Who has a trolley cover? I 'm waiting for a Trolley Monster to arrive..can't wait!! Anyway, my question - How often do you guys wash your cover? After every shopping trip? on a weekly/fortnightly basis? Or when it's dirty/ you feel it needs a wash?
Nic
I don't have a trolley cover, but I've sold a few! I don't think you'd need to wash it after every use because your bub is only going to be touching the clean part that doesn't touch the trolley IYKWIM. Just chuck it in the wash if it gets spills on it or if it starts to get dirt on it :)
I hate to think of what germs are on those shopping trolleys *shudder*.
I have one and used it for DS when he was really young - for comfort and hygiene.
I didn't wash it much because he didn't eat while he was sitting in it, and the bit that touches the trolley didn't touch him. Probably washed it every couple of months - if that.
I have one and must admit that I love it. I only wash it when it gets dirty. So with Liv that's pretty much every time, LOL!!
What on earth is a trolley cover!?

Hi Nic,
Yep I've got one :) I love it, especially at the moment as ds is not happy to it in his pram, only in the trolley :rolleyes:
I actually on just washed mine the first time the other day after 3 months of use :lol: It was pretty grotty.
ETA- Hoobley- soft fabric cover that sits in the seat on trolleys... Hmm maybe someone else can explain it a bit better?
i have one too and im yet to wash it :redface:
bx its a cover that covers the seat and handle etc.. of a trolley
In a supermarket trolley or a pull-along shopping cart (like a papoose?).
What's it for?
Bx
Bx, If you google for 'Trolley Monster' you should find it :)
I got a green dino. I couldn't make up my mind which one, so showed the candidates to DH and he chose for me lol.
Nic
It's for a supermarket trolley. It covers the baby seat and handle to stop your bub coming into contact with germs :)
I got given one for Xmas & have only used it once so far. I will only wash it every now and then. I still found that parts of the trolley were exposed & bubs was quick to put his hands on those bits.
Ah, ok, i get it now. Oh dear, i think DD got most of her immune system off of trolleys and floors at supermarkets ROFL!

I bought one for my last and I wish I had had one all along.. I haven't washed mine hadn't even thought about it really. It only gets used occasionally.. Maybe once a month.. sometimes more.. Just depends..
Olivia doesn't eat or drink in it though..
I do I do!! I loooove it!!!! We use it everytime we go shopping. It's so cute and pink and everyone stares at us when we use it LOL Dp will refuse to use it if im not tehre cause he reckons he looks gay! But at least ava doesnt chew on the icky trolleys and she looks cute as hell in her "pimped out" trolley. I tend to wash mine after we go shopping cause it's still been on the gross trolley lol but maybe thats me and im just completely anal
I had a Clean shopper for DS and it was great, heaps of people stopped me to ask where I got it form, luckily our local chemist imports them from the US.
Yes, I have one and love it!! I actually use it more than the pram!! I have a babybanz trooleysnug. It actually also converts to fit on the baby capsule part of trolleys also. Although, I had a normal capsule and never needed it for that - but a good idea though!! Def worth the $50 I paid!!!
Bx- I actually use it more for comfort than germs... those metal trolley seats look very uncomfortable for little legs and bums...
Wow, I never really thought about it. I have had it for a few months and only washed it when it needed it i.e. when there is bikkie or avocado sandwich smeared all over it or something. I dont mind the germ factor too much - good for their little immune systems.
Hehe I never thought about it either - only once it's dirty really. I love my trolley cover - it personalises the shopping experience and it makes me feel better that DS is comfy and clean (apart from all the biscuit he smears all over his face!!)
Ooh, it's here.. YAY. It's so cute! Can't wait to use it. :dance:

I had a clean shopper for Zander, but wish I had seen trolley monsters before I got it, cos they are so cool, thinking of replacing ours with a trolley monster for Juliette. Anyway to the question at hand, I washed it when it got dirty, maybe every 4-5 uses.
I bought a pink clean shopper for DD (thought it was red when I bought it) & it stayed in its box... not once used. I recently found it & thought, great, its still new, I'll use it for DS, pulled it out & its hot PINK with polka dots!! Would have been awesome for DD but now it looks like poor DS will be mistaken for a girl everytime we shop once I start using it (hes not sitting up yet)
Poor little guy!
We have a Clean Shopper. We only really wash it when it gets grubby.
OMG the trolley monster is so cool. Much better than the cheapie one I got from spotlight. I thought mine was good until I saw them. So jealous now Nic!!
I don't have one but really want to get one. They are a bit expensive on my budget though and DH thinks it's a stupid idea (typical). I just get my hand sanitiser out and wipe her hands after being in the trolley.
I need one. I don't have one. Where can I get one? Any chance online also?
You can google for their website or they also sell on ebay :):
those in brisbane, qld...there is an awesome lady who sells them on ebay. i got mine from there and so did my other friend. they are great and only $35. i have a pink one with butterflies. i originally didn't have one for a few months but DD loves it now so i am glad i got it, she can rest toys/food on the top of it and it's quite padded so really comfy for her ;)
i need to wash mine, haven't yet and she has used it about 10 times!
Yes- I have one. They are great- more for comfort than anything. I'm not that concerned about the germ factor- there are germs in the air, and it is the exposure to these things which build their immune system anyways...
So far I have used it 3 times and it is yet to be washed. Great for holding things like water bottles etc next to them too.
yes i too am not concerned about germ factor either! they need germs
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 :)
I always used a blanket in the trolley before I got my cover.. I know kids need to be exposed to germs and if you take one look inside my house they get plenty :lol: but seriously though apart from germs it is more comfortable.
I got mine from ebay.. $40 (including postage) Mine is a pink camo one..

So can a Clean Shopper be used in the capsule? They are the only brand (Trolley Snug/Trolley Mate/Trolley Monster) that has a design I like, *sigh* ;)
I don't think a Clean Shopper would fit too well in a capsule. You may be able to make it fit around it, but you probably wouldn't be able to slot the straps through. I used to just use a baby blanket inside the capsule.
Nah the clean shopper doesn't really work on the capsule, I tried it a few ways & couldn't get it to work. I was thinking of getting a capsule one, but decided seeing as they are in the capsule trolley for such a short period of time I would just cover it with a blanket. Juliette at 8 months went into a normal trolley just the other day for the first time & will be in one when we go shopping until she's at least two & walking confidentally.
BTW I just found "No More Nasties" and they look just like Trolley Monsters, but cheaper. Thinking thinking.... Our Clean Shopper is getting a bit shabby.
Hmm, thanks Trish and Sarah. When DS was really small I would just put a muslin wrap in the capsule, plus I wasn't really confident shopping very often with a tiny baby back then so he only went in a few times. Next time I'm planning on buying a sling so if I went shopping I'd have DS in the trolley and new bubba in the sling.
Not really sure why I am rambling on about this.....! I think I'll get the Clean Shopper in the Chocolate Swirl pattern, mmm, dreamy!!
And no, not pregnant!
I've seen ones called a Trolley mate
LOL - same here! I have very healthy kids and I attribute it all to them sucking on the trolley handle! hahaha.:
Shoegal, have you tried him in the regular trolley yet? If he's sitting up on his own he should be fine to go in it now ;)
