    • Sturdy little cart!
My 8 year old daughter saw this cart at a local shop where it was used in a child's play area. She fell in love with it and wanted one to go along with her toy cash register. So when we got home I looked on Amazon and was surprised at the price of the cart. I was thinking it would be a $30 or less item. So I searched all around and couldn't find a better price than the one offered here at Amazon. I thought about it for weeks before ordering. There were many other carts out there for less money but none of them got the glowing reviews that this little cart got. I finally bit the bullet and purchased the cart and I am so glad I did. My daughter plays with it every single day. She and her friends go "shopping" and fill the cart with items from our pantry. Then she rings them up at her cash register and bags them up and brings them "home" so she can put them away. It's a wonderful teaching tool as one day she will be a wife and mother and will have to do these things for real! She and her friends get so much enjoyment out of this toy that I am sorry I didn't get it sooner and all of the play time has made it well worth the money I paid. It's simple to put together, very sturdy, won't tip due to thoughtful construction on Melissa and Doug's part and it will be a toy that my daughter can some day pass along to her daughter. I think it will last forever as it's made from real metal that is very thick and strong. It seems like my daughter is going to be too tall for it maybe within the next year or two, but I honestly don't think that will stop her from using it! I wish they sold a taller version or could turn the handle into an adjustable height handle. That would be the perfect solution so that taller kids could use it. My daughter loves to put her doll or purse in the little seat up front as well. It's a great toy that gets and A++ review from this buyer! ... show more

    • Great for any child who likes to play store
My granddaughter loves her shopping cart. We play store almost every time I see her. It holds a lot. The cart is very sturdy and made of the best materials.

    • This is how all toys should be made!
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. ... show more

We and our toddler loved it when we came across a small grocery store that had these wonderful metal chopping carts for toddlers to use so we had to find one - we think this Melissa & Doug metal shopping cart is exactly like the one we saw in the grocery store. We have brought it out for our toddler to grocery shop with us at little markets & mainstream grocery stores - a little crazy chasing a toddler down with it in a grocery store but she loves it so much & we let her pick out some groceries to put it in & go through all the motions of shopping with us. She also loves playing with this all over our house, pushing it around with all the things in it - her stuffies & dollys, her kitchen items, “grocery shopping” at home with it, using it to race around the house. And yes sometimes banging into us and running over our feet & hitting our legs - it hurts FYI. 😂 ... show more

    • 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. ... show more
