BENTONVILLE, AR - A more accessible and inclusive shopping cart is being rolled out across 11 states in Walmart’s store footprint. Dubbed Caroline’s Carts, the innovation is designed with a large seat that caregivers can use to move adults and children who have disabilities, limited mobility, or injuries more easily throughout the store.

“Equipping our stores with Caroline’s Carts provides some relief to parents and caregivers who need this tool and know it’s available at their Walmart. Whether they’re caring for someone with a disability or a temporary injury, the carts support our customers when and how they need it every time they come through our doors,” said Cedric Clark, Executive Vice President of Store Operations.

According to KRQE News, the carts have a seat with a capacity to hold between 35 and 250 pounds. Walmart Supercenters will be equipped with two of these carts each. Neighborhood Markets, on the other hand, will have at least one of these carts on hand. In total, the initiative will roll out around 8,000 carts.

The Caroline’s Carts will be rolling out in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Texas.
