"Attention Kroger Shoppers"

Another example of technology permeating the lives of our youngest. It is not enough to be pushed around in the shopping cart. Now toddlers expect to get behind the wheel and do the driving themselves.

How are we to keep them in the shopping cart once they have been the driver of this wonderful car? What's a grandparent (or parent) to do?
Creative thinking in selecting this photo for the theme, Allison.

Oh this is TOO funny, Allison! I've never seen these before! Our grocery store has real miniature-sized shopping carts - may have to get a shot of one ...

[cglist]

Neat shot - I can't imagine trying to navigate one of those things through crowded aisles!

[Rick Schies]

Oh but what a good way to occupy their little inquisitive minds and hands.

I've used these with the grandchildren. It's good there are no cart police on duty - I've almost crashed several times and I'm a good driver....guess I should say, I was not seated in the car - I was the driving force behind the cart!

OK, as cute as these "vehicles" are , they sure are awfully big to be maneuvering around in a some of those narrow grocery aisles...but I am sure a mom does not have an easy way out of using them...once little "Johnny" or "Susie" spots them there is no turning back!

[Susan McIntyre]

I really dislike those things. The store where we take our grandkids doesn't have them. Nice colorful photo.

[Della]

great idea for the theme---the kids do seem to enjoy them!!

[Suzie Townsend]

Your processing is wonderful! Really enhances the colorful photo! I love this!

[Jodie Atkinson]

lol great shot. I wonder how many kids end up with whiplash.

[Melissa Pike]

Cute shot!

[LeenaH]

Cheerful colours and this car idea is good as long as children can traffic rules in the shops :)

[Malena]

What a fun shot :)

The kids are so much fu to watch as they "pilot" the car(t) through the store. Luckily the steering wheels do not actually steer the cart because there is always a lot of spinning and turning!

[weslyn hoekstra]

oops! fu=fun

[Pamela Fillhouer]

wish i could have rode in one of these when i was little :)

[Diana Moss]

great colourful shot I am sure the children love riding in these

[Tiina Kaaria]

I love the bright colors. They are blue in our grocery store:)

Thanks a lot for your comment. And yes, I feel much more energy after a weekend out of the city.

[Sara]

Is it wrong that I am a little jealous of the kids that get to ride in those?

[Ginette Bellefeuille]

hahaha good one Allison... you are so right... and I am with Sara Hall... I am jealous.,..

I like the carts. They keep the little ones occupied and more quiet. re: the flag pole. No homeowners association is one of the reasons it took me so long to find a house. This is an older neighborhood with most of the houses built in the 30' and 40's. The man I bought the house from was a heavily decorated vetran. He left the US flag as well as a decorative one off of the front porch. The neighbors don't mind the flag and pole, I think it it reminds them of Rick (the former owner) who moved to Ohio.
