The handles are used in pairs, with each handle having a generally vertical or upwardly directed telescopically extendable upper tubular member extendable from a lower tubular member, rigidly attachable to a structural supporting member on the shopping cart. This upper tubular member is topped with a horizontal tube that extends over the back of the cart and also in an outwardly direction past the back of the cart so as to serve as an armrest or handrest for the user as the user walks along behind the cart, pushing the cart while shopping. The user can lean on the handles to ease his or her weight on his or her knees, legs, ankles, and back, to make use of the cart and shopping less tiresome.
