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.
No one wants to deal with these types of issues but you need to look at the larger picture here.
I really like this shopping cart. My daughter had one when she was 2 years old in 1991. I purchased this one for my granddaughter who is a one year old.
I believe some of the negative reviews regarding safety may be questionable.
Why are children using this metal shopping cart at home and running into walls and furniture? I'm not sure why parents would allow this or where are the parents when the children have access to this item which is clearly made and constructed to be used in a shopping environment and not in home.
I'm sure parents have indoor toys for playtime just like they have outdoor toys which are not used indoors.
This shopping cart is fun and can be used as a learning tool for the child but it's suppose to be used at the grocery store or other shopping venues and not outside in the yard or dirt or on uneven surfaces or in the house. This really makes no sense to me to complain how unsafe an item is when clearly it is not being used properly for the use it is designed to be used.
It's made out of heavy-duty material and will do damage and parents should be aware which toys and learning tool-toys should be used indoors, outdoors, and other places. You would not allow children to use their baseball bats, footballs or soccer balls to have full-blown activity in your home.This is not rocket science.
Example: This is an oldie but a goodie and only one example of not practicing common sense:
Someone purchased a hot coffee beverage from a very large, well-known fast-food establishment and placed the coffee between their legs in their vehicle. That was the first lack-of-common sense decision.
They proceeded to sue the company because the coffee was too hot and they had burns on their flesh between their legs when they proceeded to drive and and squeezed the cup and popped the lid off.
Now, had they burned their mouth then I might buy into this but they placed it between their legs while driving.
This is not brain surgery. if one does not have enough sense NOT to place it between their legs while driving then maybe getting burned will teach a lesson..........but if not, then they are in for some real treats in life if they keep using these practices in there life.
But no one is to blame because practiced poor judgement. We need to be responsible human beings and parents. We are suppose to be teaching these skills to our children.
I totally get it why parents are having "safety" issues with this shopping cart. It's pretty similar to why we do not stick our fingers into light sockets or take a bath with plugged in electrical appliances like blow dryers and curling irons within reach or proximity of that bathtub of water. One could be electrocuted..........it's a safety issue.
Enjoy your day! Stay safe!
