Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a baby stroller that can accommodate an infant in a seated, standing, or reclining position. The stroller is fully collapsible for easy storage and transportation. The stroller has a unique frame design with diagonal braces and swivel wheel sets that allow for smooth movement and stability. The stroller also has a seat and floor member suspended below the seat for added comfort. A canopy is attached to the stroller handle for shading the infant, and there is a standing space between the seat base and the handrail for the infant to stand and hold onto."

Problems solved by technology

One of the drawbacks of the strollers is that infants spend a great deal of time confined in a sitting position.
Most infants become restless, irritable, and bored when forced to remain seated for a long time.
However, modern strollers are not equipped to provide support for an infant who is just beginning to stand.

The front wheel set 16, similarly has a pair of rotating wheels 16a and 16b that rotate and swivel about a common swivel rod 17. The rear wheels 18 and 20 are connected by a common axle rod 22 that facilitates rotation of the rear wheels 18 and 20 in unison.

[0021]The frame assembly 12 comprises a U-shaped handle 30 which has a first elongate bar 31 and a second elongate bar 32 connected by a cross member 34. A friction sleeve 36 is positioned on the cross member 34. The sleeve 36 is formed from a resilient flexible material that ens...

No. 12 / 584,917 filed on Sep. 15, 2009 entitled “Infant Stroller,” the full disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein, and priority of which is hereby claimed.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to an infant stroller, and more particularly to a baby stroller in which the baby may transported selectively in a standing, sitting, or reclining position.

Strollers are manufactured in a variety of styles, but the basic stroller generally includes a cloth seat, suspended within a wheeled frame. In a stroller, an infant can sit...
