Buy a snack trap thing. Noah doesnt have a bar in his stroller, and although will sleep and be ok in it, when he gets cranky, I hand him the entire cup of snacks to work at.

I heard that the snacks fall all over the place - you don't find that?

Re: Jack HATES shopping - GASP - I know!
What about trying the metrolite - and leaving puffs on his tray or toys on his tray so that he can eat and play while you shop. That should keep him from being bored. Could he be hungry or tired?

Re: Jack HATES shopping - GASP - I know!
Ryan is the same exact way. He is fine while I am walking in the mall. As soon as we step into a store, he acts up. The only thing working these days is that I let him have the pacifier. Oh well.

he could be tired - but you would think he would nap in the stroller if he was?! 
he's def. not hungry when we go.
Metrolite it is! I'm bringing that baby back!!!

Re: Jack HATES shopping - GASP - I know!
My kids hate shopping too but I put a few snacks on their trays (and keep them coming) and it keeps them occupied. Cheerios, animal crackers, cheese, goldfish, they all work wonders for me.

Re: Jack HATES shopping - GASP - I know!
mine loves shopping, we can seriously be gone for hours without a peep...
the boy I watch, that's another story. I have to go to the food court and get him pizza crust to eat...that buys me 30 minutes.

Honestly no not necessarily - DD does nap frequently in her stroller but sometimes when we go to the mall she loves to look and grab at everything - occasionally she will fight her naps b.c everything else is more exciting - so maybe he is fighting being tired

Re: Jack HATES shopping - GASP - I know!
My DD hated sitting in the stoller to shop too. It was so bad that I couldn't even walk into a store without her screaming. I bought a new stroller that faces me instead of the facing out and it has been a godsend! She can look at me while we're walking around and I can feed her her snack if she wants me to. The stroller wasn't cheap but it was worth every penny now that I can get out of the house.

Re: Jack HATES shopping - GASP - I know!
I didn't read the whole post so I might be doubling what people are saying.
That cute little boy you know as my son would scream the minute I walk into the Gap at RF. He would start out low and by the time I got to the maternity section he would be screaming  . It never failed. He never like shopping and still doesn't but now I tell him we are buying a present and he gets excited.
My advice would be to switch to the metrolite and if he self-feeds give him his meal like that. Not sure if he eats pizza yet but if he does cut it up into let him go to town (not the whole slice at once). I also use to get their when I knew it was time for him to eat. So I use to go from the car to the food court get pizza and feed him whatever and then give him my pizza crust and that would give him busy the whole time I was their. I still do it now at 2 and I can get 2 hours sometimes.
good luck
