Abstract
An IV pole and stroller combination provides a wheel base, which, in the first and second exemplary embodiments, replaces the stroller's rear wheels. The stroller's front portion is equipped with one or more steerable front wheels, and the stroller folds up for compact storage. The IV pole is equipped with typical IV pole features, such as hooks for fluid bags and mounts for other medical equipment. The stroller portion is equipped with typical stroller features, such as a storage basket underneath the child's seat, a sun shade, and a bottle holder. In an alternative exemplary embodiment, the wheel base and number of wheels are reduced; the vertical IV pole member may not be directly affixed to the wheel base, and may instead be removably affixed to a portion of the stroller frame.
