Abstract

A toy doll stroller and ferris wheel has a pair of substantially A-shaped frame members with a U-shaped handle extending from and joining the frame members. Spaced side wheels mounted on a hollow axle are journaled for rotation between the apexes and carry three pivotally depending doll seats spaced about their periphery. Free wheeling front ground wheels are mounted on an axle extending between the forward angled legs of the frame members. Each of a pair of rear ground wheels is mounted on a stub shaft carried by the rearward angled frame leg on a common axis and is in driving engagement with a respective side wheel. The rearward angled legs are connected together by a U-shaped bracket of resilient material pivotally attached below the axis of the stub shafts. The bracket is movable between a first unobstructing position and a second stand position that spaces the rear wheels from the ground. One of the rear wheels has a hand crank to drive the ferris wheel while the bracket is in the stand position and the stroller remains stationary. Chimes or other musical note-producing devices may be carried in the hollow axle.
