RE: safe shopping cart cover
Hi Jodi-
I have the Buggy Bagg (www.buggybagg.com) and absolutely LOVE it. I thought about getting the C4K one, but since Sophie isn't quite sitting up by herself yet, the pillow that comes with the BB is what sold me.
Granted, it costs a little more, I've never seen anything so well made. I have a friend who now has three kids (4, 2 and 12w old) and she was floored by it. That has to say something!
I got the plain black and white gingham one and it's beautiful.
And yes, it does fit everything from the highchairs, the little carts at Whole Foods and the giant ones at Costco.
As far as "procedure" goes, I've been a little lax and have only been belting Sophie to the cover - and not the cover to the cart. If she's being particularly wiggly, I will do it, but I find it to be a bit of a hassle for now. I'm sure that as she gets bigger and braver (reaching out for things other than my handbag), I will have to belt the cover to the cart.
Good luck!
