The Minneapolis-based chain announced the mini-carts, which were rolled out at 50 Minnesota stores and 22 New York stores just a few weeks ago, are being removed after the company received a flood of negative feedback from shoppers.

The reason:  Bruised ankles and major messes... and LOTS of them.

Many shoppers complained children would crash into adults, other carts and even store displays.

Parents also complained the carts invited children to load them up with unwanted items, and led to tantrums when the adults refused to buy the contents - which honestly, happens everywhere, but I digress.

According to this article from the Star Tribune, there was some positive feedback about the carts, but there were far more negative comments.  Plus, store employees also complained the carts took up too much space and cluttered the front of the stores.

So is this just a case of the "Fun Police" ruining it for everyone else, or was the kid-sized mini-carts a true #TargetFail?  Let us know in the comments below!
