Any reason why you don't babywear anymore? That's the only way I do it.

When we go grocery shopping, I stick one in the cart seat and one in the cart itself. Then I hand them groceries to keep them busy!

Other times, I just keep them both in the double stroller whenever possible!

one in the seat of the cart and one in the cart or she walks.

My 4 year old still likes to ride in the cart so they both ride and I talk and hand them stuff to entertain them. Truthfully I try to run most of my errands when my older one is at school or on the weekends or night time but occasionally we need something during the week so we all go. Its a pain and it takes me 10 minutes to load and unload but what can you do

If you have an Aldi around, their carts have seats for 2, as do Costco and Target...the Target one is suuuuper hard to push, though.

I try to stick to places with carts for two kids if I'm by myself, so target & Costco usually... I always get DS out of the car first and he has to stand by DD's car door right by me while I get her out. Whenever I load back up I leave the kids in the cart while I load the car and then put DS in the car for him to climb in his seat and then put DD in the car seat and come back to buckle DS. I always try to park next to a cart return space so I can just push the cart into the return right by my car.

It's painful for us right now. My 3 year old isn't a problem but my 15 month old just doesn't want to sit and she's a bit of a tornado. So I try to put something in her hands to keep her occupied. Sometimes I give her little tasks. But neither one likes being in a cart for very long so it's like herding distracted bunnies with each one wanting to show me what they see. It's not super fun right now but we keep doing it.

Since I live in a walking area, I see people doing this all the time in their double strollers, and they just load up the groceries in the stroller basket and in bags hooked to the mommy hook--and both kids are sitting in the double stroller.

I can fit about 8 bags of groceries on my stroller now (I have two hooks and a huge basket), so I guess I'll do the same.

I shop a lot more often than 2x a month though. If it's only twice a month, maybe you or your hubby can stay home with the kids while the other goes shopping, or you can both go and get 2 separate carts and put a kid in each cart and split the list. Then if you just need 1-2 items between the big shops, you can take both kids and put one in the big basket.
