How to go grocery shopping with an infant in the Binxy Baby. The time will come when you are ready to venture out into the world with your new baby. It usually happens when you realize you are out of necessities and need to make a quick grocery run. Or you will have cabin fever and just need to escape the walls of your home for a bit. I realized quickly going to a grocery store with my newborn was actually the hardest task ever. Sure I could stick the car seat inside of the shopping cart, but then that limited me to the number of groceries I could actually buy. The car seat takes up almost every inch of the cart, then I wondered how people actually connected their car seat to the shopping cart, newsflash there is no way to safely attach your car seat to a shopping cart – just don’t do it. When I saw the Binxy Baby shopping cart hammock I just knew this was the most needed baby item for every parent. There are baby items that fall into the category of want and then there are baby items that fall into the category of need. The Binxy Baby hammock is by far the best invention for shopping with an infant. In the current state of our economy, you can also go for awesome grocery delivery service.
About Binxy Baby
Busy mom, Lisa Pinnell was doing her big “stock-up” shopping with a toddler and newborn a few years ago, and realized she had a problem. She needed to fill her cart with a week’s worth of groceries, but could not, for the life of her, figure out a safe way to contain two kids while doing so. She tried everything: A sling, a stroller, even two carts. She tried putting the entire infant car seat down in the grocery cart but had to cut her trip short when she couldn’t find the baby under the piles of bread and coffee. Nothing worked! She started researching and learned something startling: Falls from shopping carts are among the leading causes of head injuries to young children? About 24,000 kids a year are treated in hospital emergency rooms because of shopping cart-related injuries. She also learned that placing an infant car seat on top of a shopping cart is a big no-no. Those infant seats are big and heavy and besides making the cart top heavy, they tend to fall face first when bumped. Lisa was determined to figure out a solution to her problem. After many late nights, some very ugly prototypes, every safety test you can imagine, and a little help from her mom, the Binxy Baby® Shopping Cart Hammock™ was born.
Binxy Baby®’s patented design makes it easy to clip the hammock onto most carts. The elevated hammock allows you to fill the basket underneath baby. Binxy Baby rolls up, fitting compact into your purse or diaper bag so you always have it on hand. It’s also ideal for multiples, allowing two hammocks to sit side by side. The attached strap allows you to keep baby in the infant car seat and attach it in to the Binxy Baby hammock when you don’t want to take baby out of their seat. It’s a safe and comfortable place to put baby while you shop. The Binxy Baby® Shopping Cart Hammock™ meets or exceeds all applicable safety standards.
How To Go Grocery Shopping With An Infant Binxy Baby
Go grocery shopping with an infant in the Binxy Baby. Simply attach the clips to the basket sides allowing the Binxy Baby to lay like a hammock. The clips have two velcro straps that keep them secure to the basket. The Binxy Baby allows for a weight capacity of up to 50 lbs, so adding the baby and the car seat is completely safe. There is a seat harness that holds the baby in as well so it works just like most seats you have at home that hold a baby in place. The hammock is perfect for babies who are not rolling yet so that they are completely safe.
My Thoughts
I’m all for making life easier and thanks to the Binxy Baby® Shopping Cart Hammock, I don’t have to fumble with a car seat and play Tetris with my groceries to make them fit in the cart. My Target trips are just as important to me (don’t tell my husband) and I love that I can still shop with my baby on board without skipping a beat. She seriously loves shopping trips and is completely content with her view from the Binxy Baby shopping cart hammock. I knew for myself that this was a must-have product for new moms and it’s also pretty cool when people stop me in the store and rave about how comfortable my daughter looks in her hammock.
