Little Tikes Shopping Cart - Pink, 12.50 x 16.50 x 23.00 Inches

We purchased this for our kids (ages 2 and 5) for Christmas, and it is a very nice little shopping cart. Sturdy, attractive (for a plastic shopping cart), and does what it's supposed to do. But, the elf in our family (me) did not do a careful assembly job on Christmas eve and we had the problem of the purple wheel covers falling off pretty much as soon as the kids starting pushing it around the house.The thing is, when I opened the package to assemble, the wheel covers were already placed over the white wheel hubs. I assumed this was how they were supposed to be attached to the cart axle, and just slapped it all together that way. But, after repeatedly trying to shove the covers back each time they fell off, I realized that the white plastic wheel hub should have been flipped around before attaching to the axle. This way, the purple wheel cover fits very securely and you should have no trouble.Unfortunately, if you first assemble it incorrectly, it's a pain to fix. Here's how to do it, if you don't want to do a tape/glue type of repair. Gently pry off one of the small endcaps (piece H in my directions) that hold the wheels onto the metal cross bar. It is easier if you first take off the pink plastic cover. I used a flathead screwdriver, working my way around and around the metal ring part of the endcap. After it was removed, the inside tabs were flared and kind of loose on the metal pole, so I gently hammered the three little tabs flat again. You only need to completely remove the endcap from one side, but you may need to pry the other side a bit closer to end of the metal rod to get the wheels to spin, since the wheel thickness is a bit larger when you have them assembled correctly. Disassemble, put the wheels together properly, and put it back together. Now you should be in good shape!Sorry if my instructions don't make sense to some readers, especially those that don't have the product (yet). But hopefully this helps some struggling buyers out there. Do yourself a favor and assemble correctly the first time :)

One year old just walking and loves it. Likes to put toys inside. Great cart to teach little to use it for "clean up" time.

My 18 month old received this for Christmas and still plays with it 6 months later. She loves it and it is well made, so should last her and her younger brother for years to come. The basket is a good size and she loves to pile her stuffed animals in it. It is the perfect size for her now that she is nearly 2, she is on the small side and it was a little big at first, but she was still able to maneuver it. It was relatively simple to put together, especially compared to some of the other Christmas toys! I love that it comes in pink, as she is the only girl. Little tikes is our go to brand for kids toys because they are always made well and made to last. This is larger than the other shopping carts we looked at and will last her for several years without her being too big. We love it!

After years of owning childcare centers, I highly recommend purchasing little tyke products as they have lasted for years!

The shopping cart seems very durable so far! My one year old and four year old are having a blast pushing the shopping cart around the house. My one year old has figured out how to turn the shopping cart on its side and climb up on top of it. The only thing that was not up to my expectations was the "little pink piece" that holds the axle together on each side of a pair of wheels. They are made of metal and plastic. While hammering the metal axle into one of the pieces, the axel went in a bit crooked and there was no way to fix the plastic to make the axle stay in correctly. However, there was one extra "little pink piece" and an extra screw. According to list of included supplies, both pieces were extra and not listed. So I'm not sure if we got lucky or if they go ahead and throw in an extra just incase. We are happy with our shopping cart!

This little thing is pretty easy to put together. Assembly took about 10-15 minutes with the kids "helping". The actual basket part where you would put the food is pretty small to medium, I would say. I do like that the bottom is solid so nothing falls through. The seat for a stuffed animal or baby doll is tiny, though. My daughter can fit her infant doll but the seat is so shallow that her 18" doll won't sit upright (and it's the kind where the eyes close when she is laid down so she look like she's always asleep in the cart haha). One word of caution with this cart, though, is that I might not use it for a really young child. It rolls really well. It could be too fast for a small child who isn't walking well. Also, my daughter (5 years old) was pushing a blanket into the cart part and it tipped over. She's agile enough that she caught herself before she hit the floor, but a younger child might have fallen down. Kids fall down sometimes and that's part of life, but just thought I would mention that. I can't attest to the quality in the long term since we just recently put it together, but it seems pretty sturdy. The base is a thick plastic that doesn't seem like it will bend easily. Overall, I'm very pleased with this cart.

Bought for 18 month old grand-daughter and she loves it.

Arrived quickly! Bigger and sturdier than I anticipated, which is great. My daughter loves it :)

Very sturdy, really nice looking. Granddaughter loves it!!! Fits all her groceries and a few stuffed friends.

awesome so hard to find was great finding it on here for a decent price

Fast shipping. Easy to assemble. Parfait

Great little shopping cart! 13 month old loves it but I feel it would be better for older toddlers as she can’t reach the bottom to take things out and when she pushes from the front it tips over on her. It’s fine when she pushes using the handle. Would also be easier to steer if front wheels turned.
