Struggling to push a stroller and a grocery cart at the same time? Use a carabiner or other hook to attach the front of the grocery cart to the handlebars of your stroller. This way, you can just push the stroller, and the cart follows behind.

Using the front undercarriage of your stroller to lug heavy items?

Make sure the stroller doesn’t tip forward when you let go by attaching ankle weights to the back poles to balance the weight.

Do you hate that your stroller tracks mud into the house when you come back from a walk? Keep a four-set of shower caps by the door to put over the wheels before bringing it inside. You can do the same before putting the folded stroller into the trunk of your car.

If walking your baby when streets are icy is an unavoidable chore, stay safe by tying zip ties around the wheels, then cutting off the leftovers (make sure the ties are facing out so that they don’t get stuck in the spokes). This way, you’ll have just a bit extra traction on those slippery sidewalks.

Bottles and snacks keep getting dropped? Make sure to tie them to the rim of the stroller so that they can be pulled right back up.

Going for a night walk? Attach a portable light to the bottom of the stroller to illuminate your path…and make you more visible from a distance to others.

Is your undercarriage storage space turning into a total mess? Use a shoe organizer to separate all the things you store down there.

Don’t want your stroller to take up so much floor space? Use an over-the-door iron holder to hang it up so it’s out of the way.

If other family members and sitters are helping out with your child in the stroller, you can make things easier for them (and for yourself, if you’re just forgetful), but writing instructions on dot stickers and placing them on the various buttons that need to be pressed to open and close the stroller, and to release the car seat from it.

Keep an emergency information card tied around your child’s car seat. If you have an accident where you are not responsive, first responders will have basic information about your child.

You can print this template onto cardstock and put it in an ID holder.

Have a long drive with a just-barely potty-trained toddler? Cut a puppy pee pad to size (and cut a hole in the bottom if in a 5-point harness) as a backup plan.

This is also helpful if your child is still in diapers but your worried about leaks/explosions when you can’t pull the car over.
