Snacks and distractions: pack a small bag of snacks and bring along toys or books to keep your child entertained during the shopping trip.
Dress comfortably: wear comfortable clothes and shoes, as shopping with young kids can be physically demanding.
Have a backup plan: Have a backup plan in case your child becomes fussy or needs a break.
