Cute & perfect cart for kids to “pretend “ shop or push their “babies “ around. Great toy!

Looks, Feels, and Sounds Like the Real Thing
There are many toys that can make a child feel like he or she is in the grocery store imitating mom or dad, but most of them are meant for mild play at home and don’t last for very long. Even though some stores use carts with plastic baskets, most still use carts with wire baskets and metal tube frame. The Melissa & Doug Shopping cart reminds me of the ones used in nearly every store that provides carts for customers to use.The Melissa & Doug grocery-style shopping cart is so very realistic, we just adore it for our child. The Melissa & Doug Shopping Cart is made of a large gauge wire basket and very similar tubular frame, it has the typical fold out child seat with plastic bottom shield for a child’s baby, and the plastic cover over the handle looks just like the ones at stores we frequent.This cart also has two other features not found on typical carts: anti-tipping riggers and spring-loaded front wheels. Since the cart is smaller it has a narrower wheel base. This cart has anti-tipping riggers with rubber feet to help prevent the the cart from tipping which might result with a hurt child or damaged walls or flooring. The spring-loaded front wheels are a nice ‘surprise’ feature, too. These springs keep the cart from having such a rigid feel to it. It’s too small for my children to get into (by design, I think), but when the kids lean over the end of the cart to get something out (like mom and dad do at the store) the springs allow the cart to lower which prevents the basket from pressing too hard on little ribs and tummies. This feature was an unexpected bonus we never would have missed, but really appreciate.We like the durability and the realistic appearance, but what makes this toy even better is that the cart SOUNDS like the mom and dad’s cart at the store. Plus, this ‘toy’ is actually very functional and useful. We also bought Melissa & Doug Wooden Pantry Products for playing at home, but this doesn’t stop us from taking our little cart on real shopping trips.We take this cart with us to the store for our little one to shop along side us when we visit the store and use shopping time as a way to teach our child how to be responsible at the store. Our child gets to carry some of the groceries or other items as we peruse and learns how to respect other shoppers at the store and how to handle a babydoll. Another lesson we try to teach is that everything she puts in her basket has to be purchased; we don’t purchase what we can’t afford. I believe this teaches confidence in doing the things she will one day need to do to provide and follow a budget.If this were any other type of toy cart, we wouldn’t feel comfortable bringing it to the store. Other than it’s small size, this cart looks like it belongs in the store. What we have found from this one ‘toy’ purchase is that we are getting so much more from this than we could have imagined. I believe all of our discovery about how this basket can be sued is attributed to its appearance, feel, and strong construction.As you could probably tell, we recommend this product if you are looking for something like this for your child.

Well made
Ease of assembly. Well made

Great quality!
Perfect size for kids 1-4, my daughter loves it has not fallen once. Beware that if you have lifts between rooms you’ll probably have to help your toddler switch rooms due to the support legs.

This is a great toy and walker for the littles. The kids love filling it up with all of their toys not just food. The wheels and metal are like that of a real shopping cart, it’s very realistic. Shipping was fast, price is reasonable considering the quality is so good would highly recommend.

Good quality and easy to assemble

My kids love it, it’s very solid just like a real one, wheels roll smoothly. Definitely better than the plastic ones, worth the price difference!
