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.

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.

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
She loves it!

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 - 2 years 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

It seems like it can be hit or miss based on the reviews, but thankfully ours had no rust or issues. It’s sturdy and we also have the supermarket and my kids love playing with it.
