The first time I took Quinten out alone was after we went to his first dr. appointment and I stopped at a local thrift store to see if they had any infant long sleeve/long legged outfits (apparently we didn't have much of a need for those with Hunter, born in August, in Southern California:). I had fun browsing the store but was nervous at how un-secure Q's car seat sat in the basket of the shopping cart. I found myself navigating the store with one hand on Q's car seat and the other pushing the cart through the narrow isles.
Did you know that 21,600 is the annual average number of kids hurt in shopping cart accidents? 2 out of 3 accidents result from falls.- The National Safe Kids Campaign
It occurred to me that I had just recently seen something to help solve this problem on one of my favorite websites, Mom 4 Life;)!
My second outing was yesterday, to get groceries. This time I was prepared with my Strap To It Car Seat Safety Strap. It was quick and easy to put on and really secured Q's seat down well. No more worried mom, no more one hand on the car seat to make sure it doesn't fall off, perfect!
You can get the Strap To It Car Seat Safety Strap for 10% off on Mom 4 Life currently if you act fast.
Heather, I'm overjoyed for you and your beautiful new baby boy! I love reading your blog, and of course your website! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and your joy!

Hi Heather, I'm wondering if the "strap to it" works on all carriers? I have a Chicco Ketfit 22 and its doesn't have that back notch cut out on the bottom like most do so I'm not able to bring my sweet pea shopping with me, unless I put her in the big part of the shopping cart. If this invention would work on our carrier I will buy one right now :)
