my previous fitbits had trouble counting steps while holding on to a shopping cart.  On the elliptical when I hold on to the moving bars.  Does the ionic have the same issue?

Yes all wrist models do as they need to see the arms swinging.

@DitecIt's always a problem with wrist based trackers..

 

I have been doing some testing using the Zip in another topic on strollers and trolleys and suggesting that if you feel inclined to use the multi mode with a Fitbit Zip you will never lose a step..  I have suggested this because the Fitbit One is discontinued.
