This shopping cart is everything and more, easy to assemble, sturdy. My 15 month old absolutely loves it, great for when your baby toddler is walking and needs a stable pushing toy, great push walker and fun. Totally recommended.

Shopping made easy

The shopping cart was sturdy and easy to put together. Our 1year. old granddaughter, and her 3 and 4 year old brothers enjoyed playing with it. Her doll fit perfectly on the seat.

Trust the 3+ age recomendation

So cute and sturdy but trust the 3+ age limit. I got it for my 1.5 year old thinking he would love to push it around. It’s too much for him so the toy has to go back. Very well made and will probably buy it again when he’s older.

Cute and simple

I bought this for my 15 month old niece and it’s maybe a few inches taller than her but it’s perfect It’s amazing! Simple to construct and easy to push It’s a little overpriced maybe cause it’s Melissa and Doug but other than that it is amazing
