I think we’ve all been in the situation where you’re trying to unload your groceries into your car, and you turn to find your shopping cart rolling away from you. Has it ever happened when your child was in the shopping cart also? Well it happened to Dyanne and Kevin Houlihan, and it scared them so much they decided to create the Cart-Stopper.

It’s a handy little gadget that attaches to the shopping cart on one end, and a suction cup that attaches to your car, to prevent “run-away” shopping carts. If you’re a mom or dad with young children, this is a handy safety item to own. Currently they are available in retail stores in Sacramento, or directly on their website for just $9.99, or you can try to win one here on my blog just by commenting.

Being a new mommy & trying to do shopping with a young child is a task in & of itself. Let me tell you! I never knew how difficult it would be getting a child out of a shopping cart. So this Cart-Stopper would help me out greatly. Obviously, my opinion of it… LOVES IT!

Cool idea. It can be helpful to moms who does all the household chores, taking care of children and shopping all at same time.

That is an awesome product! I’ve got a new car on the way, and I don’t want it all dinged up, so this would be fantastic.

Trying to unload a shapping cart with a grandkid in the seat is nerve-wracking. I always wish I had an extra hand that I could use instead of This gadget could be really useful in reducing the anxiety.

That sounds like such a great idea. I wish I’d have invented it.

Lynn on 5 May, 2009 at 7:43 am

This is a great idea. Usually I have a foot wrapped around the bottom of the cart while trying to unload the groceries into the back of the truck. Parking the cart at an angle works well to keep it in place but sometimes there isn’t room because of other cars.

The Cart-Stopper sounds like a great idea. I used to work in a supermarket and saw too many kids injured by carts that didn’t stay still. Please add my name. Thank you for the contest!

I not only want this, I need it! You will usually find me with one foot blocking one of the wheels so the cart won’t roll. Then it is difficult to get packages from the cart and into the car. Thank you for the opportunity to participate in this giveaway!
