Is it accessible? The basis for this discussion is the OP's claim that
it isn't. If he's wrong, then he's wrong.

I never insisted he was blind. In fact, I wrote to Relayer, "You don't
know what the OP's disability is. It may be that he's blind and the Toys
R Us website isn't hasn't been designed to function with a speech
reader. Or it may have features that only work by clicking on them with
a mouse, and the OP may have mobility impairments that restrict him to
functions available through keyboard use." In response to me, *Relayer*
wrote "If he can't see the screen ...", and I responded based on that
hypothesis.
