Target got rid of kid-sized shopping carts after a backlash from shoppers who ridiculed them as irritating and even demonic.
Target introduced the kiddie carts in a handful of stores last year and expanded the test in New York and Minnesota last month. But they didn’t last long. In fact, they’re already gone.
The backlash gained steam when Laura Rinas, a Minneapolis mother who writes the blog Laughing Without Limits, wrote that the newly introduced “vehicle of mass destruction” ruined her otherwise “magical” shopping experience at Target.
Last week she started a movement called Moms Against Stupid Tiny Carts. Other shoppers quickly joined in. The anger seemed to stem from the recklessness of the carts’ diminutive drivers.
“I share this mom’s struggle!” Kara Stemig wrote. “BAN ALL KID CARTS!”
Not everyone was happy to see them go. Other parents tweeted photos of their toddlers happily steering and loading up their little carts.
Target removed the carts because of repeated complaints and is trying to figure out what to do with them, spokeswoman Molly Snyder said. Target will still offer carts for children with special needs, which it introduced last year.
