shopping cart covers

So I just started looking at shopping cart covers. DS is really starting to hate this car seat unless he is actually in the car so I thought a cover would be great so in another month or so he can just sit in the shopping cart.
Any recommendations on brands or features? TIA ladies!

Re: shopping cart covers
I don't have any recommendations, but I would consider looking for a used one, if that's your style. I bought one and never used it with my first. Definitely won't be doing that again this time around. Also, if you shop at Target a lot, and your Target has that newer plastic-style cart, your cover may not fit. That's what happened with me...
On the plus side, most stores now have antibacterial wipes for carts. I just wipe them down and put the kiddos in and we're good to go.
I second the idea of not spending much. I never used one. I just wipe with anti-bacterial wipes. Less hassle. I never really understood the point of them.
I know that I have seen them in places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls ... probably cheap there although I never really looked.
Granted I didn't use mine for long, but I did like that it was a comfier seat area for my DD and every surface was covered. It's more coverage than just wiping down the handle bar, etc. - as we all know kids will touch anything/anywhere. Her bare legs stayed clean, no pinched fingers/legs, and her toys, sippy, etc. all stayed cleaner than if they were rattling around in the cart seat without a cover.
I don't remember offhand what kind I have, but it is big enough to cover the Target carts, and it works welll on highchairs at restaurants. I got a blue/green/ teal one that worked for my DD and will work well for my DS this time.
They're a little bit of a pain, but for a short period of babyhood, I think they are worth it. Read reviewers online before you choose which one you want to buy - even if you are buying yours secondhand (which I recommend as well).

I just looked back at pics of DS1. He was 6 months old when we started using the seat. He started sitting on his own at 4 months 3 weeks (although not steady at it until a month later.)
I don't know what I will be doing with DS2 because DS1 still sits in the cart seat. Those big ones for multiple kids are a PIA.
I used this one with DS1 i think around 4ish months. was thinking of pulling it out for DS2, but then I wouldn't know where to put DS1!
