Abstract

A stroller which is foldable to a flat rectangular configuration has an occupant seating structure, seat supporting structure, seat supporting members extending downwardly from the seat to ground engaging wheels, and a handle connected to one of the structures for transmitting motive and steering forces. Bearing structure transmits load forces from the seat to the seat supporting members and rotatably supports each seat supporting member for pivotal folding movement so that the wheel supporting structure is foldable to an orientation generally parallel with and closely adjacent the occupant seat. The handle is pivotally foldable about an axis vertically adjacent the seat so that the folded handle is orientated substantially parallel with and closely adjacent the seat.
