Walmart Rolling Out New Carts – Never Before Seen In North Dakota
Walmart Inc. is working on adding something new to several of its stores. New, inclusive carts are said to be coming to 11 states across the country.
The Cart Design
According to KXAN, Walmart will be introducing "Caroline Carts" for people who may have family members or loved ones with disabilities, and or limited mobilities.
What Are "Caroline Carts"
Picture a normal shopping cart with a large, secure seat at the back that can support 35 to 250 pounds.
The source says the idea behind these carts is to allow caregivers to focus on shopping without the challenge of maneuvering a wheelchair or other equipment. This will be a game-changer for people who are supporting family members who may be recovering from injuries.
