I'm trying to load the simple products that have been added to a customer's cart, but when I retrieve the items, it's showing the parent configurable.

$cart = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/cart');
$productIds = array();

foreach ($cart->getQuote()->getAllVisibleItems() as $item) {
    $productIds[] = $item->getProduct()->getId();
}

var_dump($productIds);

For instance, this will return all the same configurable id when I've added a small, medium, and large to my cart. How can I get the individual simple products? I'm trying to retrieve an attribute value that's set on the simple product level.
