Shopping cart having an integrated dual child seat

A shopping cart comprising:

• a basket;
• a gate pivotally coupled with said main basket, said gate having a front panel and a back panel, said back panel pivotally coupled with said front panel, said gate having an open position;
• a first child support panel extending between said front panel and said back panel such that when said gate is in said open position said first child support panel, said front panel and said back panel form a first child seat;
• a second child support panel extending between said front panel and said back panel such that when said gate is in said open position said second child support panel, said front panel and said back panel form a second child seat;
• and
• a frame assembly disposed generally below said basket for supporting said basket, the frame assembly comprising:
• a pair of longitudinal frame rails having front ends generally disposed beneath the front wall of the basket and rear ends generally disposed beneath the rear wall of the basket;
• a pair of transverse frame rails respectively extending between the front ends of the longitudinal frame rails and the rear ends of the longitudinal frame rails;
• a pair of upwardly extending axle tabs securably disposed upon the pair of longitudinal frame rails such that one of the pair of axle tab is proximate the front end of each of the longitudinal frame rails;
• an axle extending generally between the axle tabs and above the front end of the longitudinal frame rails;
• a pair of front wheels rotatably disposed on opposite ends of the axle such that the axis of rotation of the front wheels is above the front end of the longitudinal frame rails;
• a pair of fully rotatable casters downwardly extending from and securably disposed beneath the pair of longitudinal frame rails such that one of the pair of fully rotatable casters is proximate the rear end of each of the longitudinal frame rails;
• and
• a pair of rear wheels each rotatably mounted within one of the fully rotatable casters such that the axis of rotation of the rear wheels is below the rear end of the longitudinal frame rails and above the front end of the longitudinal frame rails;
• whereby the weight of the frame assembly is generally below the axes of rotation of the front wheels and the rear wheels thereby providing a low center of gravity for the shopping cart and increasing the roll resistance of the shopping cart.
