Caroline's Carts Make Shopping Easier - ABC FOX MONTANA NEWS, WEATHER, SPORTS - KTMF/KWYB - 0 views

  • After years of problematic errand running, Banna found a solution online, called "Caroline's Cart," which has a large seat and moveable handlebars, created specifically for kids with disabilities."I actually called the person on the phone and the person who created these answered the phone, and I said, what would it take to bring these to my community," Banna said.Manufacturers told her chain stores, like Wal-Mart, are usually quick to purchase Caroline's carts, but Banna -- a Missoula native -- decided to ask two, locally-owned stores to purchase an $850 cart. Managers at Good Food Store and Roars each agreed to buy a cart this past spring. Emi Kodama, a manager at the Good Food Store said, "I think it's a type of cart that will probably become more common in stores and supermarkets, so I'm excited to be one of the first places to be able to offer one for our customers."

"The only difference really is that instead of knocking pins down, you roll the ball down the alley as close as you can to another ball to score points."
