BigJigs Shopping Trolley Review

Click

Recently we received a package which made me want to be a child again for the first time in ages.  Excitedly I began to unpack the contents of a Medium sized box with the help of Emily, and began to hope the contents were simple to put together as she is rather impatient as am I.

I was not disappointed, there were very clear instructions with all pieces very obvious where they were supposed to go and even the screws were very clearly separated and placed into separate marked bags.

Easy

The box contained a  BigJigs Shopping Trolley which I knew my 2 year old would love we as for her recent birthday brought her a cooker which she plays with all the time, role play is her all time favourite activity.  To assemble all that was needed was to attach the 2 Blue handles to the slot in the bottom, add the basket and then the handle to push the whole trolley along – NO screwdriver was needed either as an Allan-key is provided.  I managed to assemble this in under 5 minutes even with Emily's 'help'.

The Shopping Trolley retails at £48.95 which is really great value for money as it is extremely sturdy and will last for many years and unlike the cheaper plastic alternatives it is something we plan on keeping and passing down to siblings and at a much later date will still be in perfect condition for passing to cousins or future grandchildren.

Emily has properly test driven her new trolley, crashing it into doors, people and even a lamp-post on an outside visit to the shops. It has withstood the Emily test and shows no signs of wear and tear.  It is however bulky so I have avoided taking it to the supermarket with us despite the protests from Emily but we often take it to the shops behind our house and are always commented on how lovely it is and asked where we got it from.

The basket itself if very spacious, holding all of Emily's play food and much more.  The front wheels turn 360 degrees making it very easy for a toddler to manoeuvre without a problem, it is also extremely sturdy and has yet to be upturned even when being run with.  This would make an ideal walker for an unsteady child too as it will not topple over.

Vrooom!!

The neutral colours make this a great unisex toy which any girl or boy will love and cherish for many years and as well as being a shopping trolley also makes a great pram too – children's imaginations are endless and its great how the old fashioned toys help to stimulate their imaginations.

We give this a 4.5 out of 5.  I have recommended this to friends.
