The example stroller also includes a front wheel coupled to the lower frame support, an intermediate wheel having an axis of rotation, and a rear wheel. The intermediate wheel is located between the front wheel and the rear wheel. The intermediate wheel and the rear wheel are coupled to upper frame support via the intermediate frame support. The example stroller also includes a pivot axis, where the intermediate frame support is coupled to the upper frame support about the pivot axis, and the pivot axis is offset above and forward to the axis of rotation.

Maneuverable strollers

Maneuverable strollers are disclosed. An example method for manufacturing a stroller includes mounting a front wheel to a frame; mounting a rear wheel and an intermediate wheel to a connector; and mounting the connector to the frame at a pivot axis such that the intermediate wheel is located between the front wheel and the rear wheel and the pivot axis is located between the rear wheel and the intermediate wheel.

Method for manufacturing maneuverable strollers

Strollers with removable child supports and related methods are disclosed. An example stroller and child support assembly disclosed herein includes a stroller frame comprising a front support, a rear support, and a handle. The example stroller and child support assembly also includes a front wheel coupled to the front support and a rear wheel coupled to the rear support. The example stroller and child support assembly also includes a first joint disposed on a first side of the stroller frame and a second joint disposed on a second side of the stroller frame. The stroller and child support assembly example also includes a child support having a first connector releasably coupled to the first joint and a second connector releasably coupled to the second joint, where the child support is removable from the stroller frame and independently usable as a child carrier.

Strollers with removable child supports and related methods

Maneuverable strollers are disclosed herein. An example stroller disclosed herein includes a frame having a front wheel and rear wheel to support the frame. An intermediate wheel is positioned between the front wheel and the rear wheel. The example stroller includes a support having a first end and a second end, where the first end supports the intermediate wheel and the second end supports the rear wheel. The support to pivotally couple the intermediate wheel and the rear wheel to the frame, the support defining a pivot axis positioned between the intermediate wheel and the rear wheel when the support is pivotally coupled to the frame.

Maneuverable strollers are disclosed herein. An example stroller includes a frame, front wheels and rear wheels to support the frame, and an intermediate wheel between the front wheels and the rear wheels. The intermediate wheel is to provide a pivot point to turn the stroller. The intermediate wheel has a first diameter, the front and rear wheels have respective second and third diameters, where the first diameter is larger than the second diameter and the first diameter is larger than the third diameter.

Car seat carriers are disclosed. An example child car seat carrier includes a frame and a clamp to hold a child car seat to the frame. The clamp includes a ratcheting joint to prevent movement of the clamp toward a released position while enabling movement of the clamp toward a locked position. The example child car seat carrier further includes a manual actuator to selectively release the clamp to move toward the open position.
