Abstract
Provided herein is a lightweight stroller that can be transitioned between a closed position and an open position. The stroller includes a seating portion and at least one frame supporting the seating portion and transitionable from an open position to a closed position. The frame includes at least a front support rotatably connected to rear support. The stroller also includes a cinching strap connected between the front support and the rear support. The cinching strap is configured such that, as the frame transitions from the open position to the closed position, the cinching strap pulls the rear support toward the front support or the front support toward the front support. The cinching strap may at least partially maintain the front support and the rear support in the closed position. The cinching strap may include a flexible portion formed from a string, cable, polymer sheet, braided webbing, or any combination thereof.
