Mini Shopping Carts – A Great Gift Idea for Children

Magnatiles and their off brand competitors rein king in our household for best return on investment but there are definitely a number of honorable mentions. One such toy [category] is the mini shopping cart.  We have several toy shopping carts within our house.

Kids love putting things into containers and moving them. Mini shopping carts are perfect for this. All three of our kids have loved their carts and they continue to get heavy use.

This Shop and Learn smart cart has a removable shelf, is stable, and goes with the larger RF id Little Tikes Shop ‘N Learn Smart Checkout.

In fact, as I write this the removable self is between my five-year-old and I full of writing utensils*. Pottery Barn also sells a mini card that even has a metal construction and looks like a real cart.  

The carts get used for the obvious food playtime but they get used for moving random things to holding extra Christmas tree bulbs so they don’t have to make as many trips to hang up bulbs. If you are looking for a gift for your child or as a gift. These are definitely well loved and used.
