Melissa & Doug Toy Shopping Cart With Sturdy Metal Frame

This is very sturdy... I bought this for my great granddaughter 4yrs old.... I babysit her twice a week.... On the the last day I take her to the dollar store and then to the market to let her pick snacks... I get a kick watching her shop, lol she does it with confidence.... she looks so cute pushing it through the isles.. She gets alot of attention lol and she eats it up.... Great memories for me, and I hope for her.... do I recommend this, yes definitely...

My daughter is 2 and had been pushing around a plastic kid’s chair saying it’s her “shopping cart.” My mommy brain immediately added it to my list of things she MUST have haha. I came across this shopping cart on FB Marketplace but it was sold before I could get my hands on it. I was shocked to find the original retail price to be INSANE. It went on sale and that’s when I decided to just buy it. No regrets. It was still more than I would’ve wanted to pay but it fully functions, is very sturdy, it’s adorable, and will last a long long time. I chose this over other options including the plastic ones because it really is like a real shopping cart, rotating wheels, functional seat, great basket size, and it had the best reviews overall. No issues putting it together. My partner didn’t even look at the instructions. Get it on sale. I would not pay full price for this even though it’s very good quality for a kid’s toy. Only thing—I wish it had the bottom area like real shopping carts!

So happy with this. Sturdy, easy to assemble, 20 month old grandson LOVES it. Also bought it for 2 yr old granddaughter AND SHE LOVES IT. Just a touch big, will be great until 5.

Just got the cart for my 1YO daughter and right out of the box it’s apparently clear that this toy is built with quality and durability in mind. It’s a lot heavier than I expected it to be, which is a great thing, as my daughter is still learning to walk with assistance and I think it’s very improbable that she’ll be able to tip it. It rolls smoothly and the front wheels have a spring mechanism that will stop it from moving if there’s too much weight inside the cart (what an awesome idea!). As for durability, this thing is SOLID and will probably outlast generations to come. They simply do not make toys like this anymore and it’s amazing to see a company putting out quality toys like this in today’s day and age.

Yes this is an expensive shopping cart but it is well made, easy to assemble, and a great little addition to their play room.

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.

My kids love this cart! We’ve had it for about 4 years now and still works like new.

I had high hopes for this kids cart, and it far exceeded my expectations. Price was AWESOME and I can hardly call it a toy considering how sturdy and well made it is. My 3 year old is going to freak out to have his very own grocery cart at the store. He can pretend play at home, but he takes shopping and cooking very seriously so this is going to be great for him to truly feel like a big kid with me. Super easy to assemble, too!

Our little one refuses to use a walker after her leg surgery. She was in double casts and very tippy. She’s age 5.We added a 5lb weight and we let her push around her dolly.She loves it.Definetly cute.Seems very Durable and well made.Good value for money.Our child is always using it now to get around after physio suggested trying it.Good ease of assembly. Husband put it together quicklyFun for kids who love kitchen stuff!

Good quality and easy to assemble

Tuve muchas expectativas por este carrito, cuando lo vi me encantó, tiene buen tamaño, mi niño mide 110cm. Y se le acomoda perfecto, esta hecho de muy buen material (no le pide nada a un carrito de super), super fácil de armar, creo que la larga mejor nos aburrirnos de el, que el carrito muestre deterioro, sin duda lo volvería a comprar.

My son loves this shopping cart. It was very easy to put together and he loves wheeling it around the house pretending he is shopping while grabs items out of the pantry. It is just like the kid's shopping trolleys that you see in shopping centres.

Exactly what we wanted
