When DH goes with me to the market we let Lo push a mini cart around. Haha he hates it because she'll grab whatever she wants and will throw it in her cart.
When it's just me and Lo I give her a piece of fruit and it keeps her preoccupied for most of the time I'm usually in and out in 15 mins.

I usually carried DD when I had to shop on my own. Now I try to go to the store while she's napping at home with DH (I honestly prefer to shop by myself anyways since it ends up being less expensive as DH often "adds" to the list).

I either carry her in the Ergo while at the grocery store or she has learned to sit in the cart. I usually try to give her a snack while we are shopping or she picks out a piece of fruit which is a treat.

DS always sits in the cart even at almost 4. I attempted to let him roam but he is a runner and gets into everything. It's just to much of a hassle. He went threw a phase where he hated the cart and would scream almost the entire time. Now we are in a good place and he is fine with it. Now my daycare girl (she is 2) is in the cart hating phase. Her Mom and I are both just making her sit in the cart even if she is screaming. I'm not ashamed to be "The Mom with the screaming kids" lol.

it's that age. When my eldest daughter was 1, I planned it so she'd nap in the stroller during the walk to the grocery store (my stroller was our cart). Online grocery shopping was a saving grace at that time too!

Now with a 4 yo and a 1 yo, it's even trickier. Sometimes I can go to the market during their stroller naptime (or at least when one is napping)... other times I just have to keep the little one entertained in the cart... Usually with snacks. One of the stores near us has a toy car that attaches to the front... My older LO loves it; my 1 yo has yet to sit still in it though... maybe when she is closer to 2.
