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 :)

Bought this as a Hanukkah gift for my 3 yr old granddaughter. It was her favorite gift. She even liked it more than the pink ride-on, remote control car she got. She puts her doll in the front and pushes it all over the house, filling it with whatever she can grab. Reasonably easy to put together. Little Tikes is good quality.

This shopping cart is so sturdy! The plastic is thick, connections are strong, and it's easy to push. My 1 yo daughter loves it, and she'll be able to use it for years as she grows. I love the bright colors, definitely would recommend!

somewhat difficult to screw together by hand, would recommend a drill to make it quicker. overall it’s very sturdy! my two year old sat in it without it tipping. lightweight for kids, and cute colors!

I love it! It’s sturdy so new walkers won’t tip it over. My granddaughter loves to push it all over my house. She loves to put toys in the cart too. It’s a good height. It’s tall enough so it’s not tippy and she will be able to use it for years as she grows.

What child doesn’t like to push the shopping cart? This is the perfect size for ages 1-5. It’s an all around fun toy. I think it was worth the price and didn’t last for many of years with the durability it has

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.
