Shopping Cart Cover

Princess Madeline in her first shopping cart cover

After I spent two months in the hospital trying not to have the twins too early, Madeline and Mary-Margaret arrived on September 7, 2002 (10 weeks early). They were so tiny. My husband could hold them in the palm of his hand. The twins were very healthy but small and extremely susceptible to illnesses.

One brave day, after a doctors appt., mom and I ventured out to the store with our two tiny bundles. I saw a woman with a shopping cart cover, I immediately asked where she got it ..."a superstore"...but she said she did not really like it because it did not cover the entire seating area of the shopping cart and her baby could still put his mouth on the cart.

The light bulb immediately went off in my head...I could fix the pattern and the "modified" cover would be perfect for my girls. So mom and I made the pattern and the first shopping cart cover for the girls. Everytime we went out with the twins and used the shopping cart cover we were stopped and asked where did we buy it. So I began to take peoples phone numbers to make covers for them. In the mean time, I had the pattern copywriten to protect my intellectual rights.

I really think that shopping cart covers are a must have for every baby! Why even take the chance of them catching germs and bacteria from those NASTY shopping carts. They work great in high chairs too. Nothing worse than sitting down for a nice meal and having the high chair be sticky and dirty before your child even sits down to eat! Uhg
