Big Stroller/Double Stroller with Single Kid:
It seems silly to suggest a big or double stroller while having a single baby. However, it can help you in several ways. A big stroller can help you out while grocery shopping. You can collect certain grocery items in the large storage basket without compromising on baby care.

Another method that I discovered when I had my first baby Emma. I can remember when I had my first baby and I didn’t have any experience to deal with a stroller while grocery shopping. In fact, I got my wires crossed at that time. Same time, a lady came to me and told me about this trick.
While grocery shopping, you can push your baby stroller and pull the grocery items cart. It is somehow tricky to manage; however, once you get habitual of it, it will be a piece of cake.
Car Seat on the Cart
Another option can be used while grocery shopping with a kid. You can remove the car seat from the stroller and attach it to the shopping cart.
This option can be used only when you have a removable car seat with cart attachment settings.
Moreover, there will be a little space for shopping items in the cart by adjusting the car seat in the cart.
Baby Carrier with Stroller as a Cart
The other option that can be used while shopping is the use of a baby carrier. You can wear your baby with the help of a baby carrier and use your stroller as a shopping cart in the mall.
On the other hand, you can only go with a baby carrier and use a shopping cart for shopping.
