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.

I have these bags, and yes you can have 2 bags in the shopping cart and the baby seat open. You can even have a child standing in the shopping cart with the bags there (tried and done, the kid doesn't have too much space, but it works).

I was just wondering if you ever compared them after this post? We are considering both vehicles too for our 2 children, one who is big for his age as well. We plan to try and see them at the store together (if possible) but I found your post and wondered what your result was? Thanks

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.

A lot of manufacturers are intentially making them not to fit in store carts. Doing so isn't safe. This seat is intended for car safety not shopping convenience.

I ordered an infant insert for my 2 month old. The seat seems to recline more than enough- and with the infant insert/positioner it is great! I do fasten the buckles- but the insert keeps him from flopping around. I also asked my pedi about the manufacturers caution for babies- she said as long as you don't do anything extreme where the baby would fall out(common sense for any stroller) - you are good to go! My son loves it and so does my 4 year old! This is a great buy. I agonized over this decision for a while. The construction is great, hand brake is awesome, everyone loves it!!

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.

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.

My toddler (almost 2) fits great. She loves how high she sits. My sis in law has the Bob. I feel the Bob is bigger and bulkier than the graco. The Bob in my opinion has a little more storage. The graco comes up pretty high. I'm 5'3 and it comes up to my chest. I also love the fact that the gracos back wheels click right off for smaller storage. Don't know if the Bob does that. I will say that the Bob has more room for your child. My sis puts her infant in the seat and her toddler who is 3 has enough room to sit on the little foot rest area.

Unfortunately, It doesn't fit as well as the smaller seats. It will sit on the seat but doesn't securely click in. I don't think it would fall out but I hold it as we go anyway! Some carts, I set it in sideways in the front seat. Others I put it right in the back of the cart, which isn't convenient for groceries or larger trips. This would NOT stop me from buying the exact seat again. I keep my babies in these seats for a full yr so the extra room is nice.

No problem at all. I was reluctant to buy this unit since it costs so much more than other ones on Amazon. This one is built really tough and I expect it to last awhile. Plus, our son can haul in all of the groceries at one time vs. making separate trips to the car. The bottom of it is is a rubbery non-skid surface so it doesn't slide around. Best of luck.

I have the push up as far as my model allows. My husband is 6'3" and while it does seem lower than the average stroller he hasn't had any trouble with it. The new models may have longer bars or extenders I haven't checked. We love this stroller though! The peanut bassinet was wonderful when our baby was tiny. We have 5 kids so this system is by far our favorite over the monster strollers we had previously. It maneuvers so nicely through amusement park crowds and stores. Your height may make you feel a bit like you are pushing a toy around at first but my husband definitely isn't stooped over or uncomfortable when pushing baby around. Best of luck!

When our daughter was tiny we used it in a high hair because the pillows kind of helped prop her up on there, but it was a snug a fit. It is not made or intended to do that. It is great for the shopping cart though, and we still use it at 11 months. It completely changed the way I was able to grocery shop.

Yes! I found no carts or highchairs that would not work with my buggybag! I would buy it again in a minute and recommend them to everyone I know having a baby. One of my favorite purchases and in my view far superior to all other cart covers I've seen.

I have this stroller and did use a graco carseat. It "sits" in there fine, we used the seat belt of the stroller and hooked it to where the seatbelt goes through the carseat. It did intrude on the other kids space, and it COULD fall out if hit very hard. It worked fine for us, though!

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

Did you ever get an answer to your question about being compatible with the Chicco infant seat? I was wondering the same thing. Thanks!
