Finally, a steel shopping cart!,
The Melissa & Doug Shopping Cart was an unexpected find after going through screen after screen of overpriced plastic junk.
This cart is all steel, except for the plastic handle (which has a steel core), the folding plastic “kids” seat for a doll and the plastic wheels. This cart looks like the real ones in the stores and it’s built to last! Assembly is a breeze, too.
The two front wheels rotate 360 degrees for steering and they are mounted on spring loaded “legs”. If you child leans into the cart from the front or sides, it will compress causing a rubber “foot” to hit the floor and stop the cart from moving forward or backward. There are also rubber “feet” on the left and right sides.
The only “dangerous” thing I can see with this cart is where the plastic wheels are minimally covered by steel “fenders” for mounting purposes. I can foresee a pinched finger or two in our daughter’s future, but you can’t shield your children from everything in the world that might hurt them, nor do I feel you should. In this out-of-control P.C. country of ours, we’re raising a nation of coddled kids that can’t think or fend for themselves. OK, I’m off my soapbox!
One other thing, if this cart will be used indoors (and I’m sure it will be) it will be downright hazardous to your furniture. I have used the padded shipping material to create bumpers for the cart to try and protect our furniture. A little cutting with scissors and a few cable-ties and you’re in business.
Buy this cart first, you won’t be disappointed!

|Best of the Best,
This shopping cart looks so much like the real thing – it’s awesome! Not surprised, coming from the M&D brand. I didn’t understand what the straight legs were for, until my dh showed that when you push down on the cart, it actually pushes down, onto the pegs, to make sure kids aren’t jumping in the cart and making a car out of it – it will just stop and stay on the legs. Genius! I love that it has the folding seat for HuggyBear or Baby, or whoever my little girl loves at the moment. PERFECT toy. My daughter is 2, by the way. Younger than recommended, but I like to think she’s a little advanced.
Great Buy, Great Product!

|Well built and worth the $$$,
My daughter had a cheap plastic cart that she demolished fairly quickly with the constant play it received. I bought this cart after reading many reviews and I am glad I did. We have had it for about a month and it is holding up wonderfully. This cart pushes smoothly and can withstand rough play. Very safe.
