Foldable strollers with removable seats and related methods are disclosed herein. An example stroller disclosed herein a wheeled frame, a receiver coupled to the frame, and a seat. The seat includes a mount, a lock disposed in the mount; and a handle having an extended positon and a retracted position relative to the seat. The lock is to move from a first position to a second position when the mount is disposed in the receiver to removably couple the seat to the frame, and the lock to move from the second position to the first position to release the seat from the receiver when the handle moves from the retracted position to the extended position.

Foldable strollers with removeable seats and related methods

Maneuverable strollers are disclosed. An example stroller includes a frame that includes an upper frame support, an intermediate frame support, a lower frame support, and a handle coupled to the upper frame support. 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

Strollers with removable seats and related methods are disclosed herein. An example stroller includes a wheeled frame, a receiver coupled to the frame, and a seat. The seat includes a hub, a mount, and a lock disposed in the mount. The lock is to move from a first positon to a second position when the mount is disposed in the receiver to removably couple the seat to the frame. The seat includes a handle and a pin disposed between the handle and the hub. The handle is moveable from a retracted position to an extended position when the pin is in a third position relative to the handle and the lock is to move from the second position to the first position when the handle moves from the retracted position to the extended position.

Strollers with removable seats and related methods

Foldable strollers and related methods are disclosed herein. An example frame for use with a stroller includes a first leg, a second leg, a first joint to couple the first leg and the second leg, a handle arm, and a second joint to couple the handle arm and the first leg. The second joint includes a first portion having a pocket and a second portion including a lock slidably disposed in the second portion. The lock is to be removably coupled to the pocket. The handle arm is to rotate relative to the first leg via the second joint when the lock is removed from the pocket. The rotation of the handle via the second joint is to enable the second leg to rotate relative to the first leg via the first joint to fold the frame.

Foldable strollers and related methods

Foldable strollers and related methods are disclosed herein. An example frame for use with a stroller includes a first leg having a first wheel coupled thereto, a second leg having a second wheel coupled thereto, a first joint to couple the first leg and the second leg, a handle arm, and a second joint to couple the handle arm and the first leg. The handle arm is to rotate relative to the first leg via the second joint. The rotation of the handle via the second joint is to cause the second leg to rotate relative to the first leg via the first joint to fold the frame.

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

A playard having a floor and an upper frame is disclosed. The upper frame includes a first end supported a first distance above the floor, a second end supported a second distance above the floor, and at least two opposed sides. Each of the opposed sides includes a first rail, a second rail, and a joint joining the first and second rails. The joint is positioned in a first plane when the joint secures the first and second rails in an erected position, the first plane being transversely oriented with respect to the floor.

Playards, changing table assemblies, and methods of operating the same

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.

Sit or stand strollers and methods of using and making the same are described herein. An example stroller includes a frame having a first set of mounts and a second set of mounts. The example stroller includes a first seat removably couplable to the frame via either the first set of mounts or the second set of mounts. The stroller also includes an accessory removably couplable to the frame via either the first set of mounts or the second set of mounts, the accessory including a platform to provide a standing surface for a stroller occupant.

Sit or stand strollers and methods of making the same

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.

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. A carriage is coupled to the rear wheel, the intermediate wheel and the frame.

Sit or stand strollers and methods of using and making the same are described herein. An example stroller includes a frame, a first set of mounts, a second set of mounts and a removable accessory. The removable accessory comprises a seat to be mounted to at least one of the first or second sets of mounts, a platform positioned beneath the seat, the platform to provide a standing surface for a stroller occupant, and a handle cantilevered above the platform and in front of the seat to provide a grip for the occupant when standing on the standing surface.

Sit or stand strollers and methods of using and making the same are described herein. An example stroller includes a frame and a seat having a seat pan. The seat pan is pivotable between a raised position and a lowered position. In the lowered position, the seat pan is to support a child in a seated position. The example stroller also includes a foot platform coupled to the frame to support a child in a standing position.
