Securable cover panel for shopping cart

A shopping cart comprising:

• a frame;
• a plurality of wheels coupled to a bottom of the frame;
• a main compartment coupled to the frame, the main compartment defining a front face, a back face opposing the front face, first and second side faces extending between respective side edges of the front face and the back face, and a bottom face extending between lower edges of the first and second side faces between the front face and the back face;
• a secondary compartment that is movable between a collapsed configuration and a deployed configuration and that is disposed at least partially within the main compartment, wherein the secondary compartment comprises:
• a first panel that is pivotable about a first axis to a position that is proximate to the back face when the secondary compartment is in the collapsed configuration, and
• a lower panel that is pivotably coupled at a first end and slidably coupled at a second end so that the lower panel is movable between a collapsed position and a deployed position,
• wherein the first panel, the back face, the lower panel, and portions of the side faces cooperate to define the secondary compartment having a top opening;
• a cover panel that is pivotable about a second axis from a first orientation that is generally parallel to and adjacent to the first panel to a second orientation that covers the top opening of the secondary compartment, wherein the cover panel has an upper surface;
• and
• a latch that is pivotally coupled to the cover panel about a pivotal axis that is perpendicular to the upper surface of the cover panel, wherein, when the cover panel is in the second orientation, the latch is configured to be pivoted from a first position that is in engagement with a retainer and a second position that is not in engagement with the retainer, wherein, when the latch is in engagement with the retainer, the latch inhibits movement of the cover panel from the second orientation.
