She didn't do well being upright (chubby legs got caught) but did really well lying down in the top part. We put her blanket down and she relaxed there, happy as could be. She fed herself her bottle that way and got so much attention from people. I'm going to try it again at Costco today. Oh, and her daycare mama offered us a cart cover that she'll give us later this week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-825982 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 05:08:42 +0000 MrsF 825982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the padded shopping cart cover and would put my reusable grocery bags under the cover on either side of M to prop her up a little. Just for a few weeks until she was more sturdy on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-825955 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 01:39:58 +0000 lemondrop 825955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a padded shopping cart cover and would strap him in until he got tired and floppy, then I would lay him down lengthwise in the cart seat with a blanket under his head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824167 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 15:32:44 +0000 dagret 824167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear L- today at the store everyone went nuts over him. I guess it's not that common in our area to baby wear in public? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824140 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 15:01:50 +0000 Weagle 824140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always wore LO to the grocery store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824116 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 14:38:53 +0000 shopaholic 824116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also baby wear at the market. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824107 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 14:27:59 +0000 Smurfette 824107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What about a shopping cart cover and pillows to keep her propped up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824082 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 14:06:11 +0000 aprk 824082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some grocery stores have curbside pickup for a nominal fee </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824081 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 14:06:08 +0000 googly-eyes 824081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: I did that too!</p> <p>Or, the shopping cart cover + using the seatbelt. Even now I use it because lo will move around so much...she just gets really curious about everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824031 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 13:07:39 +0000 wheres_c 824031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: good luck. Our LOs are the same age and I have a padded insert and its still too early so I wear him... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824019 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:53:09 +0000 Andrea 824019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: ah, that could work! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824016 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:52:17 +0000 MaisyMay 824016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: lol. DH wouldn't go for the delivery thing. I'm thinking that I'll try wearing her, and if it doesn't fly, maybe I'll get one of those padded inserts that people put in carts. That with a blankie if needed, ought to work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824014 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:51:13 +0000 Andrea 824014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: or if you really need to bring her grocery shopping and she doesn't like the carrier, just keep on using the infant seat but only for grocery shopping? or ... get groceries delivered if that is available in your area. i keep meaning to do that. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824012 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:49:57 +0000 MaisyMay 824012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: She does the tripod thing well if propped, but isn't stable on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824011 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:49:22 +0000 MaisyMay 824011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: @Andrea: @MungBean: She's not normally a fan, but I tried on Thursday and didn't complain too much while we were at the farmer's market. I'll have to try it at the store. Thanks for the idea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824010 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:48:50 +0000 petunia354 824010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also wear her. It doesn't really seem like there is another option! I wouldn't feel comfortable trying to prop LO up in the front of the carriage if she isn't 100% stable yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-824007 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:46:00 +0000 pinkcupcake 824007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore her until she turned a year. Now I carry her bc she won't sit in a cart:T makes shopping very very difficult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-823999 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:41:59 +0000 Andrea 823999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have carrier? You can wear her? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-823998 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:41:32 +0000 runsyellowlites 823998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wore P until she could sit on her own. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-baby-at-grocery-store#post-823997 Sat, 01 Jun 2013 12:40:23 +0000 MaisyMay 823997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is about to be transitioned to her convertible car seats because of how heavy she is in the infant one. I already transitioned her at day care and her day care mama says LO loves it! She sits up higher and hasn't fussed at all whereas before she fussed when daycare mama put her in the car.</p> <p>LO can't hold herself up all the way yet, so what am I supposed to do when I take her to the store? She's only 5 months old. Where do I put her in the cart/how do I stabilize her? Currently she just chills in her car seat, but that won't be an option when she's in the convertible seats. </p>
