Let’s talk shopping carts, specifically those fun ones that look like little cars. While the racing stripes and steering wheels might make them seem like a joyride, their real purpose is to serve families with more than one child. Typically, you’ll find only a handful of these carts at your local grocery store. If you’ve been blissfully placing your single child in one of them, it might be time to ask yourself, “Why do these carts have two seats?” The answer is simple: they’re designed for two kids. So, please consider using a standard cart for your one child.
As a parent of multiple kids, you quickly learn to navigate the challenges of managing heavy, unwieldy items. Trust me, those multi-kid “car” shopping carts can be just as cumbersome as trying to juggle a tired toddler while pushing a cart with another child inside. It’s a lot to handle!
Now, don’t get me wrong. If you find yourself in a store with an abundance of those carts, go ahead and let your single child enjoy the ride. It doesn’t make you a bad parent; it’s just a moment of joy for them. However, if your grocery store only has a couple of these carts, I kindly remind you that you might be complicating another family’s shopping experience by taking one.
Many stores don’t carry multi-child carts, which means families are often left to manage with only one seat available. If you’re shopping with just one child, it might be best to steer clear of those carts altogether, even if they add a spark of excitement for your little one.
You might wonder about families with three or more small children. Honestly, I’m in awe of how they manage it all! Kudos to those brave souls.
