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

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.
