Following are some criteria to also consider while choosing the option:

1. Persistence requirement? Do you want to persist the information of cart for multiple log-ins?
2. What is expected load? how many users and cart would be storing at any given point of time?

Following are my suggestions:
1. Modify session to use Sql to store session and keep cart in session.
2. Modify session to out proc with ASPNet Session state service and keep cart data in session.
3. Design sql table schema to store the cart in database not the temp db, I would not suggest to store in tempdb as it would increase DBA activity like require you to increase the tempdb size and, cleanup of temp table would be tricky for you once you loose the session. This is the most tricky implementation and requires lot of coding.

Choose either option 1 or 2 based on the reply of criteria 1 & 2.
