A shopping cart seat cushion includes a pillow that has a first side, a second side and a peripheral edge extending between the first and second sides. The pillow is filled with a resiliently compressible material. The first and second sides are each generally rounded. An upper edge, a lower edge and a pair of lateral edges of the pillow are defined. The pillow has a pair of openings extending therethrough. The openings are positioned nearer to the lower edge than the upper edge. The openings are horizontally aligned with each other. A fastening assembly is attached to the pillow for selectively coupling the second side of the pillow to a child seat of a shopping cart. A securing assembly is attached to the pillow for selectively coupling a child to the first side of the pillow.
