Abstract

A collapsible infant stroller that has an elevated contractible lower frame portion having a rear end, an intermediate portion and a front end. A contractible upper frame portion is provided with a lower end pivotally attached to the lower frame portion and extending downwardly therefrom and supporting two front wheel assemblies, an intermediate seat portion supporting a flexible infant seat and an upper handle end. A stabilizer strut is connected to the lower frame portion and the upper frame portion to secure the frame portions together for safe and smooth carrying of an infant. A rear strut pivotally connects the upper frame portion and the lower frame portion and extends downwardly from the lower frame portion for supporting rear wheel assemblies. A releasable locking catch secures the stroller in its upright erect position for use, and when released, permits contraction of the upper and lower frame portions inwardly upon themselves as to move the stroller to a collapsed condition for transportation and storage.
