Abstract

A lightweight infant stroller is provided for carrying an infant while walking or while walking, running or jogging at a faster than walking pace. The stroller includes three large diameter wheels arranged in a tricycle configuration, a lightweight foldable frame to which the wheels are attached and an infant holder made from a flexible material supported by the frame. The frame includes pivotally connected upper portion and a lower portions, whereby the portions may be folded against one another so the stroller occupies a minimum space during transport or storage. The rear wheels are removably attached to the frame; they may be removed completely for storage and, for use, the distance between the rear wheels may be selectively varied to enhance stability.
