Abstract

The present application relates to a brake assembly for simultaneously holding a pair of wheels, which is used in, for example, the rear wheels of a stroller, wherein the two rear wheels are each provided with a pivotal block having a protruding brake member and pivotally connected to a wheel axle respectively. The pivotal blocks are coupled to each other by the wheel axle such that when either one of the stopping pedals is stepped down by the user, the engaging protruding elements provided on the pivotal block of both wheels are engaged between the stopping ribs of both two rear wheels and holding both wheels simultaneously.
