I remember now! I was so upset for you and immediately texted my sister to make me one whenever we needed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-618652 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 17:48:37 +0000 anbanan15 618652@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. My mom and I made it. It is reversible and folds into an attached pouch. The buckle becomes a handle. I love it because I know it is clean or at least LO's own mess. It's pretty big and fits the large Costco carts and the plastic Target ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-618645 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 17:43:13 +0000 OCmama 618645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the skiphop one. I don't think skiphop sells it anymore but you can find it at toysrus and on amazon. I like how it folds into itself into a small sack. </p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12761615" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12761615</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-618609 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 17:27:20 +0000 sorrycharlie 618609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one, but haven't used it yet because I haven't transitioned LO to the big seat yet.

Yuck yuck yuck. </p> <p>I wish they had a car wash for carts, that would solve some of the issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-618335 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:01:49 +0000 MamaBehr 618335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use one! We used it for DD and now I use it for DS. It fits most shopping carts (not the ones at Target though) and on highchairs at restaurants. </p> <p><a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/balboa-baby-shopping-cart-cover-black-white-geo-27848" rel="nofollow">http://www.diapers.com/p/balboa-baby-shopping-cart-cover-black-white-geo-27848</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-618190 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:32:02 +0000 heffalump 618190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is the one who got salmonella. We don't know if it's for sure from the grocery store, but they said its common and to use a cover. People put raw meat in their cart and then we put our los in the cart right after them. Yuck. I used to think I didn't want to worry about germs, kids need germs, etc. And I still don't use a cart cover in stores like Michaels that don't have food. But germs and salmonella are two different things. </p> <p>Please use a cover people! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-618148 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 15:23:06 +0000 singingbee 618148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister is going to make one for us. Didn't someone's baby get sick on from the shopping cart? Does anyone else remember that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-617979 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:44:37 +0000 T-Mom 617979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@StbHisMrs: I love the quality, and mine is in great shape after 4 years still!

I wipe it down (sometimes). And then I lay the flannel receiving blanket I keep in my diaper bag down in the seat and kind of over the front handles where their fingers go most. I'm in the camp that reasonable exposure is good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-617918 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:29:07 +0000 StbHisMrs 617918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, and I love it! I looked for one that covered all carts including costco and Target and the reviews for the Buggy Bagg were great. We ordered from Amazon and their customer service is top notch. The only problem I had was when i washed it for the first time the brown bled onto the lighter colors, buggy bagg replaced it with no questions! </p> [attach=1475/13/mj97gj.600x506.71E5jjqGlBL._SL1000_.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-617910 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:27:04 +0000 T-Mom 617910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a Buggy Bagg (different pattern). I bought it a few years ago, and I can't believe how expensive it is? It is very unlikely I bought it for this price, but it is excellent and can be folded out and put in place with one hand (while you are holding baby in other arm).<br /> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Buggy-Bagg-Elite-Shopping-Cover/dp/B005NC9UIS/ref=sr_1_4?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1362597900&#038;sr=1-4&#038;keywords=buggy+bagg" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Buggy-Bagg-Elite-Shopping-Cover/dp/B005NC9UIS/ref=sr_1_4?s=baby-products&#038;ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1362597900&#038;sr=1-4&#038;keywords=buggy+bagg</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-617884 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 14:19:49 +0000 MsLipGloss 617884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't used it yet, but I plan to.

I'm not worried about germs, but she climbs out of the cart if we don't use the cover...

Not so concerned about the germ-factor, but more the extra support it gives him now. He's so little in that big cart seat and kind of tips over still. The rings to attach toys to is nice, too! I think mine is an Eddie Bauer brand from buy buy baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-617694 Wed, 06 Mar 2013 13:35:50 +0000 babynumber1 617694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use ours all the time.

I will wipe down the cart or chair if there are wipes/sanitizer nearby but if there isn't then I just keep him from licking it and hope for the best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-488096 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:58:10 +0000 eeh 488096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have enough to juggle between the baby, diaper bag, reusable bags, groceries for us and groceries for my grandma tha there's no way I'm juggling a huge piece of baby gear like that. I wipe it down with a wipe and plop her in and away we go. Exposure to germs is good for her anyway. If she's really tempted to chew on the bar (she rarely does this) I will drap my coat over it and wash that when I get home. Then, I wipe daughter down with a baby wipe and wash my hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-488089 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:56:12 +0000 Bao 488089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was debating getting one... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-488086 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:55:23 +0000 Smurfette 488086@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got one as an early shower gift. I plan on using it. All those germs scare me. I wipe down the shopping cart now and I am just pushing it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-488080 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:54:55 +0000 yin 488080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We used it a few times, but it was too much of a hassle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-488073 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:52:03 +0000 mediagirl 488073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've considered using one but I figure she is getting more germs from daycare every day than she would from that shopping cart, especially if I wipe it down. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-488063 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:50:24 +0000 Mrsbells 488063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-487973 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:21:39 +0000 Weagle 487973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do. I don't know the brand, but it's huge and covers the entire cart seat area. I like it because it catches LOs toys when she drops them, it has rings to attach toys, little pockets, and she is a little more supported in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-a-shopping-cart-cover-1#post-487946 Tue, 08 Jan 2013 09:15:24 +0000 littlecasita1122 487946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has been sitting pretty well unassisted for the past month so we started using ours in the past week a few times. I like how it's really well cushioned around him and it's nice with all the links to attach toys to. It was a pain to set up the first time but now we find it pretty easy to use.
