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.

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.

Caroline Carts In North Dakota

According to the source, the Walmart Corporation only plans to test these carts in 11 states: Arkansas, Texas, Kentucky, Colorado, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Tennessee. As you can see, North Dakota isn't on the list, but we may see these pop up in the future.

In fact, the source says Walmart committed to getting these carts in all stores across the country by early 2025.

How nice would it be to walk into a North Dakota store and see a row of these carts ready to go, helping families shop with less stress? What a great accessibility feature!

Nationwide, there will be 8,000 carts distributed to the stores.

Keep your eyes open for these carts and hit us up in the app; let us know if you think it would be helpful to have these in North Dakota stores.
