Abstract
A stroller has a frame reconfigurable between an in-use configuration and a folded configuration. A fold joint on the frame, when in a latched orientation, retains the frame in the in-use configuration. A seat is supported by the frame and a tray extends across and is spaced forward from the seat assembly. The fold joint is coupled to a portion of the tray and is configured to: a) move the tray to a deployed position relative to the seat when the frame is moved to the in-use configuration; b) retain the tray in the deployed position when in the in-use orientation; and c) release and allow the tray to move to a folded position when the frame is moved to the folded configuration. The fold joint is configured to hide and covers the various fold latch and tray fold components.
