Abstract
A stroller for children movable between a compact folded position and an erect position for receiving and supporting a child. The stroller comprises a handle portion, a front wheel support portion and a rear wheel support portion. The handle portion has a handle at one end, and the front wheel support portion has front wheels rotatably supported at one end. The opposite end of each of the handle and front wheel support portions comprise a pair of spaced apart elongated handle and front members respectively which are hingeably connected together. The rear wheel support portion has rear wheels rotatably supported at one end and a slide member hingeably connected to each of a pair of spaced apart elongated rear members at its opposite end. Each slide member is further slideably mounted on a handle member of the handle portion and movable thereon from a retracted position to an extended position. In the retracted position, the handle and front wheel support portions are free to pivot relative to one another for folding the stroller into a compact folded position. In the extended position, the slide member slidably engages the front wheel support portion for securing the handle and front wheel support portions together in non-pivotal relation for supporting the stroller in its erect position. The slide member connections between the handle and rear members further allows pivotal movement of the rear wheel support portion relative to the handle and front portions to provide a more compact folded position for the stroller.
