A Missouri mom is ending a two year battle with victory. Bonnie Lapee has been pushing for special shopping carts at two of her local grocery stores ā and now theyāve made the change. Kudos to them for hearing this mother out.
āIt was such a hassle to get him in and out or try to work with the cart they had that I literally stopped bringing him and just went when he was at school,ā Bonnie said. āHe requires extreme measures as far as supplementing his needs.ā
Bonnie discovered Carolineās Cart ā a cart designed by another mom who realized her daughter with special needs would outgrow the standard shopping cart.
āI felt horrible as mom that I couldnāt include my son in everyday activities, and I felt even worse for him,ā she said.
Both of the stores she petitioned now have at least one Carolineās Cart which come with safety belts, adjustable handle bars, and can support up to 250 pounds of weight.
Now, both stores have at least one of the special carts, which come equipped with safety belts, have adjustable handle bars and can hold up to 250 pounds.
āIt changed my sonās life,ā Bonnie said. āIt made our lives different because my son gets to be included again.ā
