Shopping cart
A cart includes a chassis and attached wheels; an upper basket attached to the chassis; and a lower basket attached to the chassis. In some embodiments, the cart includes no widthwise push bar in a rear of the cart such that access is unobstructed to the upper and lower baskets from the rear of the cart by a person. In some embodiments, the chassis defines on each lateral side of the cart a pair of vertically spaced handles, each handle surrounding and defining an opening. The handles preferably include handle bars shaped in an oval. On each cart side a curved elongate member extends between and connects the handles, and the curved elongate members represent the rearmost part of the cart. The rear area of the upper basket defines a seat for an infant, and a rear ledge of the lower basket defines a seat for a toddler.
Securable cover panel for shopping cart
A lockable cover panel for a shopping cart and a shopping cart comprising the same is disclosed. The shopping cart can comprise a frame, a plurality of wheels, and a main compartment. The shopping cart can further comprise a collapsible secondary compartment comprising a first panel and a lower panel and defining a top opening.

LABEL HOLDER FOR CARTS
A label holder for a cart is herein disclosed. The cart includes a cart frame, a cart hanging hook supported by the cart frame, and a slotted bar supported by the cart frame. The label holder includes a main body and an orientation block. The main body includes a front end, a rear end, and dividing walls. The dividing walls each define a label slot which is designed to receive a label spool. Each dividing wall defines a hanger hole through which the cart hanging hook passes. The orientation block projects rearwardly from the rear end of the main body and engages the slotted bar of the cart, in use.
Adjustable tray assembly
An adjustable tray assembly is configured to span a distance between the handle of a shopping cart to the backrest of the seat area. The assembly is adjustable to different sizes of shopping carts by utilizing an attachment member within a tray portion at the handle that can be located in different positions, and by permitting the pivoting of an arm portion of the assembly. The pivoting nature of the arm portion allows the arm portion to adjust to the different depth of the seat areas and type of cart. A latch is used to secure the arm portion to the backrest of the seat area. A hollowed area is formed in the arm portion for a child to use the seat area.
WAGON WITH FOOTWELL AND HANDLE
Consumer wagons are provided for carrying seated children and/or household cargo. In some embodiments, the wagons have a footwell for children carried in the wagon to place/rest their feet, and the footwell is repositionable between use position lowered relative to the wagon base and a collapsed/storage position closer to the wagon base. And in some embodiments, the wagons have a pull-handle that can be moved between different positions and that is lockable in multiple of the different positions.
SMART SHOPPING DEVICE AND SYSTEM
Provided herein are aspects of a shopping device and system. In one embodiment, a shopping device includes a weight measurement device configured to weigh products placed thereon; a product interface configured to receive product identifiers; and a controller configured to communicate with a remote database and determine that a product identifier received by the product interface corresponds to a first product placed on the weight measurement device, determine a cost of the first product placed on the weight measurement device, and calculate a cumulative weight and cumulative cost of the first product with one or more products placed on the weight measurement device. Embodiments of a shopping system may also include a product carrying device and a user interface, wherein the user interface may include a visual display, an input interface, and a payment interface.
