There's only a few configurations that will work, and I'm pretty sure I have tried all of them. Sadly going shopping with 2 kids in tow is just never a good idea. But if its a must, pick one of the below configurations and just pray. Happy Shopping!
#1: Maximize the Shopping Cart
Configuration:
-Toddler strapped in the front of a shopping cart
-Baby in the car seat balanced between the sides of a shopping cart
Pro:
-Mobility is limited, so no one can disappear or choose to run away
-You'll be able to spend a little more time browsing the aisles since everyone is contained
Con:
-With the car seat taking up 75% of the shopping cart, your shopping list will be cut short. You'll only be able to buy the real essentials, like milk, eggs, cookies, and wine.
-Turning radius is limited for fear of car seat falling out
#2: Baby's Safety First
Configuration:
-Utilize car seat stroller
-Attempt to keep toddler near you by asking them to hold your hand (ha ha ha)
Pro:
-Baby cant fall out of the stroller
Con:
-You might lose your toddler somewhere between the cereal and dairy aisle
-You will only be able to purchase <10 items, and they must all fit in the bottom of your stroller. Looks like you will have to leave the wine at the store.
Configuration:
-Toddler strapped in the front of a shopping cart
-Wear baby on your body
Pro:
-Minimal chance of toddler escaping
-You can fill up your cart to its full capacity
Con:
-You cant buy anything that requires you to bend over, or else Baby's legs will be crushed
-Be prepared for strangers to stop and chat, slowing down your shopping trip
#4 Husband/Partner does the shopping
Configuration:
-Both kids in bed napping
-Mommy with her legs up watching Real Housewives of NY
Pro:
-Both toddler and baby are safe and sound
-Mommy is relaxed
-Everything on the shopping list can be purchased
Con:
-Nope, cant think of any, not a single one
Any other configurations I missed? I thought I've tried them all, but maybe not?
