Abstract: A cushioning device that is placed into a shopping cart after the child is first placed and secured within the cart. The cushion provides sufficient padding to protect the head and upper torso portion of a person/child from the superstructure of the shopping cart in a forward leaning position or a lateral leaning position. Preferably, the resting cushion is constructed to be at least partially self securing within such a transportation device. The cushioning device can also be used, without modification, as a nursing cushion. The enlarged ends of the cushion provide support for the head of a nursing child, while also providing a foot stop to give the child a feeling of security, wherein the level of support is adjustable.

Abstract: A cushioning device that is placed into a shopping cart after the child is first placed and secured within the cart, allowing the child to sit on the normal seating surface of a shopping cart, and providing padding between the front of the child and the shopping cart push bar for the child's comfort when in a resting position in the cart. The cushion provides sufficient padding to protect the head and upper torso portion of a person/child from the superstructure of the shopping cart in a forward leaning position or a lateral leaning position, such as in a sleeping position in which the person's head lies forward over the cart push bar or sideways over the side railings of the cart. Preferably, the resting cushion is constructed to be at least partially self securing within such a transportation device. The cushioning device can also be used, without modification, as a nursing cushion.
