Babe Ease Original Clean Shopper, Pink Gingham

My son is 7 months old and just started sitting in high chairs at restaurants and shopping carts. So far, the Clean Shopper is working pretty well for us.

The fabric is thick, so it doesn't make a tiny package. It also doesn't fold up neatly, so you have to kind of just wad it up. It isn't cushioned, but if it were it would be huge, and I have enough issue trying to carry my son, a cart cover, my purse, and whatever else I might need. Besides, he doesn't really need cushioning. Even at 7 months, he's perfectly comfy on the thick bedspread-like fabric.

The Clean Shopper comes in a thick plastic bag (the sort of thing bedspreads or other linens come in) that zips closed. It's a snug fit to get in there because of the wadded nature of the bundle, but it works fine. The handle is short and taut, so isn't of much use. A longer strap so it could be shoulder worn or hung on a stroller would be better.

The loops work well, and it's a relief...Read more

I love my clean shopper and every time I use it, I have at least one person asking me where I got it. I also buy it as baby gifts for all of my friends. It's the best purchase that I've bought. There are no strings to tie, no velcro to deal with, no snaps or buttons...it's just a piece of fabric that covers pretty much all size carts. To keep my now toddler occupied while I shop (I still use it for him) I place some goldfish either next to him, or in front of him and he eats them while I shop. Those who say there is no cushioning, that's not really the purpose of the clean shopper! It's purpose is to act as a buffer between you and the cart. If there was cushion to it and tons of bells and whistles, then it would be too bulky and too cumbersome to deal with. I can easily flip it on the cart with one hand while I've got my kid in my other. I highly recommend the clean shopper to any parent.

I highly recommend this item. As soon as your little one can sit up on his own, this is a MUST HAVE for all moms. It fits all shopping carts (except COSTCO, but including TARGET) as well as those icky high chairs available at restaurants. It keeps baby (and Mommy's hands) from touching the cart handle and prevents the kiddo from wedging his legs in the wrong hole in the cart. A MUST HAVE! This is the gift I give at baby showers. I've had for over a year and it has survived many a washing with a touch of bleach. Still looks good.
