    Question Shopping trolley covers?

    **Mods: wasnt sure where to put this, feel free to move**

    Was just wondering if anyone had a suggestion on what trolley cover they think is best? and if its even worth getting one?
    My main reason for gettiongone is because of the germs on the trolleys, and i guess for bubs comfort too!
    I dont want anything fancy, just a standard trolley cover, where abouts would i find one? lol
    Thanks for your help xx

    google Trolley Monster - they have much better fabrics than the Trolley Mate brand.

    I've got one for DD, not that we often use a trolley when we go shopping as I walk there with the pram. But I love mine, I think mine is a Trolley Mate one, which is much cheaper than the Trolley Monster brand (they have a facebook group). The padding is probably a little thinner than the trolley monster ones but it does the job, especially if you can't afford the $70 odd for a trolley monster. DD's was a gift from my mum, I'm pretty sure you can get them from Target, or a specialty baby store.

    I got mine form ebay from a work-at-homer, as I didnt like the colours of the big w ones and the other brands we too expensive.I am very very happy with the one i got, I actually got it more for comfort than germs for DD as she wanted to sit up but was so little and it actually helped her sit up better. I am constantly stopped by people asking where to get them and how much of a good idea they are.
    Definantly a good investment, I just keep it in the car.
    Let me know if you want the name of the ebay lady.

    I got ours from Spotlight for around $20 (I think). Can't remember the brand name though. We don't use it much mainly because I try to avoid shopping with DS in tow at the moment.

    I have a Trolley Monster for DS. I think i bought if off her ebay store. If you have a look for her on ebay, and her website, you might be able to find them on sale. When I purchased DS's, she had a few girly ones on sale. That was about 12 months ago though.

    I have a trolley monster, it was more expensive that the ones you can get at Toys R Us or Spotlight but I love the bag that hangs in the back as I can put my DS water bottle and my purse etc in there without the need to bring a bag along. Plus it has a 'hook' inside for my car keys so DS can't throw them on the floor!

    I got the one from Spotlight and love it. I got it for Oskar but didn't use it too much at all, but I've found I do use it a lot for Elijah cos it's so much easier to pop them both into a trolley together (more for my sanity lol). The thing with Elijah also is he's a "mouth" type of kid... and I caught him the other day trying to eat the trolley!!! So, I'm glad I have one now that's for sure.

    Lol DD did that today! Bent right down, i think she was trying to bite my hands but ended up with a mouthful of cloth instead...glad she wasn't biting down on the trolley handle though! Of course that was in between pulling all the tags off the shelves
