What to do about my 16 month old and shopping carts?
Q. My 16 month old has recently started to climb out of shopping carts. He won't sit in the seat of shopping carts anymore and insists on sitting inside of the cart where all of the good stuff is, even if there's nothing there. Even sitting inside the actual cart, he won't stay sitting and wants to stand up. How do you suggest I deal with this and how do I get him to actually sit where he's supposed to in the cart?

A. take the stroller with you when you go shopping. or let him walk with you from the parking lot to the store entrance, so he can get some of that restlessness out of his system before jumping in the shopping cart. try letting him grab stuff off the shelf or put things in the cart.
