Structural foam partitions

A shopping cart having a basket mounted on a wheeled base. The basket comprises a main body member which is molded in one piece from plastics material and defines the bottom, front and side walls of the basket. A one-piece gate molded of plastics material is hingedly mounted on the body member and comprises the rear wall of the basket. The gate includes an integral handle which extends between and is rotatably supported on the side walls for both hingedly mounting the gate and for structurally connecting the side walls together. A collapsible baby seat assembly, which is preferably formed of plastics material in a single molding operation, is hingedly and slidably supported on the gate for movement between collapsed and non-collapsed positions. The base is also formed by a one-piece frame which is molded from plastics material, which frame has wheels mounted thereon for rolling engagement with a support surface. The frame and body member have a cooperating tongue-and-groove connection for fixedly mounting the basket onto the base.
