A safety device in connection with a child seat in a shopper trolley. The safety device prevents a child, placed on the seat ( 22 ) from being able to pull its legs out of the openings formed through the end wall ( 10 ) of the shopper trolley. The child seat ( 22 ) is pivotally suspended from the end wall ( 10 ), which can preferably be swung inwards/upwards in the shopper trolley about a horizontal axis, when shopper trolleys are being stacked horizontally. The child seat ( 22 ) is placed adjacent to the through opening ( 14′, 14″ ) for the child's legs. At their bottoms and sides the openings are defined by elements ( 10′, 10″, 16′, 16″, 20 ) included in the end wall ( 10 ). To the openings ( 14′, 14″ ) for the child's legals through the end wall ( 10 ) there is arranged an above-lying safety element ( 24 ), adjustable heightways, which is included in the safety device, and can restrict the openings ( 14′, 14″ ) when being lowered, after the child's legs have been put through the openings ( 14′, 14″ ) and are outside the shopper trolley, to the rear of the end wall ( 10 ). The stationary part ( 28 ) of the height-adjusting device of the safety element ( 24 ) may carry, at its top, an angled or bent plate-like support ( 52 ), known in itself, for information/advertisements etc.

1. A device for a child seat in a shopping cart, comprising:the child seat being suspended from a hinged side wall operable to pivot into/up in the shopping cart when stacked horizontally;the child seat having openings suitable for receiving a child's legs therethrough;an over-lying safety element arranged in an area of the openings for restricting the openings when lowered; andthe safety element being selectively adjustable heightways and releasably fixed in a set height position. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein the safety element has a shape resembling a clothes hanger consisting of a middle main body essentially transversal, which merges through downward concave intermediate portions into downward end portions. 3. The device according to claim 1, further comprising:a plate-like information-carrier connected to the side wall of the shopping cart;a main element sloping from the information-carrier top rearwards;a plate section sloping forward from the main element and being connected to a carrying section;the main element and plate section configured and positioned in such a manner that upon being pivoted as the side wall pivots when two or more shopping carts are stacked into a horizontal row, the main element rests on or above a transversal handle of the shopping cart. 4. The device according to claim 3, further comprising a stationary part coupled to the safety element, the stationary part being connected to the carrying section of the information-carrier. 5. The device according to claim 3, wherein the stationary part further comprises at least an essentially vertical rack coupled to the safety element through a slide or carriage displaceable in a vertical direction between an upper, idle stand-by position, in which the safety element does not restrict said through openings heightways, and several active positions below;the slide being formed with at least one projection arranged to engage, in one position of the slide/safety element in a longitudinal direction of the shopping cart, a notch of the rack, whereas in another position of the slide/safety element in the longitudinal direction of the shopping cart projection is pushed sideways out of engagement, whereby the slide/safety element may be freely displaced up or down essentially in a vertical direction. 6. The device according to claim 5, wherein the slide with the safety element is spring-biased towards a non-displaceable position, in which the at least one projection of the slide is engaged in the notch of the rack. 7. The device according to claim 6, further comprising:a pair of racks with an intermediate guide groove for the at least one projection of the slide; andthe slide, the safety element and a spring cooperate to retain the slide in a position conditioned by the at least one projection being engaged in the notch of the rack. 8. The device according to claim 7, wherein the safety element is a U-shaped clamp with a horizontally elongate vertical slot therethrough, which extends over more than half the width of the U-shaped clamp, it being possible for said U-shaped clamp to be passed over/clamped onto end wall elements of the shopping cart. 9. The device according to claim 7, wherein:each pair of racks has two parallel projections to be engaged in one rack each; andthe notches each have a length essentially corresponding to the corresponding width of the intermediate guide groove again corresponding to the distance of displacement of the slide perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the racks. 10. The device according to claim 8, wherein:each pair of racks has two parallel projections to be engaged in one rack each; andthe notches each have a length essentially corresponding to the corresponding width of the intermediate guide groove, again corresponding to the distance of displacement of the slide perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction of the racks.
