Most new infant car seats do not attach to shopping carts anymore for safety reasons. It was found out that even with the cart attachments on the seat, it was unsafe for baby. (Also, some shorter parents can't see over the top!) So, no. The Graco SafeSeat does not attach to shopping carts.A great way to carry your baby around in the store is with a baby carrier or sling (like Baby Bjorn, Hotslings, Moby Slings, Evenflo Infant Carrier, etc.) It lets you use both hands and gives you plenty of room for groceries in the cart.Good Luck!

Well this is the way I look at it. I have big babies (over 9lbs at birth) and my first two grew out of there other infant seats at 3-4 months old. Still being too little to sit in the cart on there own but to big for the infant seat. So to me any negatives that there might be of this seat are far outweighed by the fact that I don't have to worry about my soon to be new baby outgrowing the seat so fast.

no, this seat does not fit in the child basket area of most shopping carts... theoretically, the smaller snugRide seats do HOWEVER, I would like to mention that many consider the practice of placing infant carriers on top of the cart unsafeit does fit IN most carts though (put foot end under child basket, and there will be room for groceries behind/under the head end as well as in the child basket... I found this to be the best arrangement for the maximum grocery capacity), or if running in for a few items just take it in your stroller (I LOVE the mosaic stroller)

My daughter was to long for her seat at four months and we had to get a convertible seat that stays in the car. at six months she still isn't sitting on her own so we just use the cart the have the built in babyseat and that works just fine.

Another review says it will break, I did not have this issue. I had a 30 pound child in the seat and dragged this item around for several days. I also loaded it with several baby bags a heavy computer bag, all of the car seat strapped to the cart. Could it break? Anything can, but this product has been on several trips now, taking serious abuse with no issues. We do not ever check it or leave it on seat during flight. Yes this will work, but as per my other answers and comments, the base of the car seat will not rest fully on the base of the cart. The cart base is not meant to be as large as the seat base. Strap it on securely and it should work just fine. Another review says it will break, I did not have this issue. I had a 30 pound child in the seat and dragged this item around for several days.

I believe only the Chicco Keyfit/Keyfit 30 (Chicco's infant carrier carseat) will work. Their carseats are a different size than most (most are made to also fit in the top portion of a grocery store shopping cart, Chicco's do not) so other brand's carseats won't fit in (at least not correctly and securely). I have the Chicco carseat already and I have the opposite problem - when I look at info for double strollers made by other brands the Chicco has limited options of what it will fit into.Graco makes double strollers and you might check to see if the Graco carseats fit into Baby Trend double strollers as well.

There is a belt that comes with it that you can feed through the two holes in the back of the cover (through a cart or high chair) and then snap around the baby. So you could "attach" the cover to the cart, or just go through the cover to secure baby in. The previous answer stating there is no belt is wrong.

It doesn't, because car seats are not supposed to go on a shopping cart. It's extremely dangerous. And clearly advised against it by most car seat makers in the instruction manual. Most stores have built in seats on carts for that purpose.

No it does not, the seat will fall out of it. I think they did this so you can not put it in a shopping cart. Shopping carts have proven to not hold the seats and the baby and the seat will fall out.

Not at all. I usually grab a cart though outside and put the cover on and put LO in it before I walk into the store. However if I carried it in, it wouldn't be a pain.

Just wanted to help clarify conflicting answers. Britax b safe car seat does fit with this stroller frame and quite well, but it can be confusing. First, you have to remove the car seat adapters on the car seat. Imagine everyone who had trouble did this. But, then, if you just lay the car seat on the frame, it will rest lopsided and seem like it doesn't fit well or securely. You need to kind of pull one side of the stroller out a bit, and the car seat will snap into place very securely (I never used the straps). It scuffs the stroller up a bit where you kind of have to push the car seat in pretty hard, but it's really minor. Just wanted to help clarify conflicting answers.

