Grocery shopping

Is it easier to push a stroller and pull a cart or put a carrier in the cart and wear a baby?

Carrier in cart and wear 1 baby.  The cart gets really heavy to pull with one hand while having to push the stroller.

I used to shop like that but now that I have toddlers/preschoolers I push the stroller and pull the cart.  It is rather hard to do when the store is crowded.  Esp when people want to stop you and talke about how cute your babies are.

I found it easier to wear one baby and put a carrier in the cart.
Better yet, I usually grocery shopped when DH was home and could watch the boys so I could go on my own.

I find it easiest to go at night when all the kids are in bed sleeping!  The grocery store is also way less crowded that way.

I was going to say that I'm planning on going to the grocery store alone.

 

I have a 3 year old now, and let me tell you, it's much easier to go alone.  Plus you really aren't supposed to put the car seat on the top of the cart, you should put it in the basket.  It could fall off or tip the cart over.

At that point the cart is  pretty much useless because you can't fit much in the top part.
