When to use shopping cart cover

When to use shopping cart cover? When I had my first child, I wanted to protect her from everything. I didn’t appreciate when people sneezed when she was nearby and I never wanted her to fall. As mothers, we might be a little overprotective sometimes, but if there are things we can do to safeguard our children, we do it.

There are plenty of things you will want to get when you have your first baby. I tried to think through my daily life and things I would have to do in order to get through a week. Shopping is pretty high on that list. No family can get by a week or longer without a trip to the store, right? And when it’s just me shopping, I wash my hands later and don’t worry about the dirty carts. But when it comes to my baby? It’s a different story. When you want to protect your kids in the store is when to use a shopping cart cover

When should you use a shopping cart cover?

Think about the things babies do. At a certain age, they tend to put their mouths on absolutely everything. Including the shopping cart handle. Does anyone ever clean those? How many people touch them in a day? And what did those people touch before they grabbed onto the cart? There are too many unknowns and I was pretty sure I was never going to place my child inside one of those germ-laden carts. But then I saw another mom out and about with a shopping cart cover and I started to investigate them for myself. The cart covers are easy to throw in a bag and take shopping. They’re simple to wash. And, best yet, they protect the child from the cart and everything on it. The only problem is there are tons of options to choose between.

Here are the five best cart covers I found.
