How to Choose a Baby Shopping Cart Cover
What to look for when purchasing a Shopping Cart Cover? As a Mom, these are the considerations that I think are most important when selecting a shopping cart cover. First and foremost.the baby shopping cart cover should cover the entire seating area. This is important!!! If you want the cover to protect your child then it needs to cover the entire seating area.
This has called attention to the fact that even grocery stores realize how easily children could get sick simply from sitting in a cart while going shopping with mom or dad. The problem is that, a majority of grocery stores do not offer these wipes on their own accord and using your own baby wipes out of your diaper bag can be expensive.
Another problem young mothers were having is that it isn’t an easy task to take out a wipe (or use one available from the store) and take 2-3 minutes to wipe down the cart while you are holding your child or if you have more than one child, they are screaming in the car while you are basically doing maintenance work on a grocery cart in the parking lot.
Inside Edition’s lab found several types of bacteria and fungus that could cause disease, especially in people with fragile immune systems like children. The most serious bacteria found was enteroccocus facaelis – indicating the presence of fecal matter.” (Inside Edition, 2003)
You need to choose a style/pattern you like. Whether it is a girly girl pattern to match your princess’s personality, a striking pattern the coordinates perfectly with your diaper bag or a gender neutral pattern that will be used throughout the infant and toddler years of your entire family. Choose whatever will suit you and your family best. I personally love showing off my daughter in her purpley-flowered shopping cart cover……we get so many compliments!!!
Options!!!! All of the name brand shopping cart cover have similar but different options that you will need to consider. Toy Loops: These are a must have. Attach your child’s toys to them so they can’t throw them over board.
Pockets: You will find pockets in different locations both inside the child compartment and on the outside. In general you probably don’t need the pockets to be to big…if your going to be in there for a while and need to bring a lot of stuff in with you, you will surely have your diaper bag. The pockets on the inside are great for holding a bottle/sippy cup and snacks. Pockets on the outside can be really handy for easy access to keys, wallet and a shopping list. You will also want to note where the parent pockets are located and if it has a closure to it so that your child can not get into it……other wise, all will be lost!!!!
They will go through an inspection process and will come with a company backed guaranty of quality. Some of the at home sewers making and selling shopping cart covers do a phenomenal job and produce a top quality product. While others try to increase there profit margin by using cheap, low quality materials and sewing construction methods that are just not going to hold up.
