This just happened to me recently. I was out shopping on a windy day. After unpacking my groceries the shopping cart took off across the parking lot. Thankfully my son was not in it! Here’s a handy little gadget for added protection against runaway carts.
Small enough to fit in your purse or diaper bag, the Cart-Stopper, $9.99, attaches to your shopping cart and then suctions to your car or another flat, clean surface. To some it may seem like the product of a paranoid parent, but the reality of a child in a runaway cart is scary enough to warrant a ten-dollar safety investment.
