Thank you so much for that advice. I never thought to ask for help from the store. I will try that the next time I go!

: I want to know what people/moms do
: with their special needs children
: when they go grocery shopping. My
: son can't sit up on his own, so he
: can't sit in the shopping cart, but
: he's getting too big for his
: carrying car seat. I really don't
: want to push a stroller and pull a
: shopping cart at the same time. But
: I also don't want to take him away
: from the outside world. So what do
: you do?
:
: I did not have this struggle with my
: child who has 22q, but I did have
: twins. I found that most stores are
: willing to go out of their way to
: accomadate their regular shoppers.
: I would try to make arrangments with
: the store before you get there.
: There is usually a courtesy clerk
: that could be available to help
: (Even Wal-mart has these). If it
: were me, I would contact your
: favorite store ahead of time.
: Explain that you have been shopping
: there for x number of years and that
: you would like to continue shopping
: there, but you are needing to
: accomadate your child with
: disabilities. You might ask if a
: clerk could push your shopping cart
: while you push the stroller or ask
: if they have any suggestions. Most
: stores are willing to accomadate
: people with disabilities. They may
: even have a better idea! Good luck.
