Abstract
An infant stroller convertible to an infant trailer towable behind a cycle 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. With the front wheel removed, the stroller becomes a trailer when connected to a cycle by a quick release 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.
