Yep, if your stroller has a car seat attachment,it’s the easiest way (or if you drive there – just carry the car seat and plop in in the store cart). OR, just go with your stroller, and use the cart area of the stroller for your stuff if it’s not that much.

Nearly all baby stroller brands have no official expiration date according to their manufacturers. Unlike car seats, as long as the stroller is in good repair and is new enough to include the latest safety features and other amenities it can be used regardless of age.

Shopping Cart Safety

1. DO use safety straps.
2. DON’T ever leave your child unattended.
3. DON’T let your child ride in the basket.
4. DO keep your child seated.
5. DO consider wearing your baby in a carrier or sling.
6. DON’T let toddlers or preschoolers ride on the side or push the cart by themselves.

First, you can put your baby into a sling and get a shopping cart – this will free both of your hands. Second, you can switch the car seat into a stroller and take a shopping basket. Finally, if you are just running in to get one item from the store, you can just carry your baby in his car seat.

As soon as your baby can sit up without support, which can be as early as 6 months, she can ride in the seat of a grocery cart. But wait until she can sit steadily on her own for the length of a shopping trip because babies aren’t well supported by the lap belts found on most shopping carts.

We recommend switching to the stroller seat in a reclined position once baby can support their head on their own, which is typically about three months old. Then, you can switch to fully upright in the stroller seat when baby can sit up on their own, typically between five and seven months.

Never put the car seat on a shopping cart, restaurant high chair, counter top, bed, sofa, table, bench, etc – as the car seat can fall from these raised surfaces. If you bring the car seat into the store, put the car seat IN the basket of the shopping cart… rather than on top of the shopping cart.
