This morning me and my toddler went clothes shopping and he ran away as soon as we got in the shop and found him pretty quickly under a clothes rail all good, carry on shopping until he ran away again I looked everywhere and couldn't find him got anyone involved to help me I was hysterical for a good five minutes, felt like more. before I found him under a round clothes rail smiling. Never again ,shopping alone until he is 18 then he can come , my anxiety can't take it.

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Why don’t you get home deliveries like everyone else? Or leading reins. If he does this he’s not ready for shopping and to be let out of the pushchair.

That's not anxiety, that's a genuinely unsafe situation where you've lost your child.
