Hi, I vaguely remember seeing kids size supermarket trolleys in a shop somewhere but cant remember which it was, does anyone know?
my little boy is now into pretend shopping and Id like to give it a go together with him pushing a little trolley...
thanks

    Asda used to have mini trolleys but don't know if they still do, I've not seen them for ages. My little boy used to love them.

    I guess they got removed because they were such an annoyance to other customers as they are not there anymore.

    Give him a basket to carry instead. He can still put things in it.

    Mothercare used to have them.
  • Do they still sell the little plastic yellow ones in toy shops? might be worth looking into that, you wouldnt be stuck to one specific shop then but take your own mini trolley to your usual shop.

    thanks all for your replies, yes I think I might just get a little plastic one to take with us, it could work for a small shop, then I can go to lidl with it ,etc..
  • most larger tesco stores have them in a car shape with the trolley bit on the top...

    ah. yes he wont get in those plastic cars..or he gets in then has a tantrum half way round the store as he wants to ditch it and run off - nightmare- :) but thanks, appreciate the suggestion. it just seems that pushing a trolley and loading with the contents of my cupboards seems to be the 'in' thing and I thought trying to get some shopping done with a content child would be good

    my daughter likes the big baskets which have the pull out handle and you pull it along.

    i remember the little trolleys when i was a little girl and safeways had just first opened on the isle of wight.but i also remember them getting stolen alot as you would see them all over the place ( before the time of when you had to put a £1 in a trolley to release it)
