Amazon.com Product Reviews

Giving parents some peace of mind when placing their little one in an often-used (and rarely cleaned) shopping cart, the Babe Ease Whimsical Clean Shopper completely covers most shopping carts to protect baby from touching and tasting foreign objects. Designed to reduce bacterial and viral exposure, the cushy Clean Shopper easily fits and cinches to the shopping cart (via Velcro) for padded playtime while you shop. It has a safety strap to keep baby secure and side pockets to provide room for bottles, keys, coupons, etc. The brightly colored elephants, birds, tigers, and crocodiles can be considered loud, but cute. The Babe Ease Clean Shopper provides ample comfort and padding, but remains less bulky than other shopping cart cover alternatives--it comes with a convenient travel tote. The manufacturer recommends using this for children aged 6 months and up. --Scott Teal

Good product, but not perfect

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 to have a clean place my son can sit and play with anchored toys. He can't throw the toys in the floor, and he stays entertained.

There are velcro tabs on the front that can be fastened around the front of a shopping cart or high chair. This keeps it in place better. The leg holes don't match up exactly with whatever he's sitting in, but it doesn't cause a problem.

My main problem with the Clean Shopper is that the belt strap does not attach to the seat. It's a completely seperate piece. Unless you are careful to snap the belt clips together, looping the belt around a part of the seat, you will end up losing the strap. Somehow I've lost mine after only a few uses. I kept it rolled up inside the thing when I removed it from a cart, and it probably fell out in a parking lot somewhere. When handling a baby, your purse, whatever is in your cart (or trying to eat at a restaurant), it is very easy to overlook such a small item.

Since the website sells replacement straps, it seems they are aware of the issue. It's a shame they don't have velcro tabs that stick it to the back of the shopper, making it harder to lose the strap. I've ordered two replacements in black, so I can see the strap more clearly against my blue Clean Shopper. I will also make certain I buckle the strap clips.

It's a good seat cover overall, definitely worth having. Just be careful of the strap!

Perfect for an OCD, Type A Mom!
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.

Buy it, Give it as a Gift
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.
