Abstract
A multi-feature stroller ( ) includes several unique features. The stroller, which has a forward sub-frame ( ) and a rearward sub-frame ( ) that is foldable upon itself, provides a napper bar ( ) which extends outwardly from the forward sub-frame ( ). The napper bar ( ) provides a locking mechanism ( ) which engages one of two locking tongues ( ) extending from an underside of a car seat ( ). Accordingly, the car seat ( ) may be carried by the stroller ( ) in a forward-facing position and a rearward-facing position. The napper bar ( ) is moveable between an extended position and a recessed position by actuating a release mechanism ( ). A fold down mechanism ( ) is connected between the rear sub-frame ( ) and the forward sub-frame ( ) when actuated causes the sub-frames to fold into a collapsed position and simultaneously causes the napper bar to fall to its recessed position. The stroller ( ) is also provided with an adjustable foot rest ( ) that is slidable upon the forward sub-frame. A cross member ( ), which extends between the forward sub-frame, supports the foot rest in one of two positions. The stroller is also provided with a lock adjustment ( ) which allows height and length adjustment between a handle bar ( ) and a push bar ( ) that is connected to the rear and forward sub-frames. These features can be provided singly or in various combinations with one another.
