The Battlefords Co-op Marketplace grocery store introduced a new feature for parents of children with special needs. They have acquired a Caroline’s Cart, a shopping cart with a seat on the back where a child can be strapped in. The idea is to make it easier for parents to bring a special needs child to the shopping mall. 

The idea was suggested to the Co-op by the Campbell family, whose son Harrison suffers from a muscle disorder. He isn’t able to walk or sit up unassisted. The family did extensive research about a solution to their shopping needs and learned about Caroline’s Cart. They   brought the idea to the Co-op who soon obtained the cart.

Seen here with the cart is the Campbell family, Amelia, Dallas, Harrison, Jessica and Bridgitte.
