Grocery cart seatbelts?

Hardly any of the seatbelts in grocery carts fit around DS's waist. He still really needs one -- otherwise he's twisting around to see people, to get stuff out of the cart, etc.

How do you handle this?

Re: Grocery cart seatbelts?

  • I use a shopping cart seat cover.

  • if it's broken or just won't adjust, i find another cart. if it's a place where i know they won't work, i bring a stroller when i go there. she's too much of a flight risk.

    you could always go the klassy way and diy it with a belt or something. lol

    this.

  • I just beat her into submission....lol

    I won't go to the store without DH anymore so this way when she has a melt down he can hold her so I can still do my shopping

  • I use her cart cover or the stroller.

    If those choices aren't available for some reason, I dont go shopping. lol Sorry, i'm no help. I'm too much of a germaphobe right now to put her in the cart alone.

  • On the topic of grocery carts, DD just reached thru the back of the seat and got her sweet pudgy arm stuck--it was awful. I was right there w/ her but thought she was reaching over the seat and didn't notice til she was screaming. I couldn't bend her arm right to squeeze it back through :( Just a note to be so careful!

    Thankfully a man ran over and pulled the bars apart enough to help her arm out. (She was fine, but shaken up... we both were!)

  • Do you give him stuff to play with while you shop?  DD is able to twist around in the cart but she doesn't try to very often.  I always let her play with items as we're shopping, or bring "special" toys for her.

  • I run into the same problem. If baby doll shops with me, DH usually comes too. It makes it easier. I'm also not a big fan of grocery carts because there was a recent outbreak of staph infection due to the use of shopping carts out here in Hawaii.
  • I also use the shopping cart cover!

  • DS is really good at twisting around in the cart and standing up - all in about 1 1/2 seconds. No matter how tight the belt is. If it's not going to be a quick shopping trip, I wear him on my back.
  • Hmm -- we use a grocery cart cover, but it doesn't have a seatbelt on it. :(

    Ditto. I was about the ask what the shopping cart cover has to the do with the seatbelts, not realizing that some come with them. That would be really helpful...wish I had one of those!
