Abstract
A stroller has a collapsible frame, a removable stand, a removable footrest assembly, removable front and upper trays, and a latch for maintaining the collapsible frame in the collapsed position. The stand is connected to the cross brace and the intermediate bar of the frame, and movable between an extended position when the stroller frame is in the collapsed position and a retracted position when the stroller frame is in the operating position. The stand includes a stand guide and an elongated member movable relative to the stand guide. The elongated member has a first C-shaped collar at one end thereof and a foot at the opposite end. The foot can engage the ground or support when the stand is moved to the extended position to keep the collapsed stroller in an upright position. The stand guide has a second C-shaped collar. The first collar is pivotally and removably connected to an intermediate bar of the seat support, and the second collar is pivotally and removably connected to a rear cross brace connecting the rear right and left legs of the collapsible frame. The footrest assembly is attached to a front cross brace connecting the front right and left legs of the collapsible frame.
