Shopping with young children should be avoided at all costs. Yet sometimes there’s no choice but to bring them along. We took our 5, 3, and 2 year old to Macy’s for a little easter shopping today. As usual they kids ran wild a few times but overall, they were pretty well-behaved.
I noticed two things that Macy’s does to make shopping a little easier: They have LCD screens showing Nickelodeon near the changing rooms, and they provide “price check” kiosks throughout the store. The LCD screens are great for dad and the kids while mom tries on clothes. And the price check kiosks are a big time saver when you locate an item you’d like to buy, but the tag is missing or you’re unsure of the sale price.
We also managed to get out of the store without our kids breaking or stealing anything which is a nice change of pace.
