We received this item as a gift, and initially thought it was great. However, I quickly realized that it doesn't fit a lot of shopping carts. Many stores now have carts that have a larger distance between the handlebar and the seat, with cupholders in between, and this cover will not fit them. Also, the velcro squares that hold the cover in place are not strong enough and come apart frequently - snaps would have been better. This cover also does not cover the sides of the cart seat, so if your child tends to hold onto the sides for support, you will not be as germ-free as you hoped.

I bought this shop and play because it seemed like a great product to keep little hands and a little mouth off of dirty shopping carts. The product covers very little of the cart. Also the padding is very thin and doesn't add any comfort to the seat. The toys hang too low in the front for the baby to reach. I would recommend getting a Floppy seat instead. I would not recommend this infantino product.

I thought this would be a great item - a tummy time mat while the baby was really little, and then shopping cart cover when he was older. As a tummy time mat it was ok, though it was annoying how the velcro stuck to the carpet.

But as a shopping cart cover, it's useless! You can use the strap around the baby as a seat belt, or feed it around the cart, but it's difficult to do both. It doesn't fit over the handles of all shopping carts. The snack cup flops over and won't hold a thing. The pea pod backrest is cute, but that's about the only positive thing I can say about this item.

There are a lot of other shopping cart covers that are a lot easier and faster to use. Skip this one.

This one doesn't cover enough of the cart and doesn't fit many carts. It's not worth the trouble. Get one that covers the whole cart!

I, too, registered for this cart cover thinking of all the germs my baby would be protected from and how much fun he'd have when we used it for tummy time and in the store. Wrong! Like another reviewer posted, when using for tummy time, it was okay, but the velcro would constantly get caught on the carpet. When using in the store, it's such a hassle to hold the baby while wrestling to unroll it, fasten it, loop the belt throught the cart spokes squeezing the baby into it (his legs always seem to get caught in the flaps)and strap him in. I swear, the fist time we used this item, we spent more time trying to set it up than we did in the store! Not to mention the fact that the toys are utterly boring and play annoying, fake-sounding animal sounds and singing that sound alien-like. Oh, and yes, while this will protect your baby from biting the front/handle of the cart, it does nothing to shield him from the sides of the cart. Yep, my son loves to gnaw on the sides, so a lot of good this cover does me.

I say this cart cover is a waste of money. There are better ones out there.

This cart cover does not fit any carts that I've used it on and when I put my daughter in it, the velcro comes loose. I wouldn't recommend.

I was so excited to receive this as a gift for my son. Not only will it prevent him from sucking on a nasty shopping cart, but it would help him to sit up better in a cart.

I was sadly disappointed. I was holding him and trying to get it positioned in the cart and all velcroed into the appropriate places, when I realized it was way too small for the cart. It took me a good 5 minutes to get it into the cart, and him into it. Because it didn't fit the cart correctly, I couldn't hook him into the safety strap. His legs wouldn't go through the holes because they were up too high since I had to velcro the front to the handlebar. I ended up hooking it up in a place it didn't go just so he would have something to sit in since I had no place else to put him. He is 8 months old but has just learned to sit up so wobbles side to side. The head rest couldn't be used because of the way I had to rig it into the cart. Then he fell side to side and it offered no protection there. Because of the way I had to attach it into the seat, he didn't have access to any of the toys.

This was such a disappointment. I want to return it but received it as a gift. I'd like to purchase a different one. I emailed the company and low and behold, I have not heard from them yet. Not very good customer service.

I would not recommend this at all, there are much better and nicer ones out there that will do the job.

I tried this product and three other similar products in the store with the shopping cart and my 10-month-old son. First, I tried the Funny Farmer Shop & Play ($20 at Target): It does NOT cover the sides of the cart so what is the point? SKIP IT! Next, I tried the Safari Cart Cover also made by Infantino ($40 at BRU): It does cover all sides and was very cute with bright colors and a few toys. My son actually liked it. I almost bought it. Next, I tried the Floppy seat ($40 at BRU): I hated this thing! It was huge and the leg holes were too big. I really didn't like it although I see lots of moms with them. I also read several reviews that said the Floppy faded when washed. Finally, I tried the Buggy Bagg ($60 at BRU): It is the one I purchased and I couldn't be happier. My son loves it. I have used it at Publix, Target, Walmart, and at several restaurants as a high chair cover. It is a little large for some high chairs but it does work. I really didn't want to pay $60 for something I might not use that often but I have had it two weeks and I have used it 7 times! My son shopped in Target in the Buggy Bagg without crying or fussing for over an hour. Also, this one is very, very easy to put on the cart, unlike the Floppy cover. If I had to pick a second choice, I would get the Infantino Safari Cart Cover for $40.

I bought this one because it was cheaper than the others and I thought there couldn't be much dfference. WRONG! It didn't fit on any carts so it slid all over the place, and the toys were too easy to pull off. I returned it and plan to buy one with elastic.

This cover is very poorly designed. The padding is worthless and provides no cushioning to prevent the metal digging into my baby's chubby thighs. It's very cumbersome to attach all the velcro to make it stay in place, and then it's too narrow and doesn't cover the sides. The cup holder in the front doesn't grip anything. I don't know why it's even there. Now I use the EZ Carry Floppy Seat. It's much better and covers even Costco-sized carts with plenty of cushioning. I'd rather buy a home-made cart cover on E-bay than throw money away on this one again.
