Shopping centers - sure.
Rec centers - depends on the event but could be over 50% carts
Squares - Over 50% carts around the square, lower percentage in parking lots but still a significant number
Carts are fun. While I am aware of the cars and trucks around me when I am on a street, I don't feel endangered at all.
I figure I save nearly $200 in fuel and $400 in insurance owning a second cart over owning and using a second car.
But hey, it's not for everyone. No heater and no A/C in the cart. Cart is noisier than the car. Can't carry as many people in the cart. Fewer people in the cart to annoy me. Easier to find a parking spot for the cart.
Renting before buying is a good idea. We essentially did that when we used the cart that was provided as part of the Lifestyle visit.
