head on the wall and we thought he had injured the leg that was stuck. My kids have so much fun pushing the cart around and pretending to shop... It's a shame we'll have to pack this one up for their safety.
Poor Engineering, Wheel covers will not stay on Do they not assembly these at the factory and test the tolerances for themselves? I assembled per the instructions and when my two year old gave it a test drive, the blue wheel covers fell off. If the good folks at Little Tikes want to save a little money on manufacturing and not create some sort of tab fasteners and use a friction fit instead, at least get the tolerances right. This was the one part that required just a little engineering and they just blew it. I can't tell you how disappointed the wife and I are at the low quality from such an established brand.
Sturdy enough for a grocery store! The Trader Joe's near my house has a few of these for kids to use - when I go for a few groceries this is the only cart we take and my 18 month old proudly pushes it through the grocery store as we stock up. The only problem is that when I am not looking she loads it up with stuff she likes :-) But it makes the errand fun and she loves the attention.
Heavy Duty & Built to Last If you are looking for a toy that will get alot of use and will be able to withstand the test of time - and the abuse of a 3 year old who drags it up and down stairs, knocks it over and fills it full with heavy items of all kinds - this is the right choice for you. I think it's even more stable than those toys that babies are supposed to push and learn to walk behind. Those always seemed dangerous to me because the second my daughter leaned forward, the wheeled cart or ride on toy took off and my kid did a face plant into the carpet. With this shopping cart, you could put stuff in it to weigh it down a little more so it doesn't get away from them. 2 years later, she still plays with it every day. I would highly recommend this item.
