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 said through openings ( 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 said end wall ( 10 ). To said openings ( 14′, 14 ″) for the child's legs through the end wall ( 10 ) there is arranged an above-lying safety element ( 24 ), adjustable heightways, which is included in said safety device, and can restrict said openings ( 14′, 14 ″) when being lowered, after the child's legs have been put through said openings ( 14′, 14 ″) and are outside the shopper trolley, to the rear of said 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/advertisetnents etc.
