Cart-Stopper *giveaway*

When I only had one child going shopping was no big deal. But since having my second going shopping is a nightmare for so many reasons. One of those reasons being handling the parking lot. Which child do you strap into the car first? Seems like a harmless problem until you realize the other one is still in the cart that could run away into the line of traffic. Do you juggling strapping in one child while awkwardly holding the cart in place with your foot? Do you let the cart hit your vehicle to stop it from rolling into traffic?

No need to worry about that anymore thanks to the Cart-Stopper. The Cart-Stopper is a simple, affordable ($9.99), little device that suctions onto your vehicle on one end and attaches to the cart on the other end. It's so simple to use! Your cart and your child stay in place while you strap in your other child. No more runaway carts and dangerous situations. And no more worrying about your cart running into and damaging another vehicle. I liked it's small size and it's ease of use. Great product!

That sounds like a handy little product, I remember days of trying to hold on to the cart while strapping another child in, it sucked.

Believe me. I know the hassles of trying to strap my kids in the car and fight with the cart! I have 3 kids 2 and under! This seems like such a handy device!!

It looks like something very handy, Not only for when kids are in the carts, but also to prevent the cart to bang into the cars and make a dent!!!
But I always hold on to the cart when Samuel is in it while loading the car with groceries!!!!

Awesome idea! Too late for my car (dinged up quite a bit from trying to manage kids and carts!) but not just in time for my husband's work vehicle!
Thanks!

I think it's a very interesting idea, but I'm also interested to see how difficult and/or time consuming it is to put in place? Would I even use it?

Now this sounds like a very useful device all mothers of young children could use one.

I think it's a great idea. I hate when my cart slams against the side of my car.
