Ride on buggy or buggy cart?

With my husbands health problems when we go to Walmart he uses those ride on buggys. There is absolutely no way he could walk around that store.
With my knee issues he always tells me to get one to use and I always told him, "huh uh, I'm not riding one of those things. How embarrassing"
But around 18 months ago i had a pinched nerve in my back, but I had to go to Walmart to get groceries. So, I grabbed one of those ride ons.
Let me tell you, it spoiled me! Now that my back is better I stil use them, mainly because of my knee, sort of because that store is so large that it is sort of hard for me to get around.

We have those in the malls for rent and guess who enjoys using them? The teenagers!

You might as well use them if you need them, that is what they are there for. My mother uses one, but of course she is very old, and her knees are in terrible shape.

Yes, older people really need them. And if there are only a few ride ons I just use a regular buggy.

Those certainly are a blessing when you can't walk through a whole store. I haven't ridden one yet but I'm tempted.

I had to use one of those electric wheel chairs on a store when I busted my ankle
It was great fun
I have never used one since
My wife said I was a danger to other store shoppers
