Most new infant car seats do not attach to shopping carts anymore for safety reasons. It was found out that even with the cart attachments on the seat, it was unsafe for baby. (Also, some shorter parents can't see over the top!) So, no. The Graco SafeSeat does not attach to shopping carts.A great way to carry your baby around in the store is with a baby carrier or sling (like Baby Bjorn, Hotslings, Moby Slings, Evenflo Infant Carrier, etc.) It lets you use both hands and gives you plenty of room for groceries in the cart.Good Luck!

Well this is the way I look at it. I have big babies (over 9lbs at birth) and my first two grew out of there other infant seats at 3-4 months old. Still being too little to sit in the cart on there own but to big for the infant seat. So to me any negatives that there might be of this seat are far outweighed by the fact that I don't have to worry about my soon to be new baby outgrowing the seat so fast.

no, this seat does not fit in the child basket area of most shopping carts... theoretically, the smaller snugRide seats do HOWEVER, I would like to mention that many consider the practice of placing infant carriers on top of the cart unsafeit does fit IN most carts though (put foot end under child basket, and there will be room for groceries behind/under the head end as well as in the child basket... I found this to be the best arrangement for the maximum grocery capacity), or if running in for a few items just take it in your stroller (I LOVE the mosaic stroller)

My daughter was to long for her seat at four months and we had to get a convertible seat that stays in the car. at six months she still isn't sitting on her own so we just use the cart the have the built in babyseat and that works just fine.

Just wanted to help clarify conflicting answers. Britax b safe car seat does fit with this stroller frame and quite well, but it can be confusing. First, you have to remove the car seat adapters on the car seat. Imagine everyone who had trouble did this. But, then, if you just lay the car seat on the frame, it will rest lopsided and seem like it doesn't fit well or securely. You need to kind of pull one side of the stroller out a bit, and the car seat will snap into place very securely (I never used the straps). It scuffs the stroller up a bit where you kind of have to push the car seat in pretty hard, but it's really minor. Just wanted to help clarify conflicting answers.

How far are you going? :) If it's just down the aisle, you could be fine. Yes, it rolls, but it's not a totally smooth roll. Wheels have a bit of a wobble, so the whole cart moves a little as it goes. What's the surface you will be rolling this on? Hopefully smooth. (Keep an eye on the baby, so he/she does not crawl out.) If you go slow, you should be Ok.

I think it's the same thing just different way of saying it...???Just FYI I do not recommend the infant adapter. I bought a $10 snuzzler and my 9lb baby fits just fine while the back is fully reclined. He LOVES it! :) The adapter is bulky and you cannot close the stroller. I prefer not to have the baby in the car seat longer than necessary anyhow. This stroller is amazing and we get so many compliments on it! So happy I decided to pay a little more for something we'll use for the next 5+ years. Good luck!!

Yes. It is designed so that the hook that latches to the car seat base engages on the designated child seat area of a cart, and must be unlocked to remove it from the cart as you would the base. However, not all carts are made the same. It locks and won't come off without unlocking it, but doesn't sit level. This has more to do with cart design than the seat.No, if you want to attach it inside the main cart area. I have seen some parents with seats that will do this when they have an older child in the designated child seat, and I have yet to find a cart this seat will fasten into like that. Yes.

Because of the thick padding on the sides, it doesn't fit in restaurant high chairs. It's wonderful for shopping carts though. When we go to a restaurant I usually take 2 baby blankets and cover the high chair & that seems to give him plenty of padding.

I have the infant Graco click connect car seat, when we placed the car seat on the stroller, the car seat seemed very unstable, wobbly. We even confirmed that the car seat was compatible with the stroller.. I really love the stroller, just not a good fit for our Graco car seat.. Unfortunately, we are returning the stroller...

That is correct. By the way, since you will need to buy a potty seat, I bought and used the baby bjorn potty seat for the bathroom that my son used exclusively (with the potty stool). However, I have one made by Kohler in the guest bathroom that has a normal size seat and a baby seat (you just flip it up or down for the correct seat). It was easy to install and pretty inexpensive. Guests love it because it makes it very easy for the little ones to use the guest bathroom too. I would use that instead of a baby bjorn that you would have to take off and one if adults and the child are sharing a bathroom. That is correct.

like any toy and any child... it is important to keep an eye and monitor your kids at play. with that said, the shopping cart is sturdy for the intended use, that is of course kids playing with it by placing objects and dollies, etc into the cart and pushing it about! it will not hold a real kid, nor should it. so explain to your children how to properly play with the shopping cart. it is great for imaginative play, to push a special stuffed toy or doll around and great to mimic mommy or daddy as they go marketing! it is a super toy! enjoy.

No, and no. It's very heavy and is best kept in the vehicle at all times. Some people prefer to have an infant carrier seat that can be clipped into and out of a base that remains in the vehicle. This is not that. Others prefer to just take the infant out and either wear baby or put baby into a stroller. I bought this for my 2yo son once he outgrew his infant seat. It's an amazing seat. And if I had to do it over, I would probably still prefer to keep baby in the infant carrier seat, then transition into something larger. But like I said, different people prefer different things.

I was also thinking of doing the same. I will be a first time mom in July and the infant seat seems a bit of a waste of money and also a big carbon footprint considering all the safety advocates say not to use a used car seat. I was doing some research and a site called Consumer Search mentioned that Britax sells "...a foam positioning insert..." for smaller infants.

Nop I usually used the stroller with the car seat when I go shopping bcs if you put it on top of the shopping cart it might slide so becareful

Very easy to put on, it fits walmart carts perfect. Some carts are small, but it serves it's purpose regardless. It has elastic, so it fits around any cart, it's not a tight fit though, the picture shows a cart made for this cover or something..the insert is pretty handy if you have a wobbly baby, but I ended up not needing it. It folds in on itself to make a handy little pouch to carry/store etc. I like it, used it a ton, recommend it. Hope this helps.

Another review says it will break, I did not have this issue. I had a 30 pound child in the seat and dragged this item around for several days. I also loaded it with several baby bags a heavy computer bag, all of the car seat strapped to the cart. Could it break? Anything can, but this product has been on several trips now, taking serious abuse with no issues. We do not ever check it or leave it on seat during flight. Yes this will work, but as per my other answers and comments, the base of the car seat will not rest fully on the base of the cart. The cart base is not meant to be as large as the seat base. Strap it on securely and it should work just fine. Another review says it will break, I did not have this issue. I had a 30 pound child in the seat and dragged this item around for several days.

I had one of these when I was about 10 (12 years ago) and it really looks like nothing has changed. What happens is that you get a few packets of food powder with the doll. You mix them with water and feed them to her. The food then goes through a tube from her mouth to her bottom. It ends up in the diaper (assuming the diaper is on). So every time you use a food packet, you have to change the diaper. I guess you could use preemie diapers for the doll, but they're probably just as expensive as the diapers you'd buy for the doll at the toy store.

Hi! There is still room for a toddler or child when the infant seats are still in place. I had twin babies when my son was almost two. This was the only stroller I could find at the time (6 years ago), that would work for us. It is a dream to push when empty, but it is VERY hard to push and turn with babies on board. I quit using it when the babies were 12 months old. I hated this stroller, but didn't have much choice....

Yes, it does since I checked that out specifically in BuyBuyBaby as I want to buy this same carseat. However, since the Chicco Keyfit30 does not have the notches in the bottom to fit into a shopping cart, you need t use the safety strap to ensure it is securily attached to the stroller. The Chicco Keyfit30 does fit nice and snug into this frame.
