Grocery store shopping cart handles have more germs than public restrooms, making them one of the worst public places for germs, according to researchers and you touch them probably two or three times a week, but so do thousands of others.

How germy could shopping carts really be? Very, according to researchers at the University of Arizona who tested all kinds of public surfaces. They found that shopping carts were loaded with more saliva, bacteria and even fecal matter than escalators, public telephones, and even public bathrooms. The only surfaces that had more germs were playground equipment and bus rails.

All car seats (except most second hand seats) come with printed directions. If after reading the directions you still are not sure how to properly install it. You can call or email the manufacturer. Some police stations and hospitals have assistance programsas well.

Yes, there is a correct way in which to secure your child in his car seat. How you secure your baby in the car seat will likely depend on the age and size of your baby.

Check for ease. Before you buy, find out how the cover attaches to the cart–with Velcro, a buckle, or elastic. Since inserting a cart cover while holding your baby will be a challenge, you’ll want to be able to do it quickly with one hand. Some brands claim their covers can be installed in 30 seconds. Read the instructions before you buy. Once you buy the cover, try it out at home so you’ll know exactly what to do in the store. The cover also should be easy to store in your car.

Worried about the time and money you’ll spend changing car seats so many times over the years? Consider investing in a convertible car seat. These are seats that expand according to your child’s age, which would allow them to virtually “grow” with your baby. Convertible seats are basically infant car seats, booster seats and tweenie seats all in one!

Check for coverage. If your main concern is “germ defense,” look for a cart cover that encases the entire seating area–the handlebar, sides, back, and front. Consider comfort. Cleanliness aside, shopping-cart covers can make for a cozy ride. If that’s important to you, look for a deluxe model, which usually has extra cushioning and maybe even an attachable pillow.
