I put it in a drawer away for a long time until LO was old enough to sit up by himself and I no longer used the Snap n go stroller. </p> <p>I would highly recommend getting one of these. I understand the whole argument about exposing your little ones to germs to build up their immunity...but shopping carts? they're pretty gross. My little guy likes to chew and put his mouth on everything...it would be a different story if he just touched things...but no, he must put his mouth on it...so this was a must. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-61796 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 12:53:13 +0000 MegWag 61796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A friend of mine's pediatrician actually told her NOT to use one of these. He said the more exposure they get to germs the better and to let them gnaw on the shopping carts as early as she could stomach it. I have to say, I don't believe in sterilizing everything and wipes and hand sanitizer and all that. Germ exposure can be a good thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-61774 Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:38:34 +0000 singingbee 61774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will be using one at this point. I think one of my sisters will make us a 'custom' one whenever we find out what we are having. My husband is kind of a germaphobe, so he will be happy that we will have something 'between' the germs and the baby. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-61057 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 05:06:26 +0000 SAHM0811 61057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely did without this, but that's probably because we don't grocery shop like people do in the suburbs. It's either online or LO stays in stroller and I fill the stroller basket with our items (it's an NYC thing partly due to certain stores having really narrow aisles where most people don't use carts). However, we do go out to eat a lot, so the high chair feature would be hypothetically useful, but with first LO we had the Phil &amp; Teds Me Too chair that just connected to the table anyway. We don't use that for 2.0 now... Just put her in the resto's high chair. germs sherms... the cover is just another thing to lug around/store/wash -- no thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-61040 Fri, 27 Jan 2012 00:22:33 +0000 BSB 61040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw this cool 5 in 1 cover a couple months ago.<br /> It can be used a changing pad, shopping cart cover, swing cover, high chair cover and a car seat cover. Plus, it can be folded to fit into your diaper bag. It is about $65, though. </p> <p><a href="http://cheerfulchild.com/" rel="nofollow">http://cheerfulchild.com/</a></p> <p>Oh, this is the blog that I found it on. <a href="http://www.metroplexbaby.com/MetroMoms/2011/20111022_BestHottest_Feature.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.metroplexbaby.com/MetroMoms/2011/20111022_BestHottest_Feature.htm</a></p> <p>If any of you saw me post about the Baby Breeza Perfect Temp Kettle, this is the site I saw it on.

I don't plan on sterilizing our bottles, either. I guess I'm old school-- we survived without it and I don't want to "baby" the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-59991 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:56:33 +0000 Red 59991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For stuff that I'm not sure I'll use much, I buy used so I won't feel bad if I end up giving it away later. I bought my shopping cart cover on Craigslist for $5. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-58287 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:14:16 +0000 chopsuey 58287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: ooh, nice! thanks for sharing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-58276 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 22:10:59 +0000 tequiero21 58276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have this on my registry. it's cheap, looks useful.... we'll see if i actually purchase it.</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Bright-Starts-Convertible-Cart-Cover/dp/B004G8QSZ8/ref=br_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&#038;coliid=I3D1HRG5WYL0KI&#038;colid=2YITVEI3A003I" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Bright-Starts-Convertible-Cart-Cover/dp/B004G8QSZ8/ref=br_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&#038;coliid=I3D1HRG5WYL0KI&#038;colid=2YITVEI3A003I</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57348 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:25:48 +0000 mediagirl 57348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I thought about it but decided against it. A friend of mine put it well, "you're going to have a daycare kid. They're around germs every day. A shopping cart isn't going to kill her." :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57345 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 04:23:42 +0000 Red 57345@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got a lot more use from my cart than I had anticipated and used it from when my LO was 6 months 'til about 1 yr old - 6 months was when she was able to sit up properly and 1 yr was when she started walking and refused to be restrained. I loved using it on shopping carts cause 1) less surface area for me to wipe down and 2) shopping cart buckles never fit right; plus, they're usually one of the dirtiest parts of the seat. I also used mine on restaurant high chairs and on baby swings as a harness and extra padding. </p> <p>I kept it in a crate in the car with all her stuff so that it would always be there when I need it. If we take my husband's car, I just move the crate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57330 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:18:43 +0000 looch 57330@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one, we use it when we take LO grocery shopping. I like it because I can keep toys attached to it and he doesn't toss them all over the place. It is also a bit of extra padding on his back, which I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57313 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 00:00:56 +0000 Sha 57313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never got one, my bag is already really full so i'm glad not to have another thing to carry around with me. we just wipe down highchairs and carts with wipes and it works! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57202 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:32:27 +0000 Andrea 57202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never used one. I'll just wipe down the area with a sanitizing wipe. I don't like to go OTT with eliminating germs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57201 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:30:47 +0000 banana 57201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one and used it alot in the beginning for shopping carts and public high chairs. But after a while it became a pain to lug around with us so we haven't been using it much. I just sanitize the areas where he'll be sitting. Plus he doesn't like to sit still for long so comfort has never really been an issue with us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57166 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:38:50 +0000 cyndistar3 57166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't get one because shopping has alwats been a rushed event with us and it just seemed like more trouble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57165 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:35:25 +0000 heffalump 57165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't used it yet because my lo doesn't sit up very well on her own. But I'm excited for it. It looks super comfy instead of all those metal bars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/shopping-seat-cover#post-57162 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:32:10 +0000 chopsuey 57162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have one? Is it worth it? </p>
