From Shopping to Kid-Care: Multi-Functional Shopping Carts Gain Popularity, Becoming a "Versatile Helper" for Families
2025,10,11
Previously, when I went grocery shopping with my kid, I had to push a stroller and carry a shopping basket at the same time. Now, one multi-functional shopping cart takes care of everything," Ms. Li, a local resident, remarked after trying out the new-type shopping cart at Sam's Club recently. Nowadays, multi-functional supermarket Shopping Carts that combine shopping, kid-care and other functions are quietly gaining popularity, becoming a "new favorite" for many families. A reporter visited multiple supermarkets and found that the new multi-functional shopping carts have clever designs. These carts are made of high-density polyethylene, which is lightweight yet can bear a load of up to 160 kilograms. There is a dedicated tray on the side of the cart basket for placing shopping baskets, and some models are even equipped with USB charging ports and LED lights. What is more popular among parents is their child-friendly design: they have built-in seats with safety belts, paired with silent universal wheels and braking devices, which not only ensure the child's safety but also make it easy to push.
On social media platforms, the popularity of topics related to "supermarket shopping cart kid-care guides" is on the rise. Some parents share that they use the storage compartments of the shopping carts to place items such as diapers and thermos flasks for warm water, and during breaks from shopping, their kids can rest on the seats. This solves the problem that traditional strollers are not convenient for storing items. Data shows that in the past six months, the search volume for multi-functional supermarket shopping carts on e-commerce platforms has increased by 230% year-on-year, with "kid-care available" and "large capacity" becoming core keywords.
However, safety hazards still need to be guarded against. There have been previous accidents where children fell due to aging buckles of shopping carts. Moreover, there is currently no unified production standard in China, and the warning labels on some products are unclear. Industry insiders suggest that parents should choose shopping carts with intact accessories, and supermarkets also need to strengthen regular maintenance and inspection.
From a single shopping tool to a "versatile helper" for families, the evolution of multi-functional shopping carts is redefining the consumer experience, and the improvement of safety standards will be the key to their continued popularity.
