Do I need a high chair cover for when we go to restaurants?

FTM, baby has mastered sitting up well enough that he can use a high chair when we're at a restaurant. I'm not a germ-a-phobe and my baby isn't a big "mouther", but the high chair grossed me out. I wiped it down with a wipe (which I'm sure did nothing). I'm not even bothered by shopping carts and don't feel the need to cover those.
Do you use a cover on high chairs at a restaurant? Avoid using them? Wipe them down? Or let it go? |

| I never used a highchair cover. I did buy some disposable place mats that stick to the table or highchair tray so that DCs' food could go directly on the table/tray rather than on a plate. |

| I have four kids and have never even heard of a high chair cover. None of my kids are dying. |

| High chairs are seriously nasty, but if that bothers you, it's easier to keep a pack of disinfecting wipes instead (or just use baby wipes). I always felt like the cover needed washing after using it once, which was annoying. I did have a little suction cup mat for eating off the table before he could be trusted with a plate. |

I never used one and generally just put food down on the table. It's probably gross, but such are kids.
Knock on wood they've stayed pretty health despite it all. |

| I used one of those portable high chairs that hook on to the table when we went to restaurants. |

| Never used one. With my older child I wiped it down with a disinfecting wipe. With my second I didn't bother. Both are healthy! |

No. Minimalist life, OP, try it. |
