Walmart Stores Add Specialized Caroline’s Carts for Inclusive Shopping

Caroline’s Carts are designed for caregivers supporting a wide array of people, including those with disabilities, children, seniors, and people with limited mobility or injuries.

Walmart has introduced Caroline’s Carts into all of its stores in Arizona, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, New Mexico, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. The specially designed carts help caregivers of children and adults with disabilities navigate its stores more easily. The retailer’s multimillion-dollar investment is part of a larger commitment to champion inclusivity and accessibility in its stores.

Caroline’s Carts are designed for caregivers supporting a wide array of people, including those with disabilities, children, seniors, and people with limited mobility or injuries. The seat has a capacity to hold 35-250 pounds. Walmart plans to equip all Supercenters with two Caroline’s Carts and all Neighborhood Markets with at least one, totaling about 8,000 carts nationwide. Distribution is ongoing, with all stores scheduled to be equipped with the carts by early 2025.
