Using this shopping cart is a breeze. First, as an adult, you'll need to assemble it. Once it's ready, your child can use it for pretend grocery shopping. The pivoting front wheels make it easy to push around the play area. You can place your child's favorite stuffed animal on the folding seat to be their shopping companion. Fill the cart with Melissa & Doug play food sets or other food play accessories (sold separately) for a more realistic experience. Remember, there are small parts, so keep it away from children under 3 years old to avoid choking hazards. To maintain it, just wipe it down with a dry cloth every now and then to keep it looking new.
