Best Toy Shopping Carts of 2025

"I bought this for my 1-year-old, and he absolutely loves it! It's helped him gain confidence while walking, and it's so easy to turn. We have fun playing chase around the house! The cart is very sturdy and well made, and it doesn't tip easily, yet it's light enough to take to the grocery store. It fits right in the shopping cart when he gets tired. I love how realistic it is for Montessori play, made from metal just like real grocery carts. Plus, it has a perfect little seat for his stuffed animals! Assembly was a breeze, and I just wish we had bought it sooner. Totally worth the money!"

"My daughter is 2, and she was pushing a plastic chair around pretending it was her shopping cart. I was determined to find her a real one, and when I finally came across this one, I was shocked by the original price but took the plunge when it went on sale. I have no regrets! It's sturdy, adorable, and will last a long time. I chose this over plastic alternatives because it's just like a real shopping cart, with rotating wheels and a functional seat. Assembly was a piece of cake! I wouldn't pay full price, but it's great quality for a kid's toy."

"My son absolutely loves this shopping cart! It was super easy to put together, and he enjoys wheeling it around the house, pretending to shop and grabbing items from the pantry. It's just like those kid's shopping trolleys in shopping centers, which makes it even more fun for him!"

"I bought this cart for my 3-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. She was thrilled to shop and stock her play kitchen with it. The cart is easy for her to push and seems well-made, coming with about 80 pretend grocery items."

"My 14-month-old grandson absolutely loves pushing this cart around. It’s a great price for everything included, especially with all the groceries that come with it."

"I got this for my youngest to practice walking, and I'm so obsessed with it! Assembly took less than 10 minutes, and the cart is just so fun! It has three height settings, making it perfect for both my youngest and oldest. I love the scanner with sound adjustment, and the wheels make a light clacking sound that's not annoying at all. It feels very sturdy too!"

"After going through countless reviews, I decided on this cart, and I'm so glad I did! It's incredibly durable; my babysitter's 18-month-old even climbed into the basket, and it handled beautifully. The adjustable feature is a huge plus. Plus, it fits perfectly under a real shopping cart when my kid gets tired. This purchase has definitely paid off in fun times!"

"We gifted this to our grandson for his first birthday, and he instantly loved pushing it around. While the front wheels don’t pivot for easy turning, the additional shape sorting and scanner functions keep him entertained. The adjustable height is great, ensuring he can use it for a long time. It's very sturdy and should last."

"I absolutely love Step2 toys! This one is a big winner for me, especially with its bright but neutral colors. It comfortably holds one doll, but I found that a 12-inch and 15-inch doll can fit if they face each other. The basket is spacious, and the rounded corners are a fantastic feature for little ones. Assembly was a breeze with tools I had at home. It's perfect for indoor and outdoor play, and I can't think of anything I'd change. Highly recommend!"

"My 3-year-old daughter loves taking her baby doll for walks with this very durable cart. She often uses it outside, and it rolls super easily. However, I found the basket a bit deep, which might be tough for younger kids to reach. Overall, it's a great toy!"

"I bought this for my daughter, and it reminded me of a shopping cart I had as a kid. Assembly was relatively easy, but I do wish there was a stopper in the front to prevent it from slipping down. I learned that the hard way when my 15-month-old daughter was using it for support, and it slipped, causing her to fall. Thankfully, she's fine, but I think I'll wait until she's a more stable walker to let her use it again."

"As a first-time grandmother, I wanted a shopping cart that would last and feel substantial, unlike the plastic ones. I was blown away by the heavy-duty quality of this cart. It even comes with tools for assembly, and everything is clearly marked. If I could give it 100 stars, I would!"

"This shopping cart was an instant favorite with my grandson. It's sturdy and larger than the plastic models, making it perfect for him to 'shop' in my pantry. I did have to use some stretchy tape on the clips, but that solved the problem!"

"I was thrilled when the company replaced the whole cart! So happy to have our favorite toy back in working condition! The customer service team was fantastic! However, the bottom shelf was always at an angle, and it eventually snapped off, leaving a giant hole in the basket."
