Looking for advice on what is probably a really simple solution but I can’t think of it.

I have a 6 month old, but he is a big boy (24lb). When I used to go grocery shopping I would put him in the carrier and then push the trolley, kind of obvious. As he got a bit heavier I would put him in the carrier but kind of rest him on the handlebar(?) a bit so that I wasn’t taking his full weight as I pushed the troller around.

However, he is basically now at the point where I can’t carry him in the carrier. He isn’t quite at the point of being able to sit in the trolley as he isn’t quite sitting yet (he’s far more interested in standing, sitting is boring).

When we go out on walks we use the stroller, but I don’t think navigating the stroller and the trolley is a feasible solution without running someone / something over.

Any tips on how I can do the grocery shopping with him?

Today Delta have managed to outdo themselves.

I was unable to reserve seats because our flight was ticketed by Virgin, so we have been auto-assigned seats in Comfort. I bought a seat for my six month old so he can sit in his car seat on the plane.

In doing so, they have seated my six month old baby on his own, and they are unable to change it. So the advice of the customer service agent was to ‘ask fellow passengers nicely’ if they will move so I can sit with my baby.

Anyone else experienced anything like this? I feel bad asking fellow passengers to move if that’s the seat they’ve paid for but at the same time what am I supposed to do?
