Twin Carts?

Twin Carts?

How about we start a list of stores that have carts big enough for twins?

I only know of BJs and Costco.

And my King Kullen (LIndenhurst) has a cart with a plastic seat attachment for two older kids (toddler/preschooler).

Anyone find stores with double carts? I wish Target had them!

Any tricks for shopping with the twins from been-there/done-that moms?

That would be awesome! Granted now that we are a family of 5, I can do most of my shopping at BJs/Costco at some point, but not all the time!

Sort of off topic but having to do with shopping carts, did anyone ever put their twins' infant seats in shopping carts? When I was reading reviews of some car seats, I read complaints about not being able to fit some brands in a shopping cart but I thought I read you're not supposed to put car seats in shopping carts anyway.

I have to start finding out what stores by me have double shopping carts...I know I saw them at BJ's but I don't shop there a lot.

It is bad that it hadn't occurred to me that something like this would be a concern? Chat Icon

I saw your picture and that is what inspired my post!

You should see the scene I cause now with one bucket up top and one in the cart trying to jam food around them and keep track of my 4 year old DD!

Re: Twin Carts?

my twins are 9 months old and i do not take them shopping alone with me for this reason!
we finally went to costco the other day though and it was amazing bc of the cart!
i use the "car" shopping cart at stop & shop and king kullen with my 3 yo allllll the time...you think i would have noticed that it was a "double" right!! im gonna have to check it out ASAP!

The stop and shop by me doesn't have double carts. So annoying b/c I can never bring both boys with me unless I put them both in the basket part which I skeeve and there is no room.

Re: Twin Carts?

I have 2 King Kullens by me in Manorville/Eastport and neither has double carts. They do have the red car cart, but that doesn't usually work for us. I would love it if Target would get double carts. I'll write a letter. Babies R' Us too!
