I often think back to the time when we lived in Heidelberg, a middle century town with a beautiful castle. I would spend the whole day with our son in the stroller walking (!), shopping, visiting playgrounds and cafés. I had my backpack and the stroller (where all groceries fit) and I had my feet (!). That is the way you do it in Europe. Every city, town, village has a downtown where you shop, dine… without a car. We have some shopping malls too, but even those are mostly in the middle of the town.
At the beginning we were laughing when we saw that a woman at the shopping mall took her car because the next store was just 50 meters away. Today, we do of course exactly the same…You just adapt.
