Thanks to the Internet we now have an abundance of mom hacks that moms everywhere are sharing that simply put, make our lives easier. Who doesn't love it when a mom shares her tips and tricks that make mom life easier on Facebook? Even better is when these amazing mom hacks go viral so that moms everywhere can benefit.

If you're a mom chances are you've struggled to get your child in a shopping cart before. When kids are smaller it's often difficult to get their legs through those tiny leg holes in the shopping cart without banging their knees. As kids get older they like to sit in the cart part of the shopping cart leaving moms to pray they don't throw their backs out in the middle of Target while hoisting their toddlers in to the cart. It's worth it though because having a toddler contained in the shopping cart instead of racing through the aisles as you desperately try to do your shopping is worth the sore back.

Laura Castrillo is a married mom of three who lives in Houston, Texas. It was after her mom complained about lifting her kids in and out of shopping carts when she would take them with her on errands, that Laura decided to share her amazing shopping cart hack with not only her mom, but the world!

Castrillo simply picks up the back piece of the shopping cart, allowing her son to jump in and when shopping is over she lifts it up again so he can hop out. No breaking your back leaning over a shopping cart as you try to lift you ever growing toddler out of the cart. Now they can simply climb in and climb out! Genius.

Castrillo explained in a post on Love What Matters that the shopping cart hack wasn't all her idea. "I learned the cart hack from my stepmom," she wrote. "My stepbrother, whom I help take care of when my parents are working, has some disabilities, and my stepmom discovered this easy way of getting him into the shopping cart when he was younger. I’ve been doing it with my own kids for about 2 years now, and it has made shopping with them a lot easier."

After Castrillo made her post public, she writes that she has received a lot of really great responses.

"Moms with special needs children who are heavy but need to be in the cart, moms who are in the final stages of pregnancy and have toddlers that can’t be left to walk around in the store, and grandparents like my mom who are disabled but love spending time with grandkids in any way that they can,” she writes are just some of the people she's heard from.

This is definitely one mom hack that every mom with younger children should be using to make their lives easier!
