A shopping cart including a basket and a basket support frame on which the basket is mounted. The basket support frame includes a base frame mounte d on a pair of rear wheel assemblies and a pair of front wheel assemblies. The base frame has a front framing member defining the front end of the base frame an d two side framing members, the front framing member forming a corner with eac h side framing member. The basket support frame further includes a mounting plate associated with each front wheel assembly to securely mount the same onto a respective corner of the base frame, each mounting plate having one side secured to the front framing member of the base frame and another side secured to th e corresponding side framing member. These plates enable the front wheel assemblies to be securely, easily and inexpensively mounted to the base fram e of the shopping cart. Furthermore, the wheeled base frame of the shopping cart is inherently more stable and designed so as to substantially decrease the risk of tip overs, thereby providing a safer shopping cart.
