Melissa & Doug Shopping Cart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Melissa & Doug Shopping Cart was an unexpected find after going through screen after screen of overpriced plastic junk.
This cart is all steel, except for the plastic handle (which has a steel core), the folding plastic "kids" seat for a doll and the plastic wheels. This cart looks like the real ones in the stores and it's built to last! Assembly is a breeze, too.
The two front wheels rotate 360 degrees for steering and they are mounted on spring loaded "legs". If you child leans into the cart from the front or sides, it will compress causing a rubber "foot" to hit the floor and stop the cart from moving forward or backward. There are also rubber "feet" on the left and right sides.
The only "dangerous" thing I can see with this cart is where the plastic wheels are minimally covered by steel "fenders" for mounting purposes. I can foresee a pinched finger or two in our daughter's future, but you can't shield your children from everything in the world that might hurt them, nor do I feel you should. In this out-of-control P.C. country of ours, we're raising a nation of coddled kids that can't think or fend for themselves. OK, I'm off my soapbox!
One other thing, if this cart will be used indoors (and I'm sure it will be) it will be downright hazardous to your furniture. I have used the padded shipping material to create bumpers for the cart to try and protect our furniture. A little cutting with scissors and a few cable-ties and you're in business.
Buy this cart first, you won't be disappointed!

Super Shopper Shopping Cart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The front kept popping off of our cart. Finally after a year of replacing it over and over the plastic connecting piece on one side broke off, making the cart useless because it had no front. The separate seat for a baby doll is cute, though.

Play Smarter Shop and Learn Market Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got a good laugh when this register asked my child to "Scan the protein", I mean c'mon, this is a kids toy, do they really care about protein?
Anyway, this is a very neat toy that implants radio-frequency identifiers (RFID) into toy foods, so that your child can literally scan them across the reader and the toy will pick up on what the food was.
There are three difficulty levels for your child, even a 'quiz' where you can see how smart they are after answering a series of questions.
Some complaints I have about this toy:
* All the numbers on the register goes unused in the normal functionality of the games. Sure your children can push the numbers, but it never gets more detailed than that. For a register, and different numbered items, I would have liked to see some addition and subtraction and not just 'scan this item' games.
* If you ever lost one of the foods, the games would be very difficult to play. These are smaller pieces, and there is no easy way to store all the stuff that goes with the game with the game. It's going to be up to you as the parent to keep all the pieces safe!

This interactive shopping center has two learning modes, each with three levels of play. The first mode lets kids scan items and hear the register identify them. The second mode tests little shoppers on their ability to recognize different foods, colors and numbers, and it allows parents to see their child's progress. As kids move through the three levels of learning, they advance through three levels of play patterns.
The Shop and Learn Market not only teaches your child, but encourages hours of imaginative role play. Hear the scanner beep when an object is placed in front of it. Playset includes 10 food items, a pretend-play credit/debit card and make-believe bills. Measures 24"L x 8"W x 15"H. Requires three "AA" batteries, not included. Product colors may vary from those shown in the image.

Learning Resources Fruit & Vegetable Play Food Basket, Set of 13 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Play food - marvellous stuff. My daughters love it. They use it for tea parties, to learn fruit and vegetable name/colours/shapes. They pretend to go shopping, they love to pile everything in the basket and just carry it around. They feed fruit to their teddys and dolls and to me. There is so much you can do with play food - they use their imagination to play the game and I no longer find food missing from our fruit bowl or vegetable crisper in toy boxes!
All the fruit and vegetables fit in this basket and can be easily carried around. The fruit and vegetables are made of strong plastic and have held up quite well despite being thrown, stood on, chewed and thrown in the bath. Easy to wash in warm soapy water to keep clean.

Melissa & Doug Wooden Pantry Products Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Always had good luck with Doug & Melissa products. This one was no exception, but I will point out that I was a little surprised and disappointed that the "boxed groceries" (cereal, sugar, crackers, etc.) were only labeled/printed on one side of the package with the back side being just solid-color paint. A big deal? Not at all, but then again these aren't exactly cheap-o toys either, so these are the kinds of details that get noticed.

Little Tikes Shopping Cart - Pink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Take my advice...just buy THIS cart if you are shopping for one. I was in the unique position where I had 3 different carts all in my kitchen at one time. You really need to "Feel" the carts first hand to understand. I initially bought the Step One Little Helpers shopping cart after reading all the good reviews. Bad choice. It constantly tips over, its bulky and is not user friendly to push. The only thing good about that one was there was no assembly...plus I only wasted $5 because I bought it on Craig's List. Then my sister in law bought me a American Plastic grocery cart and boy was that JUNK. I couldn't even believe they would make such flimsy toys! It was so thin and cheaply made. The cart simply tipped if any weight was put on it. I just threw it way (the handle kept popping off, also) Then I found THIS shopping cart. Oh wow, there is no comparison over the other 2. This pushes so nice and takes up less space. The fact that it doesn't tip over may have a lot to do with the wide base of support and how it is evenly distributed. I had to assemble it but it was sooooo worth the time and money. I know I went through a lot of time and money getting the "perfect" shopping cart but I would do it all over just to make sure I get one that will last years and years. My 14 month old can actually push it and has never tipped it yet. Totally recommend!

Step2 Little Helper's Grocery Cart Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you are looking to buy your child a solid and sturdy cart that will hold up to any rough play, multiple children, can be used indoors and out and will last for years, then look no further. As any Step2 product we have used, this is very well made and would be a breeze to clean if it ever gets dirty. It also comes fully assembled :)
The way the basket part of this is, makes it work very well for both a cart and a baby buggy, They can lay their baby down with a blanket and even some baby supplies and off they go(it also has the front seat for a doll to sit). I also like that this basket doesn't have any holes so they can put anything at all in this and not have to get annoyed that it falls out. Also this has a place under the basket that you can put stuff just like a real cart(if I were a kid I would be really excited about that feature...heck, I am an adult and I think it's a neat feature)
This easily rolls on carpet and bare floors and will smoothly go over rugs or just about anything really. I agree with another poster who said they wouldn't recommend this as a learning type of walker, only stable walkers should use this but I think that is true with any kid shopping cart although I have read reviews from several people who said the Little Tykes was more stable for learning to walk(I would still get a toy meant for a learning walker such as Vtech Sit-to-Stand Learning Walker rather than get a shopping cart meant for ages 2 and up.
We bought this for our friends daughter on her 2nd Birthday, it was a huge hit for her daughter and my 2 year old girls. She also received a cheap/flimsy cart that came with food(Circo brand)...don't buy one of those just because it comes with the food. Spending more $$ one this nice sturdy one is WELL worth it! If you have twins or more, I would recommend buying 1 for each kid so they can 'shop' together.
**If you don't want to buy all the fake food, save some money and use items from your kitchen. All 3 girls kept ripping open fake boxes looking for food and getting annoyed they were all empty, lol. I think little boxes of raisins, boxes of animal crackers and items from your kitchen would work just fine and they can actually eat some of their groceries : )
If you have any questions let me know and I will try to help you out.
