There is disclosed a shopping cart placement structure with means for children to ascend the stairway and seat themselves in the child seat of a shopping cart, such structure including a base to rest on the floor, a three sided generally rectangular upright enclosure having one open side for admitting a conventional shopping cart, and a stairway of five steps ascending one side of the enclosure leading to the position of a child's seat in a shopping cart. The stairway has a rail or wall at the outer side and may be entered or exited only from the bottom; a gate at the bottom of the stairway with a spring is self closing; a latch is connected to a cart sensing mechanism so the gate cannot be opened in absence of a shopping cart. Guide tracks at the base of the structure are spaced apart by the normal distance between front wheels of a shopping cart, and a detection mechanism for the shopping cart including a hook is pivotally arranged to engage the front frame of a shopping cart; a remote release means for the hook is operable from a position near the opening to the enclosure.
