Shopping carts, also known as trolleys, trundlers, wagons, and baskets, are utilized by customers in shops, particularly supermarkets, to transport merchandise from the aisles to the check-out counter during shopping. Customers can then use the carts to transport their purchased goods to their cars. In many places in the United States, customers are allowed to leave the carts in the parking lot for store personnel to return them to storage. However, in European and Canadian premises, coin-operated or token-locked mechanisms are provided to encourage shoppers to return the carts to their designated locations after use. Modern shopping carts are predominantly made of metal or a combination of metal and plastic, designed for easy nesting within each other and space-saving storage. They come in various sizes, including some that can accommodate children. Specialized carts designed for two children and electric mobility scooters with baskets cater to disabled customers. However, approximately 24,000 children are injured annually in shopping carts in the United States. To address this issue, some stores offer child-carrying carts equipped with safety features like seat belts and lowered seating. Shopping carts typically have four wheels, with swivel wheels at the front in the US and four swivel wheels in Europe. As an alternative, customers can opt for small hand-held shopping baskets. Small shops often provide only baskets or smaller carts that accommodate a removable shopping basket within the frame.
