Shopping cart with child carrier apparatus having a b-pillar restraint region

摘要

A shopping cart with child carrying apparatus suitable for storage and conveyance of a conventional capacity of food or other products can also transport and entertain at least one child. The shopping cart has at least one storage basket, as well as a child carrier coupled forward and external of the basket. The child carrier simulates a vehicle to provide a relatively easier shopping experience for the guardian and a more enjoyable shopping experience for the child. The child carrying apparatus includes a doorway having a B-pillar restraint region that restrains the child occupant from leaning out from the child carrying apparatus, while simultaneously providing a substantially unobstructed view sideways from the child carrying apparatus.
