The cart does a decent job of holding a collection of smaller items (like matchbox cars) in the buckets along with some larger items (like Tonka trucks) in the main bin. My 2-year-old has a bit of trouble getting the buckets in and out without spilling them, but I'm sure he'll get better at it as he grows. I love that the main bin rolls out so that he can access the toys in the back of it on his own and can also take it to another spot in the room if desired. Note, this is definitely not the sturdiest piece of furniture. It wobbles a bit, and is not likely to last more than a few years with consistent kiddo use.
