Reply #22: Okay, Zomby, put down your keyboard, gather some friends

and go outside RIGHT NOW and play TAG! Then I want you to build a fort, or barring the necessary materials, invite your friends for a sleepover and build a blanket fort. Do this twice daily for as long as symptoms of grumpiness persist. I like righteous idignation as much as anyone, but sometimes you gotta take a break and restore your sanity.

The carts are not new, they are not provided to "coddle" kids, they are a marketing gimmick to bring in the parents. My son loves to ride in it, but has just as much fun in the regular cart. Sometimes he's calm and quiet and sometimes he's loud and has fun, often it is combination of both.

My Safeway also has the motorized scooter carts for those that feel they need them. Hopefully you don't run into one of those deals until after your prescribed playtime is complete.
