Grocery shopping/ carseat question

Okay what am I doing wrong?

 

Normally I wear the baby in a carrier when grocery shopping,  but we were just doing a quick trip today so I left her in the carseat.  I know you're not supposed to put the carseat on top of the cart,  but it wouldn't fit IN the cart either.  It was just a regular sized HEB cart,  am I supposed to be grabbing a different one?  I managed to shove it in there diagonally so it was mostly in the cart but the bottom of the carseat wasn't touching the bottom of the cart.   

 

I have a Graco snug ride if that matters

Re: Grocery shopping/ carseat question

  • did you have the "purse" area opened?  I've found with the HEB carts (since they have the produce basket in the very front), you have to keep that area closest to you closed so that the car seat will fit in the basket.  and by "purse area", I mean the part where the older kids sit.

  • I always have to tilt it so Sparky is sitting almost straight vertical to get it to fit in the cart (Chicco KeyFit). Most of the time I have him in the carrier on the front of me, though, or I just carry him if I'm just running in for one thing.

  • I have a Chicco, I have to put it in the basket facing away from me.
  • Make sure you get the double seater carts they are wider :) you still won't get much in there, but I used to put a red basket under the cart to put stuff in :)
