Customers are praising Aldi after small trolleys were spotted in Australian stores.
A photo posted to the Aldi Mums Facebook group shows the new trolleys in a bay and is believed to be the first of a nationwide rollout.
Shoppers complained online saying the large trolleys, which are 1.1m high, are ‘enormous’ and were unsuitable for pregnant women, new mums carrying babies and the elderly.
In June the supermarket confirmed to Daily Mail Australia the smaller trolleys will provide shoppers with ‘greater convenience’.

‘We recognise that customers are looking for greater convenience when they visit our stores, as it’s almost impossible not to pick up the excellent value products on offer,’ an Aldi spokesperson said.
‘That’s why we’re introducing smaller trolleys across all our locations, so our customers can more efficiently pick up products while doing smaller grocery shops.’
The image of the small trolleys received more than 2,400 ‘likes’ and shoppers seemed obsessed with the new offer.
‘Sooo much easier for when I’m wearing baby in the carrier!!!’ one mum wrote, another added: ‘Yes I just used one. I was surprised to see them. A great addition.’
‘Thank god, I’m sick of falling into the trolley trying to get my groceries out,’ a third joked.
A short woman said: ‘About time, for me 144cm of shortness them trolleys are soooooo big, almost climbing in every time. well done Aldi for the newer half cart smaller trolleys.’
It follows after Aldi shoppers were left pleasantly surprised by the retailer’s decision to rollout shopping baskets across all their Australian stores.

Aldi Australia have revealed plans to include shopping baskets – as standard – in every store
The German-owned retailer posted to Facebook in April to reveal the decision which many customers believe has been ‘a long time coming’.
‘Goodbye octopus arms,’ they wrote in the post.
‘We’re rolling out baskets across all our stores, to help you with your weekly shop and dash in top-ups.’
The baskets, which were first trialed in select stores in July, will be available nation-wide in 2022 – according to a spokesperson for the German-owned store.
Customers said the announcement was ‘about time’.
