Advantages: FUN,FUN,FUN

Disadvantages: top kept popping off.

My youngest son loves to play with push or pull along toys, and last Christmas I was trying to find extra gifts for him and discovered this in Argos on the 2 for £15 offer making it £7.50, it retails at £9.99 for the individual price which I think is very reasonable. When it arrived it came in a fairly large card board box which has a picture of the item emblazed on all sides (if my memory serves me right.) The item is made of bright coloured plastic, and is a simply click together design. There are the blue plastic wheel s and handle a red basket and a yellow frame which assembles very quickly and easily. The item also includes shopping item like grey plastic toy tins and cardboard boxes of pretend foods, which need assembly but this not at all difficult or time consuming. The trolley seemed fairly hardy and my little one loved it, but the top basket half kept popping off the wheels, which frequently upset my son, so we ended up super gluing it together.

The item is stated to be designed for three years and over but I purchased this for my son when he was 18 months old and all seemed fine from a safety aspect although I did hold back on giving him the shopping until he was a little older. He gained a lot of enjoyment from this item and still plays with it today. It is a wonderful toy to enhance imaginative play and creativity. Whenever we go shopping we now have to take this along and my little one enjoys selecting items from the shelves to put in his trolley. This is not good for children who are unsteady on their feet as it is very lightweight and therefore could cause them to fall. It isn't designed for anything heavy to be placed in it either for obvious safety reasons.
The dimensions are H50, W22, and D39.5cm and the product is made by Chad Valley which is a well-known name.

This is a lovely little toy with lots of potential, just one small flaw which I have been able to rectify myself with no hassle at all. This has not altered my overall opinion of the product as my son absolutely loves this and plays with it frequently and for long periods. This has definitely been one of my better buys for him as many toys are played with a few times then are left in the toy box unused.

Summary: A lovely little toy to encourarage and enhance imagination.
