More than 24,000 kids injured in shopping cart accidents every year
Fractured skulls, concussions and sometimes death because parents are skipping one simple step when they shop.
Ruse on the Loose: Wharton company makes shopping safer for kids
Sometimes the best ideas happen by accident. Watching a news report in 1982, Paul Giampavolo listened as the announcer told how many children were injured falling out of shopping carts every year. “I had seen it firsthand,” said Giampavolo, who, while working at the Dumont ShopRite in the 1970s, stopped an unrestrained toddler from a shopping cart fall. “I saw this child stand up in a shopping cart. The parent was nowhere around, the child was at the other end of the aisle. I ran and grabbed the child before he could fall out and sat him down. His mother came around the corner and I told her what happened. And that was sort of uneventful.”

In my pre-parenting life, the top of the shopping cart was reserved for eggs, bread, and my sometimes clunky purse. Now as a mom, I look at the shopping cart quite differently. I look at a trip to the supermarket from a new perspective entirely.
