Baby Shopping Cart Covers - A Safer Seat For Your Baby

There is a relatively new product that is becoming more and more popular with parents, grandparents and babysitters alike that allow a baby or toddler to be protected from the germs that are on those dreaded grocery store carts - not to mention, they are also cushy so they add comfort for the little ones and also have fun colors and patterns that really attracts their attention.

This clever little invention is not only user friendly, but one-handed user friendly as the maker realizes you will most likely be holding your little one in one arm while you secure the cover with the other. It takes about 10 seconds to throw the cover into place and secures with Velcro straps. Once you have your baby or toddler buckled in the shopping cart cover, you also have the option of using a bottle pocket, toy pocket, multiple loop attachments which allows you to secure small toys and pacifiers so the child cannot throw toys or pacifiers on the dirty store floor.

There are also Double Shopping Cart covers for those who have two small children. They have extra storage and a "mommy pocket" for diapers, wipes, sippy cups etc.

The shopping cart covers are 100% cotton and therefore 100% washable so having more than one is always nice to be able to rotate in and out of the wash so you always have a clean one - it's also fun to have different patterns to play with depending on the child's mood and they can also have fun getting to "pick" which cover they get to bring along. The covers fold easily into a tote or diaper bag for carrying and storage. In addition to fitting into all grocery store shopping carts, these covers can also be used on park swings and on restaurant high chairs. Some models can also be used as car seat covers - which anyone caring for a toddler can appreciate!

I really love that this product is available for our little ones. The most important thing is that it protects them from the germs that are inevitable on grocery carts, swings and public high chairs without this cover , but what I also love is that it's a great gift for baby showers, bar and bat mitzvahs, christenings, birthdays, etc. Some websites offer custom made covers where you can add the baby's name - which is always a nice touch. I'm always on the search for a really nice, unique gift and not only is this one of those products, but this is actually extremely useful - the recipient will really appreciate it - and so will the baby - those grocery cart seats can't be comfortable.

Teach Baby Sign Language and Teach Him to Communicate Before Speech Develops

Research has shown that babies are able to understand so much more than what we used to believe was possible. A baby can understand his world and the environment around him way before he is able to articulate that understanding in words. That is why many people have chosen to teach baby sign language to their baby as a means of communicating with their child before speech actually develops.

Teaching your baby to sign is an easy process. There are many different dvd programs that a parent can purchase to help them with the process. In addition, a parent needs to practice the signs with her baby to ensure that the baby is making the connections between signs and objects or actions.

There are many advantages in the decision to teach baby sign language to your baby. First of all, you can reduce frustration of your baby by giving her the opportunity to communicate her needs to you in a way that you will understand. Many times infants will cry and fuss to no avail while mommy or daddy tries to figure out what is wrong. Wouldn't it be great to know what your child needs without having to guess? For example, if your child is feeling pain, wouldn't you like to know where? Or maybe, you child wants a cracker to eat, wouldn't it be nice for him or her to have a sign to communicate her hunger?

Another good reason to teach baby sign language is to that signing and spoken language can reinforce each other. Some parents may feel that teaching their baby sign language will interfere with him developing the spoken words. However, studies have shown that babies who learn signing at an early age actually have a higher IQ than those who do not.

A final reason why the decision to teach baby sign language is a good one is because it will foster a sense of focus in the child. A child will have to concentrate as well as remember the signs for specific actions or objects. Therefore, he or she is learning and focusing at the same time. This is great, because it is never to early for a child to start learning.
