I subscribe to this magazine. It usually has at some point a "it happened to my child" type story (short, just a paragraph or two) that warns parents about often overlooked dangers.
This month just happens to be the danger of putting infant carriers on shopping carts. Thankfully the child in the story wansn't seriously injured. It's good to know Parents is getting the word out about how dangerous this is.
The mother in the story even says she thought it was okay because of all the people she saw doing it. Honestly, I have done it in the past as well because I didn't know any better. But now that I've found this site, I'm all the wiser.
PS. I found a baby picture of me in a shopping cart (why my parents took a picture of this I will never know) and I wasn't in a carrier but my mom had laid a cushy blanket down, left the seat part up (to cover holes) and laid me in it lengh wise. :thumbsup: Funny thing is after reading about how not to put carriers on the buggies I wondered what to do apart from wearing the baby or pushing a stroller and cart. I guess I should have just asked Mom!! I thought it was a good idea anyway, for younger babies.
