I loved those carts, too… until the twins hit about 2.5. Then they start picking at each other and fighting… and you are back to square one. Enjoy them now!

For stores without twin carts, I highly recommend the soft booster seat (On-The-Go booster by The First Years… $20 at Target) and you can clip one into the back of a cart. The belts go nicely through the hole of the carts and clip them in safely. It also works nicely as intended – as a booster seat when you are on the go!

I remember being so happy when I could finally put the boys in a cart. I love the double carts at BJ’s and Costo. Publix has some with a car at the front of the cart too, I had to beg at the Publix near my home to get the carts in stock, but now shopping is so much more convenient. Prior to that I would wear them both, one on front and one on my back, each in a Beco carrier. Enjoy your visit with the family.

oh man! That cart made me want to go to Sam’s Club. I DREAD shopping. I usually do the sling-infant seat combo which sucks!

I’m terribly cruel and stuff both (very big) boys into one shopping cart. I sort of twist their tooshes out to a back corner, and overlap their legs.

Our Whole Foods also has double seater shopping carts. It’s 20/25 minutes away, so we don’t go that often, but it’s nice to use.
