  • Patent number: 7144024
    Abstract: A manually maneuverable, quick release ride along miniature bicycle doll carrier, for holding a doll wearing a helmet therein, is mounted on a child's bicycle frame. The bicycle doll carrier functions as an important safety teaching element for the child playing with the doll, the doll's helmet and the doll seat carrier. A front mounting clamp is rigidly attached to the bicycle seat carrier post to or receive one of the quick release elements. The doll carrier is retained to the bicycle by front and rear support rod assemblies, which compose the quick release elements. For attachment by the child, the carrier with the pre-attached front support rods and rear support rod assembly is carried to the bicycle by the child. The quick release ends of the rear rod assembly are twisted to engage the bicycle frame members. Then the front support rods are guided to engage ends within angled holes in a front mounting clamp located upon the steering post of the bicycle.
