It is always wise to strap children in with the safety buckles. The possibility is real that children will stretch for items

or try to stand in the carts and that is the recipe for an accident.

even bacteria from diapers. Usually the shopping carts that are sitting outside in the blazing sun has had the bacterias baked to death.
