Wonderful news, Caroline's Cart is in several stores and growing in availability.

In this report and on the video you will meet Caroline and her mom who designed the cart.

The video shows quite a few examples of people of all ages with disabilities who are now able to go shopping along with their caretaker.

Video carried by Huffington Post here:

Well heck, that's great for any child!  Where was something like that when I had to fling my son in car seat into the front basket.....what a nightmare....getting the seat to fit .....This is so ergonomic...

What a cool idea!

( And what an adorable little girl too! )

Great idea!  Wish I'd thought of that

The problem, as we all know, is that caretakers have to shop but so many don't have someone else available to stay with the person who depends on them.

This cart allows many of those who are disabled to go along with their caretaker.

Plus, it allows the person being cared for more opportunities to get out into the world.  Everybody wins

Are there foot rests?

There is an extension in the front for a foot rest but I'm not seeing them out there for those who don't have longer legs.  I can see an area for the possibility for hooking on a foot rest, but I don't know if that's what it actually is.
