The biggest disappointment (among many) about this toy is that the items that go in the cart are so small that they do not even cover the bottom of the cart if all laid down flat. In the picture, the cart is overflowing with groceries. I realize it says that items may vary from what is shown in the picture, but it says due to “constant improvement” insinuating that what you get may actually be better than what you see. What a joke! Furthermore, the fake money looked like it was printed off from a home computer and had to be cut apart by hand, no perforation or anything…same for the “coupons” and “shopping list” that came with it. In addition, the seat for a doll is not big enough for any doll I’ve ever seen. It’s barely big enough for a Beanie Baby stuffed animal. It is also mostly plastic, not metal like the advertisement insinuated. If you are looking for a shopping cart for your toddler, keep looking. This is not a good value.

This shopping cart is not very sturdy – VERY wobbly!! It is VERY small and won’t hold much food. The ‘seat’ for doll would not hold most dolls it is VERY small – maybe a weibkin. It arrived with VERY small pretend food (not as pictured) and no money/coupons/or list as promised. I would NOT buy this item again — buy a sturdier one that will last!!

I almost wonder if some of the earlier reviews are of a different product. The one I just assembled is pretty flimsy. Be aware that although the description says “metal frame”, the basket itself is plastic. It hangs off of the frame by just two plastic clips. I am not sure how well it’s going to hold up to my toddlers’ play but I suspect they are going to pull it apart in short order. It’s cute but I wish I’d paid about half of what I did for it (which, incidentally, is about half of what it’s currently listed for on here).

It’s a cute cart and the kids love it and the groceries that come with it, but it’s really disappointing durablility-wise. It’s always coming apart. It doesn’t break, but you have to snap it all back together. When the basket isn’t coming apart, it sags. Overall, very weak holding up to normal 2 1/2 year old play. I will look for something much sturdier. Btw, the groceries are pretty cheaply put together as well and are easily crushed, torn, etc.

My 5 year old has had this toy since he was two and he still pushes it around. It’s definately durable – he’s not easy on it! I’m here to buy another one for my soon to be 2 year old because they have started to fight over it. It’s one of the few toys that caught and kept my kids attention over time.
