Target gets rid of its kid-sized shopping carts after backlash from some parents.

Target rolled out the carts last year in a handful of stores but many shoppers were irritated.

Children had a field day with the mini-carts ramming them into the ankles of adults, and dumping merchandise into them.

One blogger even called the kiddie carts, a "vehicle of mass destruction".

After the backlash, Target removed the cart saying it was because of customer complaints.
