I've gotten the OK to take my LO out. RSV season in my area ended on the 15th. Yay!!
SO, I'd like to take my LO out today to BRU & the grocery store, but how do I put the infant carrier in the shopping cart? Do I click it in the child seat part? Or, do I put the entire thing in the basket part? I'm pathetic googled this & everything that I found said to carry the infant b/c shopping carts are unsafe due to tipping.
Please help. I have a masters degree but can't figure this one out!! ha
Re: Pathetic FTM ? about Shopping Carts
I agree with everyone about the basket or carry. It's a bit more inconvenient if you have a lot to buy, but I read something that said even if they "click" on to the child seat part they aren't actually secure so it could tip very easily if someone runs into your cart.
I plan on breaking out my moby today and practice tying it so I can just start wearing her when we go out.

I don't have an outside baby yet, but this is what I would do. I would wear the baby instead of dealing with the car seat. This will also prevent strangers from touching the baby which really freaks me out.
Thanks Everyone!
Unless you go to Walmart. The klassy people there don't always get it. Trust me.

Wear the baby. Hands free and doesn't take up space in the cart.
I use one of these every day. https://www.amazon.com/Lite-on-Shoulder-Baby-Sling-Fern-Batik/dp/B000MOKPTK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1334845522&sr=8-1
I've only taken the carseat out of the car once.
If you have to use the carseat, put it in the cart. It is horribly unsafe to put them in the seat part.
I put the car seat in the basket of the cart and just stuff the food around her.
I also asked the same question right after I had my son, and I also have a masters degree - in physics!
I had no clue what to do! You are never alone!
