The Issue

Working as an Autism Behavior Technician, I've witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by families when shopping without proper support for children with special needs. These children deserve safe, secure, and dignified seating options that not only protect them, but also provide comfort and stability during transportation.

That's why I am calling on Costco to add Caroline's Cart to their shopping cart lineup. Caroline's Cart is uniquely designed to accommodate children and adults with special needs who require seating support while shopping. This innovation ensures that families can shop comfortably, knowing that their loved ones are safe and secure.

The introduction of Caroline's Cart at Costco can make a huge difference to families in need. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1 in 36 children in the United States is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). There are countless other conditions and disabilities where enhanced mobility support is crucial. By offering Caroline's Carts, Costco can lead the way in inclusivity and accessibility for all families.

Caroline's Cart provides an effective solution, merging practicality with dignity. It's equipped with a comfortable seat and harness to ensure safety, as well as plenty of space for groceries. By making this option available, Costco would be demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity, showing that they value all their customers and are responsive to the needs of diverse communities.

Families should not have to choose between leaving their children at home or struggling to navigate stores without proper equipment. Instead, they should be empowered with solutions that allow the entire family to shop together comfortably and safely.

We urge Costco to take a proactive step in supporting children and adults with special needs by introducing Caroline's Cart. It’s a simple but impactful way to expand accessibility and improve the shopping experience for many families. By offering these carts, Costco can set an example for other retailers to follow, ultimately fostering a more inclusive society.

Your support is crucial. Let's come together to show Costco how much this change is necessary and valued by customers. Please, sign this petition to help turn this proposal into a reality, making Costco a leader in inclusive, family-friendly shopping experiences. Thank you for your support.
