Health and safety officials have banned children from being carried in
supermarket trolleys because they claim it is "unhygienic."
Swiss chain
Migros has introduced new rules banning youngsters from being ferried around
their shops unless they are in trolley baby seats.
They claim customers
had complained that tots standing in the main trolley basket could contaminate
food with their shoes or dirty nappies. Store manager Eve Pfeiffer
explained: "People say it is unhygienic and it makes the trolleys
dirty."

But one mother said: "They're idiots if they they think
parents have got time to worry about this. What are you supposed to do
if you have two children - take two trolleys?"

Perhaps she could leave them at home, or not birth more than she can care for.
How about having some trolleys on which the baskets are only 300mm deep. That would stop people putting their children in as they would fall out and it would save my back from bending over 36 times when I am at the checkout.
