Generally not. I Feel foolish putting things in the bottom of a stroller. I’ll homd a small basket if it’s a grocery store. Or use my hands to drape clothing over.

It's a very normal thing to put groceries in the basket of your stroller while you shop.

Amother hotpink, there's no ilder version doona that costs less.
And there's an imitation on Ali for $250 that's very flimsy and has not passed a crash test.

For those of us in Lakewood , shopping is usually done in and out of car. So no need for storage. Personally, I find the the look of snap n go not pretty hence having never had one. I used an attachment to my regular stroller which was a major inconvenience. Can’t wait to have another baby and purchase a Doona. It’s a must on my list and will try to get an older version that costs less. I also wonder why there isn’t a copy of it on the market yet.

There is. I forgot the name of the company. Somebody told me she's seen it a few times.

Let’s say you have a bottle of milk, a bottle of juice, a dozen eggs and a bag of cheese. A few basic things. That’s a heavy basket to hold with one hand while pushing with the other hand. Isn’t it so much easier to lift a light car seat and put it in a shopping cart?

I also live in the suburbs. I use the base of the snap and go as my shopping cart inside stores so it’s very useful. And I personally think the chicco looks nice.

I did not read through this thread.

READ THIS!!!! I have witnessed the doona tip over WITH AN INFANT inside (a lot of heavy shopping bags attached). Please please please if you are going to buy it, adhere to the instructions and dont attach anything to the handlebars even a heavy diaper bag.

Anon because Ive told this to many people in real life.

I borrowed a doona for a trip and it was horrible. So flimsy!! The steering was terrible. I much prefer my snap n go. Also, no taxis let me put the doona in the car because they didn't want the wheels on the seat, which meant I had to hold the baby!! that's not okay. But I also wouldn't want to put dirty wheels in my car, and in my house. I'm not a fan.

The copies from china are not safe as a car seat. Please please don’t use them as such!
