Sainsburys trolleys with baby seat?

[supertabby]

Has anyone used the trolleys with built in baby seats at Sainsburys, with a 3 or 4 month old?

Our local sainsburys has those trolleys with a flat bed that you can put car seats on. However I think they've only got one or two as in 3 and a half months I've only been able to get one once! I normally use the small trolleys that aren't very deep and put her car seat in, this leaves enough room behind for a few bits of shopping but I can't do a "big shop" this way. I've started going to Tesco for big shops as they have plenty of suitable trolleys, but its 30 mins away (sainsburys is 5 mins) and they don't stock everything I want despite being a massive store.

I need to do a big shop today and need to go to sainsburys as need to use their pharmacy (tesco doesn't have one). I was thinking of trying putting her in the trolley baby seat but are they supportive enough for a 15 week old (she's on 50th percentile with strong neck)? They all look hard - I've got a small blanket that wouldn't offer much padding or a big one that probably won't fold down small enough.

My LO went in those trolly seats right from birth.. I Just used to put a nice padded coat over the seat before I put her in!

No, I doubt that would be supportive enough for a 15 week old tbh. (you do mean the collapsing type seats?) I'm sure they have those plasicky type seats for younger babies too? You know what I mean? I can't think of a way to describe them better?

I think those are the ones the OP is talking about, Claire The kinda reclining plastic kind? I put my LO in them a few times from quite early on and she was fine. That's annoying that your Sainsburys doesn't have more carseat trolleys though - maybe something to raise at Customer Services?

It's the moulded plastic ones.. rather than the metal fold out bit which I would only use with a toddler really.

 

[Mum2b_Claire]

moulded plastic ones would be fine!

do you not have an asda? lol
ive seen young babies in them, but i dont like the look of them incase LO slides out or something and they look so hard!

We've got an asda right near sainsburys but its tiny, we've got an aldi and m&s food too. Pretty good considering we're not in the town centre lol. Sainsburys is the big store locally though.

Evie went in the moulded plastic ones from birth really as we had a car seat that stayed in the car. But we put her on top of a blanket in there as otherwise it wouldnt be very comfy!