I have! My boys are 17 months apart so I needed my Safety 1st car seat to fit and it does! I use it in the "front seat" (the one furtherest from you). Sometimes I have to push the sides in, but its a nice secure fit! It's a great stroller! Highly recommend! Congrats on your growing family!

Thanks for your reply stephanie. The reason I was asking this Q was also because I was hoping to find a compatible Stroller for my baby with the Roundabout. But it appears that they dont make a stroller where you can just detach the car seat and fit it into a stroller, like they have for the Graco Snugride. What did you do in terms of having a convertible stroller...any Recommendations? Thanks

It's not supposed to go on any part of the top of a shopping part, including over the basket. It sounds like you're talking about having the seat straddle the basket of the cart, which is just as dangerous. Sure, it *could* fall into the basket, a mere 8 inches. Or it could be knocked off completely. Carts are not designed to have items placed on top of them, they become top heavy. Please reference the American Academy of Pediatrics: http://aappolicy.aappublications.org/cgi/content/full/pediatrics;118/2/e545 If anything, put the car seat *in* the basket (or wear your child, have someone else come along, etc). I know its a pain, but so is using a car seat in the first place (on top of a million other child safety measures) and you wouldn't compromise a child's safety in the car just for mere convenience...

We have been considerign purchasing this, can anyone attest to the true smaller size this posts. I just bought a Nissan Versa and thought 3 kids would fit comfortably in the back seat (not quite). We currently have the Evenflo Triumph, Fisher Price Safe Voyage booster, and an 11 year old that gets squeezed wherever she fits. The kids are actually 3, 9, and 11. The 9 year old still needs the booster-he is only 60 pounds. I am considering purchasing this car seat but only if I can get all three kids comfortable in the back seat. This would replace the Triumph.

A lot of manufacturers are intentially making them not to fit in store carts. Doing so isn't safe. This seat is intended for car safety not shopping convenience.

I would never, NEVER put the carseat in the back of this carriage... it's just not worth it. It's not the way the carriage was made or intended for use. Accidents happen...what if you were to tip the carriage up to go up a curb and the carseat fell out?!? I saw someone's review with a picture of the carseat in the back like you are describing and I thought to myself...CRAZY! Use the thing the way it was intended. Better to be safe than sorry. If you think your older child will get bored (?) give them a book to look at or play a little game with them like I Spy or soimething. Your sister doesn't even have this model carriage...don't do it. Follow the directions; it's better than a trip to the emergency room. And if you were to use it incorrectly and something went wrong; you'd look like such an incompetant when you explained how your child/children got hurt. I'm big for following directions and using things properly. Good luck!

This carrier is for DOLLS, not for living babies. It fits 15-18 inch dolls only and although it is designed very similarly to the mommy size one for a real baby it is not authorized or safe for living babies, it is only designed for toys. As for the weight limit of the child WEARING the doll carrier, we have one and my daughter began using at at her 3rd birthday and still wears her dolls in this carrier and has just turned 6. If waist measurement is an issue, I would say that it is pretty expandable and that given its straps and buckles a pretty hefty child could still wear this to carry their doll. The Ergo Baby carriers for baby that a mom would wear usually cost $100 or more. Hope this helps! This carrier is for DOLLS, not for living babies.

It would make a really tight fit for the baby if you tried to put it on a high chair. It is wonderful for a shopping cart though. The big puffy sides keep the baby from swaying back and forth or falling over onto the side of the cart if he/she can't sit up good yet. Now my son is 15 months and can sit up but we still use it to keep him from biting on the handle of the cart where other people have touched it. It also has two velcro tabs to keep his toys from falling on the ground. Shopping cart, YES - Highchair, NOT REALLY.

No, the infant seat is not meant to fit on the top of a shopping cart. Look at your owner's manual and you'll probably find that it specifically says to NOT do it as do the warning pictures in the carts themselves. Put them in the basket if you must keep them in the car seat.
