Is it ok to wheel a trike around a supermarket? Or should it be parked outside, if parked outside where should it be parked?

You have to walk it, you can't ride it. Some shops will make you pick it up and carry it.

QUOTE You have to walk it, you can't ride it My tush wouldn't fit in the seat lol. To clarify, it has a long handle on the back that I control. The pedals to control cannot be reached as yet, so no wheelies happening or crazy kid zooming about. QUOTE Some shops will make you pick it up and carry it. Really? That's crazy. Kids hand in one hand, trike on hip, groceries on......head?! This post has been edited by ~Jane05~: 27/12/2012, 02:42 PM

DD was walking her scooter through Big W the other day and we got in trouble (we had walked to the shops)...had to fold it up and carry it. OH&S stuff apparently.

I think if it's parent-controlled like you describe, it's ok, not much difference from a pram. Otherwise not.

The one like you describe wouldnt bother me at all. Kind of like a pram really if its one that you control.

Parent controlled ones are fine! I took my DD a handful of times to the supermarket in one and I've seen them around Westfield too.

Parent controlled ok. Once they become kid controlled then they don't belong in a shopping centre.

Absolute screaming hissy fit about the child propelled missile trikes loose in the supermarket but see no problem about what you describe. It's hardly different to a stroller really.
