ABSTRACT:
A reusable sanitary cover for a conventional shopping cart handle, to protect shoppers and their infants or small children from the germ-laden surface thereof. In the preferred embodiment, the cover comprises a flexible sheet of washable material that is shaped into a cylinder that securely fits a shopping cart handle. A slit allows a customer to press the cover onto the handle. The material used for the sheet promotes a child's safe, sanitary teething or oral contact with the cover. Also, the cover incorporates amusing distractive features to occupy infants and children while the parent or adult shops. An alternative embodiment of the cover comprises two rectangular transparent sheets of material having snap members that secure the cover onto the handle during use and defining a hermetic, watertight enclosure that contains a volume of transparent fluid, preferably purified water. Glitter particles and novelty-shaped pieces of brightly-colored foil or sheet plastic are suspended in the fluid, and are visible through it and the transparent material of sheets, providing another amusing distraction for the infant or small child seated in the shopping cart.
