5.0 out of 5 stars Leap Frog Makes Learning Fun!, November 13, 2002

I bought this for my three year old daughter because she saw the commercial.... I was skeptical about buying another talking toy. However, this shopping cart was a snap to put together and it is sturdy and durable. My daughter loves to play the games by selecting the requested colors/food products, and is so proud of herself when she gets them correct. She also enjoys dancing to the music that it makes when you push it along. I would recommend this toy for all preschoolers. It is very educational, yet so fun that the kids don't realize they are learning!

First the positive- this shopping cart is fun. The words are easy to hear and very clear. The message is positive when you do what you are told or when you are just scanning for fun- 'All Right'! It is not so loud that it is annoying. This toy is also great for encouraging counting and recognition of colors and food items.

Second the not so positive- This is not like a real grocery cart-there is not a place to put dolls and purses for pretend shopping. The cart is very small with very little place to put groceries. The thing goes through batteries like crazy. And finally, the little frog 'little leap' falls off of our cart and doesn't stay put in place.

I look for toys that are fun and easy to play with. I look for toys that are durable and will survive hard play of three or more kids (since that is what I have in my home). I want toys that will encourage exploration of the world and imagination. I look for toys that do more than talk or make noise at the push of a button.

This is a fun grocery cart. However, I would rather have had a plain grocery cart without the talking and games. I would rather have had a grocery cart that had a place to put a doll and that would hold more groceries. This is what my children wanted, but this is what they got for a gift. If you have children that are imaginative and you want a grocery cart for pretend play, this is most likely not the cart you want to buy.

I also find that this grocery cart does not live up to the Leap Frog name for quality and educational items.

Before you buy this cart, decide why you want a cart. If you want one for pretend play, look at a different cart. IF you want one that will help teach your child, I'd consider some of the other Leap Frog items like the Leap pad before buying this toy.

This review is from: LeapFrog: Pretend & Learn Shopping Cart (Toy)

We bought this toy for my son's 2nd Birthday and he loves it. It is very durable and with stands not only the "crash" test but also the "climb" test in our house! Our son has played with the cart regularly for 4 months and we have not yet had to replace the batteries. It has even been left in the "on" position for several days.
