Abstract

A foldable infant trailer is convertible into an infant trailer towable behind a cycle. The convertible stroller and trailer includes a tubular frame having a lower frame portion and an upper frame portion. The upper frame portion supports a flexible infant holder or seat. The upper frame portion is also foldable down upon the lower frame portion. With the front wheel removed, the stroller becomes a trailer when connected to a cycle by a trailer-cycle hitch assembly. The assembly includes a fork plate, yoke portion and bicycle hitch end which safely and securely interconnects the trailer to the bicycle frame.
