Shopping carts

K so dd is 12 mos, and we are going to get a new car seat this w/e but something just occurred to me. Now that we are ditching the newborn bucket carseat that can clip in and out, more importantly clip into a grocery cart, I've all of a sudden realized we won't be able to do that anymore. Lol! Clearly I'm a bit of a germie and the thought of putting dd in the seat of a nasty germ infested cart gives me the creeps. I know you can buy those shopping cart covers but do they work?

Re: Shopping carts
I don't use a shopping cart cover. I have one, but it never stays in place well and annoys me.
Re: clipping onto the top. The fact that some seats "click" in is a coincidence. In addition to making the cart top heavy and more likely to fall over

Whatever as far as putting the infant bucket on the top part of the cart. Don't wander away while your baby is up there, but if you're standing at the cart the whole time you're in the store, I really don't think it's a big deal at all. Sur

I used covers for a few months and then stopped. They weren't really a hassle - I would put the cover on the cart before taking the girls out of the car so there wasn't any juggling on babies involved. I just threw them in the trunk when we

We use the shopping cart covers. We use it for restaurant high chairs and the shopping carts. You have to wash them, so that can be annoying, but I think worth it. Those things (carts and public high chairs) are germy.

All of what Lala said. Car seats are not meant to go on top of a cart EVER!!! Youtube the stories and videos of what have happened. You should always put the seat inside the cart......anywho snce you are done with the bucket seat no worries.
