A magnetic buckling assembly includes a male buckling component, a female buckling component, a first locking portion, a second locking portion, an operating component, a first magnetic component and a second magnetic component. The first magnetic component magnetically attracts or magnetically repulses the second magnetic component during a connecting process of the male buckling component and the female buckling component along a connecting direction. The first magnetic component magnetically attracts the second magnetic component for preventing separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component or magnetically repulses the second magnetic component for promoting the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component when the operating component is operated to disengage the first locking portion from the second locking portion for allowing the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component.

There is disclosed a multiple child shopping cart extension for attachment to a shopping cart frame. The multiple child shopping cart extension may be used to make an extended shopping cart, for carrying additional children in a shopping cart, both standing and sitting. The multiple child shopping cart extension preferably comprises a frame structure and a plurality of frame securing elements, for securing said multiple child shopping cart extension to said shopping cart frame. The frame structure preferably comprises a base unit and two side rail portions, affixed at opposing sides of the base unit at a bottom end of said frame structure. The multiple child shopping cart extension may also have a seat unit and a safety strap.

A versatile cover is described which can be secured onto a shopping cart, high chair, stroller or other similar seating apparatus. The cover is rollable into a low profile, shape with a handle, and can be unrolled to fit within a seat basket of a shopping cart or high chair.

A supportive cushion and restraint for an infant or young child in a shopping cart seat which includes an upper cushioned body that provides torso and back support by including a rigid plastic sheet insert located posterior and parallel to compressed polyester padding; and is hinged at a horizontal seam to a lower cushioned body (the seat portion), which encloses compressed polyester padding; a wide belt that secures by hook and loop type fasteners and extends from the upper cushioned body, wrapping forward around the torso, securing the child in place and adjusting to most girths; the upper and lower cushioned bodies are enclosed in the same durable fabric as the wide belt; two pairs of heavy duty strap-and-buckle units extend from the upper cushioned body, providing the means to secure the upper cushioned body to the shopping cart basket, and ensuring proper support and comfortable restraint of the child.

The invention is a quick connect car-seat/stroller restraint system that includes a torso clothing element with a fastening means that is loosely holding a pair of adjustable sectional restraint elements made of a restraint strap, and having tensioning elements. One tensioning element is an opposing upper horizontal pair of connectors that pull the restraint strap toward a frontal centerline. A second tensioning element is a set of lap tensioning elements that connect to a lap twin slotted buckle. A third tensioning element is a plurality of quick connecting tensioning elements. Each of the pair of the adjustable sectional restraint elements has two end portions, and each end portion has a quick connecting, fastening element that can be fastened to a receiving tensioning g element in a car-seat/stroller. When connected the sectional restraint elements are slightly tensioned, limiting the movement of an individual wearing the torso clothing element.

A magnetic buckling assembly includes a male buckling component, a female buckling component, a first locking portion, a second locking portion, an operating component, a first magnetic component, a second magnetic component and a clearance structure. The first magnetic component magnetically attracts the second magnetic component for preventing separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component or magnetically repulses the second magnetic component for promoting the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component when the operating component is operated to disengage the first locking portion from the second locking portion for allowing the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component. The clearance structure allows the second locking portion to slide an offsetting position for preventing the separation of the male buckling component and the female buckling component after engagement of the first locking portion and the second locking portion.

A safety apparatus for an infant carrier is described that connects to an infant carrier and a shopping cart. The safety apparatus includes a first bar, a second bar and a third bar. The first bar includes a first end portion with a first connector and an opposed second end portion with a second connector. The first connector and second connector are configured to fasten together and unfasten from one another. When the connectors of the first bar are fastened together, the first bar defines a continuous loop. The second bar includes a first end portion that connects to the first bar and a second end portion that includes a third connector. The third bar has the same structure as the second bar. The first bar connects to an infant carrier. The second bar and third bar connect to a shopping cart.

In one aspect, the instant disclosure provides a cart including a push handle moveable from a first position to a second position; and a chair which further includes (i) a seat facing the push handle, the seat further comprising an abduction block; (ii) a safety belt; (iii) a backrest extending upwardly from the seat; and (iv) a foot rest and one or more wheels. In another aspect, a shopping cart suitable for carrying a special needs rider is provided including a generally rectangular cargo basket, four swiveling wheels, a chair further comprising: a rearwardly facing seat further comprising an abduction block, said seat inclined at approximately a five degree angle from a horizontal axis downwardly toward a backrest, which backrest extends generally upward from the seat and is reclined at approximately a five degree angle from a vertical axis, a five point restraint safety belt and a foot rest positioned to support the rider's feet when positioned in the seat; one or more push handle moveable from a first position to a second position by pivoting around a roughly horizontal axis; and two load bearing wheels positioned substantially in the same vertical plane as the rider.

A shopping cart child safety lock system. It includes a support post locked to a shopping cart with slideable and lockable yoke to restrain and then release a child's thighs.
