Abstract
A versatile, adjustable stroller for handicapped children, adolescents and adults. The stroller includes a seat assembly and a frame assembly. The frame assembly includes a tilt-in-space block for allowing the seat assembly to be positioned relative to the frame assembly at a multiplicity of angular positions while providing balanced support for the occupant. The back rest of the seat assembly can be positioned at a multiplicity of angular positions while providing proper anatomical alignment and support for an occupant. The seat assembly can be completely removed from the frame assembly and then installed so that the occupant can face in an opposite direction. The stroller is preferably constructed so as to be collapsible for easy transport and/or storage. The tilt-in-space block enables the structural tubing placement, handle bar placement, and tilt-in-space capability to be situated in one plane, thereby making the stroller narrower to provide the maximum amount of access to the environment for the occupant.
