Raise your hand if you’re a parent and you’ve NEVER had your kid decide to lick the handle of the shopping cart when you’re at the grocery store. Hah. Thought so. Licking the shopping cart handle is like a rite of passage. Kids, especially young kids and babies having fun sitting supported in the shopping cart seat for the first time, think it’s a real blast giving the handle at least a lick, if not some whole hearted slobbering.

So, for those of you who feel funny draping a towel over the handle, but feel a bit queasy about exactly what your child might be sucking in, the Healthy Handle comes to the rescue.

“The Healthy Handle is the most practical and convenient way for consumers to protect themselves and others from cross contamination due to germs and other health concerns left on shopping cart handles. Germs and bacteria, flu and cold viruses, e-coli and salmonella are just some of the nasty items found on shopping cart handles.”
