Both Sara and Loren have proven not like being confined to a pram or stroller!!! It makes shopping really hard and tiring.

I use distraction via food, toys, singing to them, talking. I make my trips short and sweet, and I usually time them around morning tea or lunch so that Loren eats in the trolly as we are moving. Where ever possible I leave both at home..That doesn't happen often.

To be honest I used to dread shopping with Sara at that age but instead of avoiding the whole process I used it as a learning opportunity. Instead of taking her less I used to take her to the shops at least once per week. Now at 3 years old she is excellent.
