We all know that shopping carts are filthy. Think about all the people throughout the day touching it…who knows where their hands have been? That’s why I like this Deluxe Shopping Cart Cover. Not only does it provide a clean place for your baby to sit while you shop, it has Microban protection that keeps germs and bacteria from transferring onto the cover. It also completely covers the shopping cart seat and has extra cushioning in the middle for extra-baby comfort. In addition to being super-clean, this product features a fun zoo animal design with teether keys, a zoo map, and 2 little stuffed animals attached to keep her occupied. You can get your own antimicrobial shopping cart cover at thebabymarketplace.com for $49.75.

I discovered these on ebay a few years ago, and was very impressed with the appearance, which far outshines anything I have seen in stores. I fell in love with this blue toile version, and have not been disappointed. The cover is very luxurious—the fabric is soft and it is very well-padded, and it still looks great after numerous washings. It came in handy after we transitioned to a convertible car seat and no longer had the luxury of being able to plop the infant seat into the shopping cart. It kept my little one happy, and I got tons of compliments from other shoppers. It is also works as a highchair cover, and, although I have never tried it myself, it can be used on a swing at the park. Now that my toddler refuses to sit in a shopping cart, I’ve passed it along to a friend. There are tons of fabrics to choose from at angelynrose.com. This particular cover sells for $52.99. I don’t believe the company has a celebrity following just yet, but it certainly deserves to!
