How do I shop with a 17 month old?

[caradelvigna]

Haven't been to the supermarket since lockdown. Running low and want to do a big shop so I don't have to go back. Don't really want to put my son in the trolley seat for obvious reasons and can't navigate with a trolley and a pram at the same time. What's the best way for me to approach this?

@BringMeSunshineInMyLife my bad, I was thinking 17 weeks old, so in one if the seats that lay down and they would need strapping in. Sorry, sleep deprived today

@caradelvigna I don't mean to be harsh at all. I just think at some point the over-zealous hand-wringing must come to an end. You are a single parent which in itself is a struggle without a pandemic so frankly fuck whatever anyone else thinks. You do what works for you and the kid for now and if that means bringing bleach and cloths to wipe down a seat for him on the trolley then so be it. You both need to eat - if someone tuts at you both then smile in their direction. You and the little one have every right to be in that store!
