The hooks are positioned at terminal ends of a rectangular U-shape arm that is attached to a telescoping arm. The U-shape arm is configured to be adjustable in width and the telescoping arm adjusts the height of the standing or level platform device. In use, a child stands on a top surface, and the wheels of the device track the movements of the wheels of the shopping cart thereby enabling the child to ride along with the wheeled cart without walking or without sitting in the wheeled shopping cart.
