I'm a 25 year old dude. I've spent some time searching for a way to get groceries to my tenth floor apartment. I hate making more than one trip, especially if I've purchased frozen items. Smaller carabiners designed for hiking and climbing are cool-looking (and not clearly labeled as a mommy/stroller product), but they can't fit six or seven plastic bags full of groceries. This product does a great job of keeping plastic grocery bag handles from cutting into my hands when I try to get everything upstairs at once. No more making two or three trips just because I bought a gallon of milk, some OJ, and canned food. For those of you who are environmentally conscious, it works with canvas grocery bags, too.

I keep my Mommy Hook in the car for big trips to the grocery store. It clips conveniently to the vertical bars that support the passenger seat headrest. I'll probably buy another one in order to balance the weight across both arms (particularly for trips to wholesale/bulk stores like Costco.)

Heads-up: the spring mechanism does seem a little stiff and possibly weak. I took care of the stiffness with some WD40, but I'm a little wary about the overall durability. The Home Depot jumbo carabiners are cheaper and possibly tougher, but these ship for free with Prime. If it'll bother you, the "Mommy Hook" printing on the foam grip has been wearing off.

The Mommy Hook would earn five stars if it was cheaper and more durable. And more color options might be nice.

**UPDATE 12/4**

Since purchasing the Mommy Hook, I have picked up a couple of Workforce Jumbo Carabiners from Home Depot. As has been mentioned before, they are nearly identical to the Mommy Hook in all but price. The spring mechanism feels smoother on the Workforce ones, but that was probably due more to luck of the draw than superior manufacturing. If you have a Home Depot nearby, and you probably do, grab a jumbo carabiner the next time you're in there. If you intend to buy online, it's more cost-effective to get your Mommy Hook with Amazon prime than it would be to spend $3 on a carabiner and $6 on shipping at the Depot.

The Workforce carabiners are a little bit higher quality, but they don't come in the kid-tested, mother-approved color of Johnny Cash black. Boring old blue and red carabiners don't say "biker mom" quite like the Mommy Hook.

I decided to look for a similar product at a hardware store after reading some reviews that stated the spring mechanism was flimsy. I found the exact same product (and better quality) for a fraction of the price at the Home Depot. When most sellers are charging about $8 for this, it makes better sense to pay $2.99 at your local hardware store. The one I bought at Home Depot came with the foam a little more centered, but I was able to move it up around the bend just like the mommy hook. Don't waste your money on this one.

I'd give this product less then one star if I could. The hook's spring or whatever makes it snap back together broke the first time I depressed the lever to put it on my stroller. Literally popped off--never to be seen again. I love the idea of this product, but it might be better to pick something up at REI.

We are using this with a baby jogger city mini double. It works great. We hang them off to the side.

This is the second one I've got! I have an ancient double stroller and I now have one on each side to string up all my groceries, book bags, etc! This is only one that hasn't broke within a few trips out! We walk A LOT so we needed something really sturdy and this is IT!

Not impressed with this hook. It still slide around if you put it at an angle and broke within 4 months. And it wasn't even used every day.

I bought this hook off of Amazon for under 3 dollars. I use it with my Pods from JJ Cole. It works great when I am just running around and don't want to carry around a huge diaper bag. I hook it onto the stroller, car seat handle, or on my purse. I have to agree with not overloading your stroller, but that has nothing to do with the hook. Great product for a great price.

I love it! It is much bigger than I expected - bigger than my hand. Which is great. It fits all strollers. I use it all the time in the trunk of my car to keep my bags upright. My friends loved the ones I gave away for presents. Very durable.

Wonderful invention! I wish we had them when my kids were little. My daughter in law loves it. Perfect for the mall shopping.

I purchased 2 of these because I thought they would be good for hanging my baby bag on our stroller. Unfortunately the straps on my bag are difficult to get through the hook if it's already on the stroller. However, these have been great for attaching/carrying other bags, like grocery or shopping bags.
