Mom Invents New Shopping Cart To Help Special Needs Kids And Seniors
By Dreamer
Drew Ann Long is a mother of two children and every time she goes grocery shopping, she’s faced with a major challenge. You see, like most people who need to buy groceries for an entire family, Drew needs to use a shopping cart. Sounds simple enough, right? Now imagine trying to push around a shopping cart while also caring for a 2-year-old son, and a wheelchair-bound special needs daughter. Frankly, I have no idea how Drew managed to do this at all. Understandably frustrated by her situation, Drew set off to figure out a solution but there was nothing readily available. So she took matters into her own hands and invented “Caroline’s Cart.” Named after Drew’s daughter, Caroline’s Cart is changing the lives of people nationwide!
Drew invented “Caroline’s Cart” so that she could do her grocery shopping with her special needs daughter.
Caroline’s Cart was originally designed for children with special needs…
…but as it turns out, Caroline’s Cart also works extremely well for seniors who can no longer walk easily! A woman who visited her local Harris Teeter with her 91-year-old mother was pleasantly surprised when they offered her a Caroline’s Cart. This ingenius cart allowed them to bring her mother shopping with her instead of leaving her to wait in the car.
Caroline’s Cart can now be found at stores across the nation, including Walmart, Target, Kroger, Giant, and many more!
Watch the video below to learn more about this wonderful story. Way to go, Drew! Such a brilliant invention to help make this a more inclusive world. Let’s hope that more stores start using Caroline’s Cart!
