Abstract
A shopping cart suitable for storage and conveyance of a conventional capacity of food or other products while also transporting and entertaining at least one child. The shopping cart has at least one storage basket, as well as a body integrally mounted below and forward of the basket. The body simulates a vehicle to provide a relatively easier shopping experience for the guardian and a more enjoyable shopping experience for the child. Additional features include the use of a swing arm to improve passenger safety, and bumpers to protect the cart and body from collision and abrasion.
