Every Store Should Have These Cool Grocery Carts

It's easy to take for granted just how easy everyday activities are with able-bodied children. Sure, our kids may go all "stiff board" on us to get into a grocery cart — but at least they can do it. For Melody Leach, such activities are anything but routine, as her daughter, Beatrice, 2, has cerebral palsy. She can't walk yet, and she can't sit in a standard grocery cart.

"One of her hips has dislocated so she has a hard time sitting on that surface," Melody said. "She's outgrown her stroller at this point, so I put her in her wheelchair and I take her in the store, and I can grab a basket and try to push this with one hand as I carry the basket."

It's not exactly the easiest way to do your shopping — and something that the assistant manager at the King Soopers in Loveland, CO, took notice of. As a father himself, Mike Myers took notice of Melody's struggles and emailed some executives in the company to see what they could do. And boy did they come through.

When Melody arrived at the store one day this Fall, the store employees surprised her with a custom-made cart (just like the Caroline's Cart a Target store in Dardenne Prairie, MO, created earlier this year) that was specially outfitted with a seat Beatrice can sit it now — and in the future.

Watch the video to see just how much of a difference "Beatrice's Cart" made in their first grocery shopping trip. We can only imagine how this will help the Leaches — and other families — in the future!
