Investigative Mommy Blogger’s field investigators, 14 moms, tracked shopping carts during their normal shopping. The method was simple: go where you normally shop, grab the first five shopping carts you encounter, and examine them to see if a child can safely be secured. Our findings showed that about a third of the time, a child cannot be secured. The reports are ongoing, and you can participate as a reader by simply submitting the form at the bottom of the page after your next shopping trip.
