OMG! I went grocery shopping with just me and DS

I feel like I need a drinkChat Icon But my iced coffee is going to have to do.

DH is big on me getting out alone with the baby b/c he works odd hours and he feels I need to be able to be self sufficient, so we tried grocery shopping. The good news is that he loves the car and he loves the rolling of the cart, but whenever I would stop, he would shriek!

And now the question, how do you shop with the infant seat? I felt too nervous perching it on the top part, so I put it in the main section, which made buying things difficult....

Thanks ladiesChat Icon

Congrats! Getting out will become easier. I was never able to figure out how to attach the infant seat to a cart. I always put him in the main section and did only light shopping.

I used to push the stroller in front of me and pull the grocery cart behind me.

I don't feel comfortable leaving the infant seat up on top either so I either put her in the cart and do a light shopping or bring DH with me - but he like food shopping too. And we usually bring the snap and go, and use the cart. Or one of us will stand with the cart if her seat is on top.

I only did light shopping ( unless with my DH) and put her in the main part of the cart. I never perched her on top of the shopping cart.

I cant figure out the carseat thing either, so I put her in the cart. There is no room to put things in the cart, but I guess that cuts down on my spending LOL.

I would use peapod in the beginning, or I would put her in the bjorn, so easy!

I always put the infant seat on top of the stroller. I just make sure it either clicks in or can’t rock back and forth, never had a problem at the grocery store, target, bj’s. It makes shopping very easy that way. I typically do the grocery shopping with DD.

Great you got out by yourself!! It gets easier.

I only did smaller trips with the babyin the car seat and used the snap n go stroller since it has the basket underneath. I used that as my shopping basket!
