Best One I've Found So Far
Best One I've Tried So Far
I had just been using a cart seat cover made by Jeep, it was way too "fluffy", had too much material, hard to figure out what end was what. This was our replacement in an attempt to salvage our sanity.
Pros:
1. Elastic lined, very obvious what side is up versus down, what end goes to the front of the cart versus the back. Believe it or not, this is not always so obvious on other brands! The last thing you want to be doing in a Target Parking Lot is holding a skwaking baby with one hand and flapping a cover around in the other trying to "origami" the cover to fit on the cart!
2. Side attachements are velcro, not string tie. That right, I was dealing with a cover requiring STRING TIES to secure. As if I'm not already spending enough time putting the cover on, I don't need to tie it in place on top of that! This Infantino cover has velcro swatches on the sides, you can Press together to clamp the sides in place, or if you are pressed for time, don't worry about it, I've not noticed any shifting or safety issues leaving the velcro unclamped, but I don't have a very squirmy baby.
3. If you get Poop on the brown cover it's all good. Just kidding, no one has ever pooped on my cover. Or have they?
4. Fabric loops for additional toys. Very nice. But my baby's favorite thing to do in this seat is play with the orange ring that comes with the cover, all the toys I bring are chopped liver in comparison and are jetisoned from the cart. All I can think of is the "novelty" of the orange ring facinates her, she only sees it when she's in the cover.
Cons:
There is only one con, and since I have this problem with every seat cover, I won't deduct a star.
I wish, WISH someone would think of putting hand slits on the part of the cover that goes over the push bar of a shopping cart, so you could really wrap your hands around that bar and shop away with good control. Maybe it's just me.
----Just a Note---
This is how I use the lap belt. Put the lap belt through one opening of the cover, string it around the back, around a few metal wires of the cart seat, then back in through the other opening in the cover. This secures your baby to the frame of the shopping cart, not just to the fabric seat. I would highly recommend this. Please do not secure your child ONLY TO THE FABRIC COVER with the lap belt, I have seen a child launch themselves forward and almost come out of the cart head first taking the fabric cover with them. (This is a general statement about covers, not specific to just Infantino).
