That's the situation Maxine Lee has found herself in, and she took to Instagram to admit that the process can be far from smooth.

Sharing an Instagram reel of how she manages getting around the store with nine kids, Maxine wrote: "There are days where I take all 9 children out by myself and it’s a beautiful experience, but it would be a lie to tell you it’s like that all the time."

In the video, she was seen pushing four of her kids in a quadruple stroller, while one was sat at the front in the trolley, one was sitting in the trolley and one was pushing the trolley.

The trolley was attached to the stroller with a large clip, while a child was seen walking along and holding onto the trolley.

And Maxine had had to store her purchases underneath the trolley and inside it, as she looked around home improvement store Lowes with her kids.

She was quickly praised for her bravery by people in the comments section, with one writing: "Amazing mother".

"And I'm complaining with Three," another added.

While someone else commented: "The cart is clipped to the stroller?! Brilliant.

"I just had twins and I avoided these outings at all costs."

Others insisted Maxine should try and find ways not to have to take her whole family out.

"Why would you do this to yourself?" one wrote.

"I have twins 2y9m and only recently I have started to take them by myself without worrying that they might be in danger."

"I would’ve ordered the stuff online lol," another added.
