Patent number: 12643590Abstract: In one example, a carriage for pushing a child carrier has a wheeled frame that transitions between expanded and folded configurations. The frame has first and second leg assemblies and first and second linkages. The first leg assembly has a first front leg and a first rear leg that are pivotably coupled to one another. The second leg assembly has a second front leg and a second rear leg that are pivotably coupled to one another. The first linkage is attached to the first front leg and the first rear leg, and the second linkage is attached to the second front leg and the second rear leg so as to guide movement of the front and rear legs as the frame is transitioned between the expanded and folded configurations. The first and second linkages each define a support surface that supports an underside of the child carrier.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: WONDERLAND SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Daniel A. Sack, Patrick J. G. Bowers, Curtis M. Hartenstine, Andrew J. Horst, Colin F. Eggert-Crowe, Lance J. Clemmer

Patent number: 12612093Abstract: In one example, an organizer removably couples to a handle of a child carrier. The organizer has a tray, a storage container, and a flexible material. The tray has an opening that extends into the tray's upper end towards the tray's lower end and that can receive an item for storage. The storage container is disposed below the tray and has an open upper end and a closed bottom end. The flexible material is coupled to the tray and the storage container. The organizer transitions between an expanded configuration in which the flexible material defines sides of the organizer between the tray and the storage container, and a compact configuration in which the tray and storage container are positioned closer to one another. In another example, the child carrier has a handle that extends and retracts and that prevents installation of the organizer when the handle is extended.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 28, 2026Assignee: WONDERLAND SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Daniel A.

Patent number: 12600398Abstract: In one example, a child carriage has a frame with wheels. The frame has a coupler that removably couples the child carriage to a child carrier, such as a seat or bassinet. The frame has first and second leg assemblies, each having a front leg and a rear leg that are pivotably coupled about a first axis. The first crosspiece extends between the front legs of the first and second leg assemblies, and the second crosspiece extends between the rear legs of the first and second leg assemblies. The carriage is devoid of any push handle that extends above the child carrier. The frame folds about (i) the first axis from an expanded configuration to a first folded configuration so as to align hinges of the first and second crosspieces along a second axis, and (ii) the second axis from the first folded configuration to a second folded configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: April 14, 2026Assignee: WONDERLAND SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Daniel A.

Patent number: 12576900Abstract: In one example, a travel system has a child carriage and a child carrier that removably couples to the child carriage. The carriage has a frame and wheels attached thereto. The carrier has a frame or body that supports a child therein, a handle coupled to the frame or body, a handle rotation lock, and a handle extension lock. The handle extends, retracts, and rotates relative to the frame or body to different rotational positions. The handle rotation lock selectively locks the handle in each of the rotational positions, and the handle extension lock selective locks the handle in extended and retracted positions. The carrier can have (i) a rotation stop that selectively blocks rotation of the handle when the handle is extended and/or (ii) an extension stop that selectively blocks extension of the handle when the handle is in a position for hand carrying the carrier.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 2021Date of Patent: March 17, 2026Assignee: WONDERLAND SWITZERLAND AGInventors: Daniel A. Sack, Patrick J. G. Bowers, Curtis M. Hartenstine, Andrew J. Horst, Colin F. Eggert-Crowe, Lance J. Clemmer

Publication number: 20260069055Abstract: An infant seat includes a seat back member including an outer hub, a seat support member including an inner hub, a seat structure connected to the seat back member, and a locking mechanism including a slide gear and operably disposed on the seat back member. The inner hub is pivotably connected to the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatably connected to the seat support member for forming a cross bar structure. The slide gear is slidable within the outer and inner hubs for engaging with the outer and inner hubs to stop rotation of the inner hub on the outer hub. When the locking mechanism translates the slide gear to an unlocked position, the slide gear is disengaged from the outer hub to make the seat back member rotatable relative to the seat support member for adjusting a tilt angle of the seat structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2025Publication date: March 12, 2026Inventors: Andrew J. TAYLOR, Daniel A. SACK, Curtis M. HARTENSTINE, Patrick J. G. BOWERS

Patent number: 12426723Abstract: A playpen includes an upper frame assembly having an unfolded and a folded state, a standing leg rotatable relative to the upper frame assembly between a folded and an unfolded position, a first locking mechanism for locking the standing leg in the unfolded position, and a second locking mechanism for locking the upper frame assembly in the unfolded state. The upper frame assembly includes an unfoldable side frame portion including a corner joining part, and a foldable side frame portion including a coupling part pivotally connected to the corner joining part. The corner joining part includes a cavity delimited at least partially between two opposite sidewalls thereof, and the standing leg has an end pivotally connected to the corner joining part, the end of the standing leg being movable inside the cavity of the corner joining part as the standing leg rotates relative to the corner joining part.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2024Date of Patent: September 30, 2025Assignee: Wonderland Switzerland AGInventors: Andrew J.

Publication number: 20250269893Abstract: Disclosed is a compact foldable stroller, which comprises a main stroller frame. The main stroller frame comprises a central frame hub, and a handle part, a rear leg part and a front leg part that can separately be pivotally coupled to the central frame hub. The main stroller frame further comprises a fitting part attached to the handle part. The compact foldable stroller has an unfolded state for use and a folded state for storage. When the compact foldable stroller changes from the unfolded state to the folded state, the fitting part approaches a rear wheel set. The main stroller frame can be compactly folded by means of a series of pivot points, which may accept child seats of various configurations during installation. The seat can be folded in a manner suitable to the folding boundary size of the main stroller frame, thereby keeping the folding size of the stroller unit minimal.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 28, 2025Publication date: August 28, 2025Inventors: Andrew J. HORST, Daniel A. SACK
