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.

Described is a shopping cart basket for affixing to a shopping cart. The shopping cart basket can be used to carry tools, accessories, or other items that an individual wants to carry with, but keep separate from, items in the shopping cart. The shopping cart basket includes a basket body with a pair of hooks on arms that hook the shopping cart basket to the shopping cart. The shopping cart basket can be hung from many different locations on a shopping cart, including the front or back, the sides, the inside, or the outside. The shopping cart basket can be hung from any type of shopping cart, including basket types of shopping carts or flatbed carts. The shopping cart basket includes elements that hold and secure tools commonly used by employees performing tasks with a shopping cart.

A flatbed shopping cart is disclosed that has a frame, a plurality of casters positioned below the frame, a handle, and a tray. The frame may form an outer perimeter of the cart, where the frame has a first side portion, a second side portion, and a central front portion. The frame may further have a first end on the first side portion and a second end on the second side portion, where the first side portion extends from the first end downward and backward along a curved surface before moving forward toward the central front portion, such that the first end of the first side portion is located forward of a connection point of a rear caster, and a portion of the first side portion extends rearward beyond the connection point of the rear caster before curving forward toward the central front portion. The tray may have a nonsymmetrical elongated hexagon shape.

The shopping cart desk is a portable desk that can be used with a shopping cart. The shopping cart desk can be stored and carried in a ring binder along with shopping coupons, frequent shopper/customer loyalty cards, paper, writing utensils, and other organizational accessories. For use, the shopping cart desk may be removed from the binder and legs may be deployed from within the desk. The desk may then be placed in or near the child seat of a shopping cart to provide a workspace and access to coupons.

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.

Disclosed is a trolley baseplate including a plate body having a head end and a tail end, a first locking mechanism on the plate body adjacent to the head end and a second locking mechanism on the plate body adjacent to the tail end. The second locking mechanism is placed corresponding to the first locking mechanism and the structures of the two locking mechanism are fitting. When front and back trolleys are concatenated, the tail end of the front trolley and the head end of the back trolley can be locked to each other by means of the first locking mechanism and the second locking mechanism. The trolleys with the above structures can be concatenated more conveniently, and are not liable to overturn upon sudden braking or turning, which can effectively shorten the time for the staff to fasten two trolleys together.

A retractable tray is configured to be mounted on the wall of the basket of a shopping cart and includes a tray member that is moveable between a retracted position, where the tray member is located adjacent the wall of the basket, and an extended position, where the tray extends horizontally from the wall into the basket to form a shelf for supporting produce or other goods above the bottom of the basket. The retractable tray may be configured and dimensioned so as to not interfere with nesting of the cart in either the extended or retracted position.

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.
