Do you use a cart cover?

Question

I got scolded by a few people for letting my LO sit in the cart without a cover 🙄. Apparently, wiping it down isn’t good enough.

Answer

I mean I agree it’s a great idea to use that cover. But in reality - it’s another thing to carry around, put it on, etc. 
like how long you spend in the store that it’s worth the effort? 
For now - I’m just wiping the cart and put on swaddle/blanket under her butt.

Answer

I personally wont be using 1 bc our store trips are pretty short , and I don't mind introducing her to some germs , help build her immune system and keep her strong :) I can see the appeal of them though , I just don't see it being for us .

Answer

Whoops sorry I meant to vote No. I hate bringing extra crap with me everywhere I go. She’s perfectly fine sitting in the cart. Babies have been doing it forever.

Answer

I do but sometimes we nap in the cart so we like the extra padding it gives

Answer

I used a cart cover with my son until he was over 1.5. It wasn't a big inconvenience at all. It literally slung like a bag. I'll definitely use it with my daughter too. Until they're bigger at least. Places don't wash/sanitize their carts, only one store has wipes for carts in my area and even then sometimes it's empty. 
However, it's no one's business how you put your kid in the cart. Unless they're in danger of falling out.

Answer

No cart cover here! I am a busy mom and our trips are in and out. I just wipe the cart down.

Answer

I did with my first and not with my second and contemplating if i should with this one 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Your baby is so freaking cute! ❤️  I put my 6 month old in the cart just to see how he’d sit and my boyfriend was not having it 😣

Answer

I haven’t sat her in the cart yet, but I highly doubt I will use a cart cover. I have one but I just don’t see myself carrying it around. I’m just not worried enough about germs. Maybe I should be, but I work in healthcare and I’m just not a germaphobe. I’ll wipe it down but I’m sure that’s about it.

Answer

I use mine when I have my vehicle but I’m not packing it around to put it in my husbands truck when we go out. If we have it, oh well. On another note though, my son loves to chew on the handles and put his face down between the bar to look at the floor. 
My cousins baby also got her foot stuck in the bars a week ago and her husband luckily had bolt cutters in his truck.
