An infant seat includes base, front, rear, and side panels. A box-like region provides for the receipt of an infant. The box-like region is enclosed at its lower extent to form a lower periphery and at its upper extent to form an upper periphery. The upper periphery is greater than the lower periphery. A tubular hem is formed in the upper periphery. An elastic band is located within the hem. The upper periphery is rolled over into a scroll-like cross section to preclude an infant within the infant seat from touching the shopping cart. Large apertures are provided in the rear panel for the passage of the legs of an infant within the infant seat. Small vertical slits are provided in the front panel for the passage of the seat belt. The seat belt provides for the removable retention of an infant within the infant seat.

A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 2 including a drive nut threadingly engaged with said lead screw for moving therealong when said lead screw is rotating, said drive nut engagable with said articulated bracket to force the liftgate between the open and closed positions. 4. A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 3 including a nut switch located along said elongated bracket, said nut switch identifying a position of said drive nut. 5. A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 4 including a glide extending between said slide and said elongated bracket to facilitate said slide as the slide moves along said elongated bracket. 6. A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 5 including a control circuit that controls said motor to drive said drive nut to said nut switch after said slide reaches one of said first and second ends of said elongated bracket. 7. A power liftgate assembly for moving a liftgate between an open position and a closed position with respect to a motor vehicle having a roof, said power liftgate assembly comprising: an elongated bracket fixedly secured to the roof of the motor vehicle, said elongated bracket extending between first and second ends; a motor fixedly secured to said elongated bracket, said motor generating a force; a slide operatively engaged with said motor for moving along said elongated bracket; an articulated bracket connected to said slide for moving with said slide, said articulated bracket including a slot extending therealong providing lost motion between said articulated bracket and said slide allowing manual operation of the liftgate; a drive unit operatively connected with said motor for receiving said force thereof and for moving said slide along said elongated bracket; and an arcuate bracket extending between said articulated bracket and the liftgate for receiving movement of said articulated bracket and moving the liftgate in response thereto upon energizing said motor. 8. A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 7 including a lead screw operatively connected between said motor and said drive unit for translating rotational motion of said motor into an axial motion of said drive unit. 9. A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 8 wherein said drive unit includes a drive nut threadingly engaged with said lead screw. 10. A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 9 including a nut switch located along said elongated bracket, said nut switch identifying a position of said drive nut. 11. A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 10 including a glide extending between said slide and said elongated bracket to facilitate said slide as the slide moves along said elongated bracket. 12. A power liftgate assembly as set forth in claim 11 including a control circuit that controls said motor to drive said drive nut to said nut switch after said slide reaches one of said first and second ends of said elongated bracket. 13. A method for operating a power liftgate assembly for a liftgate of a motor vehicle including a motor, a lead screw driven thereby, a drive nut, a nut switch, an elongated bracket having first and second ends, an articulated bracket having a slot and an arcuate bracket, the method comprising the steps of: energizing the motor to generate a rotational force in one direction; rotating the lead screw; moving the drive nut axially along the lead screw in response to the lead screw rotating; moving the articulated bracket and the arcuate bracket to force the liftgate to move using the drive nut; identifying when the drive nut reaches one of the first and second ends of the elongated bracket; reversing the motor to generate a rotational force in an opposite direction to move the drive nut away from the one of the first and second ends; and stopping the drive nut at a position alon
