Abstract: A suspension system for a stroller is described. The suspension system may include a rotating damper mechanism used between a stroller frame and a stroller wheel. In one example, apparatus for providing suspension/damping of a stroller includes a first member attached to a stroller frame, a second member disposed co-axially with the first member and operable to rotate relative to the first member, and at least one elastic member (e.g., urethane) positioned between the first and second members for damping motion (e.g., rotational or translational motion) therebetween. In one example, four elastic members are disposed between the first and second members.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for adding an interface to a stroller is described. The apparatus may include a frame supporting a mounting interface for engaging an interface of the stroller, and first and second interfaces, each operable for receiving a removable seating surface. Such an apparatus may be mounted on the interface of a stroller designed to have a single interface for a seat, thereby providing two interfaces for seats. In another example, an apparatus for adding an interface may include an interface for receiving a removable seating surface and a frame operable for attaching to a stroller and supporting the interface. The apparatus may further include an attachment mechanism for attaching to the frame of the stroller and wheels. Such an apparatus may attach to a stroller designed to have a single interface for a seat, thereby introducing at least one more interface for a second seat.

Abstract: A modular child restraint system for use in vehicles comprises a base and interchangeable attachable seats where the seats are for different stages of childhood development. The system can further comprise additional bases adapted to other uses such as strollers and infant swings. A common engagement mechanism allows the various seats to be moved from one base to another. One such system comprises a base and a seat configured to rotate relative to one another when engaged. The seat can also lock in a position relative to the base. The base includes a visual indicator to show that the seat is secured to the base.
