Targetโs Toy Shopping Cart is one of those hot items youโd love to get your hands on, but itโs almost impossible to find. However, right now, the coveted kidsโ toy is in stock for store pickup in select local stores. As of September 2023, I saw that itโs available for store pickup, shipping, and delivery. This is so rare because itโs been in and out of stock for months!
These toy shopping carts look just like the real deal you find at Target, and parents are constantly trying to track them down since theyโre almost always sold out. If you use your Target RedCard, you can save an additional 5%.
Itโs rare to see the cart ever go in stock, you want to grab it while you can. In case you miss the restock, weโve included an alternative pink shopping cart that Target also sells for the same price below.

Shop the Target Toy Shopping Cart
Grab the red Target Toy shopping cart here, while you can. While it isnโt available for same-day delivery, you can likely find it at your local Target for store pickup or 3 โ 5-day shipping. Thirteen stores within 10 miles of where I live carry the cart now. You might have to ask a store employee to grab one for you from the back.
Note that you canโt get two toy shopping carts as these are limited to one per person (because theyโre so in demand)!

Whatโs included with the Target Toy Shopping Cart?
The cart is 18 inches tall โ the perfect size for little shoppers โ and has a seat that fits most standard-sized baby dolls. For the kids that want to be just like mom and dad, the buggy even has a cupholder that fits the setโs included toy coffee cup. You also get toy fruits and toy Target-brand food products. Overall, there are 12 pieces, counting the cart.

Why is the Target toy shopping cart so popular?
The toy cart has gone viral since the summer of 2021, with well over 11 million views on the tag #targetshoppingcart on TikTok. Itโs also trending on Instagram and YouTube with shopping hauls and ASMR videos with hundreds of thousands of views. Besides that, kids love replicating their Target-loving parents with pretend play, and parents just find the whole thing entertaining. Thatโs most likely why the cart was part of Targetโs top toys of 2022.

Where can I buy the Target toy shopping cart besides Target?
This product is, as the name suggests, a Target-exclusive item. To ensure youโre getting the most authentic toy, definitely buy directly from Target. However, if youโre determined to get your hands on a cart ASAP, a few resellers also carry the item.
We donโt really recommend you buy from resellers just because we know they tend to jack up prices (up to 150% in some cases). Plus, you donโt have the best chance of tracking your delivery with resellers. But if you desperately want to, make sure to read up on seller reviews before purchasing.
Amazon
Get the viral shopping cart ($18.88, Amazon) for triple the list price of the original. Currently, itโs on major sale for $19.99 โ but a third-party reseller sells it. Make sure to read up on reviews before making your purchase.
ย
eBay
Several eBay sellers are offering the cart, both new and used, for prices between $20 โ $100.
