Abstract
A collapsible stroller has a frame structure collapsible between an in-use configuration and a compact or collapsed configuration. The stroller has a variety of features or accessories that improve collapsibility, as well as stroller function and comfort during use. A number of these features or accessories also permit three-dimensional collapse of the stroller frame structure without requiring removal or disassembly of these features or accessories. The stroller can have one or more of the following features or accessories: a storage basket under the seat with a basket access area that is unencumbered by parts of the stroller; a collapsible foot rest for the seat occupant; a collapsible tray for the seat occupant; a tray with feet that provide, in part, a stable base to stand the collapsed stroller in an upright orientation; a collapsible upper cross-brace behind the seat; a cup holder for the caregiver that is provided as part of the collapsible upper cross-brace; a collapsible lower cross-brace that does not inhibit the basket access area beneath and behind the seat; a brake system incorporated into the lower cross-brace; an easy two-step fold frame structure; and handles for the caregiver that are adjustable longitudinally and rotationally using a single actuator.
