ABSTRACT:
The disclosed invention is a means of transporting personal items such as those commonly taken to do shopping, and storing them in an easily accessible manner to a shopping cart or stroller handle. The device can also include a second side for children riding in the child's seat of a shopping cart, thereby allowing storage for items of entertainment to the child or even a pillow for their comfort during the shopping excursion. The device is comprised of one or more flaps, at least some of the flaps including pockets that are capable of distinctively storing items that would be necessary to a shopper or child, whichever the case may be. The invention includes a pliable portion that is capable of flexing around and fastening to the handle of a shopping cart or stroller and in doing so creating accessible pockets that are exclusive to each the child and the shopper. Lowered openings of the pockets on the user's flap restricts a small child's access to the shopper's items that are not intended for the child to encounter. Cover flaps can also be used to restrict accessibility to some or all pockets by providing a barrier to the child as well as a potential thief yet still providing easy accessibility to the user. The invention can be removably attached to the handle if the shopper brings their own to the store or permanently secured to the handle as would be the case if the invention is provided as an accessory to the cart.
