  • Patent number: 6364325
    Abstract: A shopping cart is provided with an undercarriage frame mounted upon wheels. The frame supports a basket and at least two seating sections for children. The seating sections are aligned such that both children, when seated, face backward and are positioned in line with one another. Each seating section is mounted upon an end wall, one of which is located at the rear of the cart and the second of which is located at an intermediate point along the cart proximate the rear end. Each seating section is formed with collapsible bottom and back member. When collapsed, the shopping cart affords primary and secondary basket regions with the secondary region located below the rearmost seat and serving the dual purpose of a leg area for the forwardmost child. In the first embodiment, both end walls are pivotally mounted to the basket and rotatable upward to allow multiple carts to be interconnected.
