Even though I only had 2 little at the same time, I had more trips than one where the baby was surrounded (and mostly covered) with groceries in her infant seat. I hated grocery stores that had goofy front seat carts that the infant seat didn't fit/snap into. It took up the whole back of the stupid cart...much more convenient in the front and the 2 year old standing in the back :) <br /><br />I wish I had more advice for ya, but even shopping with 11, 9, 6, and 3 isn't easy. It's like they all want to swim in a sea around you and take up a whole isle....not fun when the store is busy. Why are they allergic to walking in a row behind me....like ducklings? Ahhhhhhh, the joys of motherhood :)Nicole ~ "I'm staying home with my mom!"https://www.blogger.com/profile/02299756917560292900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890824323776001019.post-7157018642077429732012-02-07T15:56:48.113-08:002012-02-07T15:56:48.113-08:00My hubby is gracious enough to put the kids to bed...My hubby is gracious enough to put the kids to bed every Saturday night while I go out grocery shopping. However, occasionally there are necessary errands, appointments, or his work schedule changes. When I have taken the kids to the grocery store, I follow your strategies almost exactly! :D My reasoning for going alone is also because I go to two different stores to get our GF foods and to get the rest where we have an employee discount. The kids loose interest in shopping by the second store so they don't behave as well!Sharihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523963661848837661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-890824323776001019.post-56805245777305735572012-02-06T10:47:19.750-08:002012-02-06T10:47:19.750-08:00In answer to your final question....wait till they...In answer to your final question....wait till they grow up! Sorry, I know that's not much help! I only had two and at one point Marty boycotted ever taking them out in public again!

Your posting puts a smile on my face!
...Jessica,<br /><br />Your posting puts a smile on my face! <br /><br />I remember when my oldest was 5, second oldest was 4 1/2, third oldest was 15 months old and the fourth was newborn. Shopping trips exhausted me. <br /><br />My 15 month old could climb in or out of anything. I made a 5 point harness to hold her in the shopping cart because the belts that they are equipped with did nothing but slow her down for a half a second! <br /><br />I would turn to place items on the conveyor belt and she would literally be standing when I turned around! Of course the baby would be in a carrier on my chest which helped but it felt insane. <br /><br />The harness saved my sanity...I should've sold them to other frazzled moms! LOL<br /><br />You have some very helpful tips here!Poppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17565510749804897792noreply@blogger.com
