Do you use your stroller in the grocery store/ target?

When my oldest 2 children were 2years old and younger, I always took the MBUD to Target. I hooked a basket onto those Stroller Swivelers and let it hang from them off the handle bar. I'd fill that and the underneath stroller basket and that was my shopping trip. Even with the Target basket hanging off the back it was very sturdy. Also, it forced me to limit my purchases .

I brought the MBUD for a couple of reasons. First, fewer germs for the boys to pick up (they weren't touching surfaces in the dirty cart). Second, I could keep them strapped in when they decided they wanted to climb out). Third, they were more comfortable in the stroller. They were a lot less wiggly in their stroller because they were used to sitting in it.

I used to get a lot of looks but I didn't care. Especially in the beginning, when DS2 was in a Snugride, I could have DS1 hop into one seat of the MBUD and then click the Snugride into the second seat and away we'd go. I LOVED that!

I have only gone to stores like Target or BRU with my boys - they are still in the double snap and go - I bought a large Mommy Hook (like a big carabiner clip) to hang stuff off of it. If I had to do a full grocery run (which I tend to do at night when I can go by myself), I'd sling one of my boys and put the other in the cart.
