Shopping cart covers - did you use/need them?

I was given one when DD2 arrived...used it zero times in the past 7 years lol

I figure kids get germs from most things they touch, can't protect them 24/7!

Another that thinks they are a waste of time. I have stuck all my kids in the seat with no covering and they all survived. I did line the layback seats with a blanket when they were very small, just for the comfort of not leaning against the cold plastic.
