Oh yeah, I know about exposure to germs and it helping them build up their immune system, but I got mine more for... the comfort of sitting in something nice and soft and decorated/amusing, while shopping, instead of a HOT trolley because the fresh food people are too busy talking to retrieve trolleys or becuase it's too hot outside for them too lol.

But then in all honesty...germs do scare me quite a bit..especially since my brother got a nice little germ that than caused a nice little cold along with the blocked up nose which then put pressure on an optic nerve and now he is legally blind!

I figure DS will still get enough germs from the floor and his toys and when school starts back in a couple of weeks
