My daughter loves this - kids love to push things in general - but it is a little top heavy and Im not convinced it's the safest choice when it comes to a shopping cart.

This is great for imaginative play. What child hasn't been to the grocery store and sat in the carriage "shopping" and learning about food with a parent? The toy is easily assembled, following directions, and well-balanced so that it does not easily tip if pushed around corners, etc. Hours of fun loading, unloading, and pushing the cart which can hold a lot of blocks, stuffed animals, or play food! Use inside or outdoors and it holds up well.

I bought this product as a gift for my niece. First of all the cart in the picture and the cart you receive are different colors. The most important problem is the wheels dont stay on. Everytime she goes to push the cart the wheel covers keep comong off.

Both my three year old daughter and 15 month old son have now gone through a stage where they like to flip the shopping cart on its side and climb into the area between the cart and wheels, getting stuck. One of the times my son was stuck, the cart tipped over with him in it, hitting his head on the wall and we thought he had injured the leg that was stuck. My kids have so much fun pushing the cart around and pretending to shop... It's a shame we'll have to pack this one up for their safety.

Do they not assembly these at the factory and test the tolerances for themselves? I assembled per the instructions and when my two year old gave it a test drive, the blue wheel covers fell off. If the good folks at Little Tikes want to save a little money on manufacturing and not create some sort of tab fasteners and use a friction fit instead, at least get the tolerances right. This was the one part that required just a little engineering and they just blew it. I can't tell you how disappointed the wife and I are at the low quality from such an established brand.
