I absolutely love this shopping cart!!! Very nice quality! Five stars adorable! It is made of metal instead of plastic like most shopping carts that are sold. It will last through both grandchildren and probably generations to come.

Do NOT let your little one use this around drywall. This cart is better built than the ones in stores. Sure to create a dent when your kid inevitably crashes it into a wall. Too bad not all carts are made this well. My daughter loves putting her baby dolls in the front basket. Great toy.
Seems fine for 2yo

Tricia - 4 months ago, Verified purchaser
no tiny parts that come off as far as I can see it and it's the perfect height for my two-year-old. It stays Staveley on the ground unlike other ones, of course make sure they don't run it into a window or over a toe as it's heavy duty
Great for kids

This grocery cart, being made of metal, is VERY heavy. Both my granddaughter & grandson had it tip over sideways on them (I was playing right along side them) and it landed on their legs. It created a pretty good ouchy. Needless to say, this is no longer in our playroom but stored out of sight in our basement.

Rusty Cart - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
The first cart I ordered came rusted in multiple places. I thought it might have been a storage mistake. I went through the process of returning the item to order another one. The second one also was delivered rusted in multiple places. The box was not wet and I was home when it was delivered.

I bought 2 of these carts in the past 5 months and have had no issues with the quality. My last purchase was a major fail. Something went serious wrong with the final product coating. It's not rusted but it's not finished. I can't give this as a gift, it looks horrible.

Uneven wheels on a flat surface

While my son loves this cart, it is completely uneven. One wheel is always significantly lifted, either the front right or the back left depending on where you have pressure applied. It makes it difficult for him to push straight, so if we take it with us to the store he is constantly running into stuff in the aisles which is cause for concern!
