Re: Going Shopping With Babies

What I do when I have Josh with me in the trolley is park close to the trolley return like your mentioned, and I wheel the empty trolley back to the return with Josh in the trolley seat. I then carry him back to the car with me. That way I have Josh with me, and he gets to go for an extra ride - lol

Great article and great tips
