Before I had kids I wasn't a germaphobe, but now... look out. Taking my 3 boys into a public restroom is an anxiety-producing event where I find myself saying "Get off the floor!" "Don't touch that!" "You just washed your hands, stop playing with the garbage can!" and more while I scream on the inside.

So while your baby is still sweet and easier to contain, keep them clean and comfy. These pretty shopping cart covers are padded to protect floppy bodies from dents, plus no one will be able to chew on the filthy cart handlebar which hundreds of people have rubbed their germy hands all over. (Ack, it still grosses me out just remembering my kids doing that, and my youngest is now 4 years old!) They're also great for those times you end up in a restaurant which appears to have never cleaned their highchairs.

Even if you haven't become a germaphobe like me, these cart covers look very comfortable and might even encourage junior to fall asleep while you shop!

Peanut's Boutique has beautiful shopping cart covers for $45, and she'll include toy loops and lined pockets at no charge if you ask. - Erika
