How is this done with four? Really?I can barely do it with two. Notice my technique: both kids in the cart, food spilling out from underneath, bribing both kids with food and drink.

I kid you not, he was speeding down the street on his first try. What Jafta lacks in fine motor skills, he makes up for in the gross motor department.
