Dear Person who decided to attach the little cars or other ride on thing for you kids to the grocery shopping cart,
I really do appreciate the thought but I really, really, REALLY HATE THESE! Pushing carts with these attached should be made an olympic sport because not only are they ridiculously long and awkward to maneuver but almost inevitably they will be the cart that has some weird wheel that won't swivel or turn making things even harder then they should be. Also the "fun" factor of these carts has worn off for my kids. Even though they beg and plead for one every time I get to the store, and for some brain numb moment I say to myself "maybe this time it will be different"...it's not. My kids play in the attachment for approximately 2.5 seconds and then they are doing one or all of the following in no specific order: climbing on top of it, hanging their heads clear out of it so they get whacked by the shelf as I am trying my best to turn the stupid cart without taking the display out, or they have completely left the attachment all together and now are running up and down the aisle singing "The Wiseman" song from primary at the top of their lungs. Which brings me to the next point to why I hate these carts. Now that I have children crawling all over the cart and running up and down the aisles I become "That Mom"- you know, the mom whose cart is full of food along with 2 screaming kids. One kid is in the back crying because his mom put him there for not staying in the attachment. His foot is right in the middle of the bread that is in the cart and his other leg is dangling out of the cart because he is trying to get out. The other kid is crying because I've already been in the store way to long, all he wants is for me to hold him because he's tired and hungry. But you see this is not possible because trying to maneuver one of these carts while holding another child is beyond possible. And because you are "That Mom" you decide to give the stupid attachment one more go, and stick both kids in just to repeat the whole dang process again!
So, dear person who invented these things I have one question for you, do you have something against your mom and is this your sick way of getting revenge? Because if it is I will find you and kick your butt! And then I will gather all carts with attachments and destroy them.
The End.

oh, i am so hearing you right now.
I love you, and totally completely AGREE!!! I'm always hoping those stupid carts won't be around when we get to the store. One time, I told mia if she wouldn't bug me about the car cart, I would buy her a toy!! Such a great parent, I am!
I have sooo been there! I will hunt down said cart inventor with you!
