The first item has been identified as Part No. BS.APC.ASSY (Baby Seat Assembly). The Baby Seat Assembly is a molded plastic child seat insert designed for permanent installation in the area located at the front of a shopping cart. The assembly incorporates a seat flap that provides structural support and stability to the seating compartment. The component is specifically engineered for incorporation into a shopping cart and has no practical use apart from its installation as a shopping cart component. The second item has been identified as Part No. GR.APC (Shopping Cart Lower Level). The Shopping Cart Lower Level is a molded plastic platform installed on the bottom portion of a shopping cart. The component contributes to the overall structural integrity and stability of the shopping cart while also providing an additional storage area for larger merchandise. The article is specifically designed and manufactured solely for use as a shopping cart component. The third, and final, item has been identified as Part No. TB.APC (Basket Assembly). The Basket Assembly is a molded plastic part that acts as the main body of a shopping cart. It is designed to hold merchandise selected by customers while shopping. The assembly includes an upper attachment bar that secures the basket structure and provides a finished appearance. The item is specifically designed exclusively as a shopping cart component.
