We’ll also give you some product recommendations and alternatives to make shopping with your baby a breeze. To stock up on food without sacrificing safety, read on!
Things You Should Know
- Set the car seat in the main basket of the shopping cart. This is the only safe way to hold a car seat in a shopping cart.

- Or, secure your car seat in a Safe-Dock if your grocery store has them.
- Always stay nearby your shopping cart, and don’t leave little children unattended in the store.
