Are all shopping carts created equal?

I want to go to Marshalls wth the baby. I'm going alone. I know at BRU, the infant car seats/carriers fit rigt on top of the shopping carts. Is this true for all shopping carts? I usually need a cart when I'm there, but I can't push Jake and the cart at the same time!

No they aren't, but you can totally finagle it so that it'll work.... Just play with it.

The shopping carts at Marshalls (at least the ones near me), are half the size of a typical cart, so I would just bring the stroller in and put your stuff in the basket on the bottom.

I used to wear ds and push the cart. I never felt safe putting him on the cart in the car seat. So I got a sling and a baby bjorn. It depended on the day to what I would use.

It's not safe having the carseat on the top of the cart, even the built-in ones. It makes the cart very top-heavy, and likely to tip over.

I agree, put the seat in main part of the cart. Much safer.

Me too, I never put DD in the top of the part, either in her stroller while I carried a basket for shopping items; or put her in the big part of the cart and put items around her or in the top part of the cart.
