Frictional forces act in the direction opposite to the MOTION. That direction could be the same OR opposite to applied force.
-- If you push a loaded heavy wagon from behind, trying to get it going faster, friction is acting against you, opposite to your force.
-- If you push a loaded rolling heavy wagon from in front, trying to make it slow down, friction is acting with you, in the same direction as your force.
-- Opposite to the motion both times.

Explanation:
1 and 3 are necessary
Every bit of force applied to the bumper will be transmitted to the cart EXCEPT for the force needed to accelerate the bumper. This is the net force on the bumper.
If the bumper was heavy then a significant amount of force might be needed to accelerate the bumper so the amount transmitted to the cart would be substantially reduced.
If the net force on the bumper is small then the amount transmitted to the cart is almost the entire force applied.
