Instead of having a rule that kids had to hold my hand in a parking lot, I would park near a cart and put some kids in right away, or tell them to hold on to the cart (a.k.a. "help me push", so a kid can be between me and the cart). And they didn't have to hold a hand. There weren't enough hands. I'd say "Hold on to something," and it might be my jacket, or the strap of the snugli, or the backpack, or something.

"Hold on to something" or what?

I love how Marty has a sword tied to his waist! Reminds me of us, and also roller coaster shopping cart and helping with pushing. They grow too fast!
