BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — New carts have been rolled out at Walmart locations across Missouri, Arkansas and other states with a focus on accessibility and inclusivity.
“Caroline’s Carts” are shopping carts specially designed with a large seat on the back to help caregivers of adults and children who have disabilities, limited mobility or injuries more easily make their way through the store.

“Helping our customers save money and live better is more than our mission – it’s our driving force,” Cedric Clark, executive vice president of store operations at Walmart, said in a news release.
The carts have a seat with a capacity to hold between 35 and 250 pounds. Each Walmart Supercenter is set to have two of these carts and Neighborhood Markets with one.
