Forward portions of the handle members are hingedly connected together to form a kicker portion when erected, and rear portions of the handle members are laterally spaced apart for gripping. Forward portions of the leg members are hingedly connected together and located above the forward portions of the handle members when the wheelbarrow is erected, and rear portions of the leg members provide spaced apart legs to support the wheelbarrow. Each leg member is hinged to an adjacent arm member for rotation about a respective main hinge axis. The wheel is mounted for rotation about a transversely extending axle which is hingedly and slidably connected to the forward portions of the handle members.
