Abstract
A removable latching assembly for use with a child's stroller. The stroller has a latch support post with a latch lug and a bearing surface, and a pivot support post with a bearing surface. The latching assembly includes a latching portion having an engagement surface and a manually operable latch lever with a pawl engagable with the latch lug, and a pivot portion with a bearing surface slidably engagable with the bearing surface of the pivot support post. To install, the pivot portion is maneuvered onto the pivot post bearing surface, the assembly is rotated by substantially ninety degrees about the bearing surface of the pivot support post until the latching portion engagement surface encounters the bearing surface of the latch support post. The latch lever is manipulated to engage the latching pawl with the latch lug. The assembly is removed by opening the latch lever until the pawl disengages from the latch lug, after which the assembly can be rotated about the pivot support post and removed from the stroller.
