ABSTRACT:
A shopping cart having a novel locking arrangement for the gate of the upper basket and featuring a baby basket that seats a child below the level of the upper basket for enhanced stability of the cart and economy of storage in the upper basket, as well as to position and face the child towards the mother who is pushing the cart so that the child cannot reach or kick the gate or the groceries in the upper basket. The novel locking arrangement for the gate includes a latch plate having an end restraining shield that provides an abutment stop for limiting the forward movement of the gate unless the gate is manually lifted and opened. The gate has ears which prevent the gate from falling into the interior of the basket, and has at least one pin that engages the end restraining shield. Auxiliary side walls are mounted above the sides of the baby basket to prevent the child from reaching items on the shelves of the store and to protect the child from the corners of shelves and from being accidentally struck by other carts. The rear wall of the upper basket is positioned above the back support of the baby basket to assist in supporting the back of the child. The shopping cart also features side handles extending above the auxiliary side walls for improved maneuverability and for eliminating the conventional crossbar-type handle to remove the possibility of the child bumping his forehead on such a handle.
