No , never - and for me, it's not even about the germs, but the dirt!

not only could the hands go in the mouth. the hands could go in the eye too and maybe get pink eye.

Re: Do you let your infant crawl in public places?

No-1st because I don't want my kids to know that is even an option. I want them to think that they can only go out in the stroller. At this age-I cannot have them both loose and unrestrained. They think its funny when I say no and don't understand danger so I could never. Totally not safe IMO. That is much more a concern to me than germs

Re: Do you let your infant crawl in public places?

No, just because Ryan constantly had his hands in his mouth and there was no way I'd be able to keep them "clean".

We're not at that stage yet, but I don't think I could ever let her crawl in a public place. Just the thought of it..Chat Icon. I don't even like touching the shopping carts Chat Icon!

Same here!

I'll ususally bring something to distract her in case of a freak out... (i.e., her sippy, or a snack) that usually buys me just enough time to do what I need to do and get out.

Okay I'm a total germaphobe but no definitely not a place like a store but I have let my DD cruise and crawl at once upon a treetop in the play area and at the playground near the baby climbing structure on mats. I make sure she doesn't touch her face or eyes and I wipe/clean her hands immediately when I picked her up. But aside from those places no.

I would never let DS crawl in a public place like Babies R'Us...that's skeeves me out Chat Icon



I almost had no choice. I guess I always have a choice but I was alone and DS was screaming to get out of his stroller and he was screaming to get down when I was holding him in my arms. He was very happy once he was on the floor. Chat Icon



No way would I ever let DS crawl on a public floor. It totally skeeves me. But I totally understand the situation, and sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Just clean him really good! Chat Icon
