 Did you know.....?Oct 02, 2002
Some of you might have read the review that says the cart turns over easily. Well, most of these carts have a plastic plug on them. All you have to do is remove the plug and put some sand in the base of the cart. My child is in physical therapy 4X each week. This is a toy we use in our sessions. Our therapist shared this little hint with me, so I hope someone finds this helpful.

 WONDERFUL toy!!!Nov 20, 2001
I purchased this grocery cart for my 4 year old son and 2 year old daughter and they both LOVE it. I had searched for quite sometime for a sturdy basket and this is it!! It's tall enough for my 45" tall son to use comfortably and chunky enough for my 2 year old to push it with ease. Assembling takes a little time but once it was all put together it looked great!! Both kids play with it and often times argue over it. It has a seat for "baby" and that has been a lot of fun for my little girl. My son likes the open space beneath the basket because he can put "soda cans" underneath just like we do at a real grocery store. If you are looking for a grocery cart this is a FANTASTIC one.

Great toy but one safety hazardMay 25, 2004
This is a wonderful toy. My daughter, who is 12 months old, has had this toy for four months and has never tired of it. She loves to push it around and fill it up with her toys. It's also great for when kids are first walking since it has no sharp edges. There is only one safety issue: the toy comes with plastic play money -- dollars and coins. The dollars are fine, but the coins are a chokable hazard. Although they seem too large (which is why I didn't immediately throw them out), my daughter was able to get one lodged sideways in the back of her mouth and choked. If a family friend hadn't noticed, I'm afraid of what would have happened to my daughter. I happened to have the video tape on and was in the other room when it happened. When I play back the video tape, I'm horrified. My daughter clearly picks up the coin, inserts it in her mouth, then begins to choke and gag. Other than that, this is a truly great toy. Three of my friends have it and also love it. However, we have all thrown out the yellow plastic coins.Update to this review: I received a call from a representative at Little Tikes who was concerned about the possible choking/gagging hazard from the plastic coins that come with this toy. The rep said that they take safety concerns like this very seriously, and she's forwarding notes from our conversation to the design engineers at Little Tikes. I am very impressed with Little Tikes and believe that they're a caring company. The rep did mention one thing: this toy is for kids 24 months and older. I got it when my daughter was first walking (at 9 months), which might explain why the plastic coins posed more of a hazard than they might normally for the appropriate age range. However, since my daughter is tall and has loved the shopping cart from day one, I would still purchase it when I did. I would just throw out the plastic coins. I believe that Little Tikes is a wonderful company with equally great products, which is why so many of the toys I buy are made by them.

hidden danger with this toy for small childrenOct 19, 2001
My 14 month old loved pushing this around, but the first day we had it, her head and arm got stuck in the open area underneath the basket, completely immovable. It was difficult to assemble and doesnt feel as sturdy as the older model. We returned this toy.

Bum RapMar 08, 2002
By Kimberly Gilboy
..., I was hesitant to purchase this shopping cart. But, I knew my 20-month-old boy loves pushing carts and strollers (anything with wheels!) and I knew Little Tikes' reputation...and think the really bad review was a bum rap. Like other Little Tikes toys, the shopping cart is very sturdy and as stable as I can imagine it being. It was time-consuming to assemble -- although my son worked alongside me with a screwdriver and his drill, so we turned that into a positive. This shopping cart is NOT a walker -- its recommended for 18 months and above -- but its terrific for more experienced toddlers who are dying to push something. And, I'd imagine it'll be equally fun for Sean as he ages and becomes enmeshed with the world of make-believe.
