Little Tikes Shopping Cart - Yellow/Red

I purchased the little tykes shopping cart as a Christmas gift for my 2 year old grandson. He loved it. So did my grandson that will be one in a couple of weeks. I now have to get him one for his birthday. I like that it is sturdy for their age, not flimsy. The basket area is big for them to put stuff in. Really good product, can't go wrong with little tykes.

I'd been "shopping" for a shopping cart a few weeks now for my 15 month old son. He isn't walking yet and his physical therapist recommended using a shopping cart for a push-toy since my (very tall) son needs help learning to walk but is too big for most walker toys at this point. I checked a variety of second-hand and big box stores and all of the carts I found seemed to be made of very cheap plastic that would break easily if any pressure were put on it. Also they seemed too top-heavy which made them wobbly/unstable and they were short over all, handlebar height coming up to around 15-18 inches.I bit the bullet and purchased this one based on the other positive reviews and I'm so glad I did. It took about 20 minutes to assemble (NOTE: You'll need a hammer and phillips screwdriver). My husband helped a little but one person could easily do it. I actually liked assembling it so I could see how it was put together and gauge how sturdy it would be. The plastic feels very thick and durable, the wheels are solid construction, and the colors are very appealing (I had a hard time keeping my son away while we tried to put it together). There is also a plug on the bottom where you can fill the bottom interior compartment with sand to give the cart some added heft, perfect for helping a little pre-walker feel more secure.The cart basket section is about 21 inches high with the handlebar height coming up to about 23 1/2 inches, the rest of the cart is about 12 inches wide and 21 inches deep--perfect for my 33" tall son to use for walking. I am already so impressed with this shopping cart and it's only been out of the box for about 2 hours. So far it's worked well on all indoor surfaces: tile, wood flooring, and carpet. I expect it would hold up well outdoors too. The quality and sturdiness far surpasses any of the cheap plastic carts I'd looked at in-person at the various stores. If you are going to buy a plastic shopping cart, make it this one. (I didn't look into metal carts because my son is still getting his bearings and I didn't want to worry about him accidentally hurting himself.)FYI: Some reviews talked about this cart coming with play money/coins that were a choking hazard and also someone's child getting their head stuck in a compartment. The dates on those reviews are from the early 2000s and this cart must have been redesigned since then because it doesn't come with any additional items (no play food or money) and I can't see anywhere a child could get their head stuck.

cute and fun! light to push

My son used this cart for middle school “other than a book bag day”. It fit his laptop and books he needed for class. He even decorated it with chalk markers. Now his brother will be able to use it next year and then they’ll give it to my grand baby. Easy assembly and sturdy.

We use it in the house for now but plan to take it to the grocery store one day. It’s a great tool for walking. My son loves to test it to see if it’ll break and it hasn’t

Wow, what a great gift this made for the little one who just enjoys shopping around the house. Assembly was very easy except to the insertion of the steel axle rod into the slots on the bottom of the carriage. It just seemed a little iffy the way they get installed and are held in place but after 1 month of rugged use, its still holding together. The price seemed just a tad on the high side. I just wish it came with some of those toy pieces of food but that was solved by buying such a package also available from Amazon.

I have bought a few of these shopping carts and both are will in great condition. They are only played with inside so I'm not sure about the fade issue that some Little Tikes toys have after long exposure to the elements outside. I have an old one that is grey and white, and recently bought a pink and white and side by side you can't tell which one is the old one. I wanted another color so when I saw this yellow and red one I had to buy it for the boys......who don't like girl colors. These shopping carts have helped some of my daycare kids learn to walk because they are so well balanced, sturdy and last so long. Kids up to ages 8-10 have played with my Little Tikes shopping carts because they are great for racing. lol

I’m glad I purchased this shopping cart verse some of the other ones I was looking into. My son is learning to walk and it’s a great height and it does not tip over . He’ll be able to use for years because it’s a nice talk height . The basket is a great size for toys. Doesn’t scuff up my cabinets either. It took about 10 minutes to put together with a screw gun and hammer.
