Abstract: A mattress assembly for a playard has a plurality of support panels coupled to one another and movable relative to one another. The support panels are movable between a generally planar in-use configuration having a top side and a bottom side and a multi-sided storage configuration with an interior space sized to surround a collapsed playard. A mattress pad is detachable from and attachable to the plurality of support panels. The mattress pad lies against the top side of the plurality of support panels and is movable with the plurality of support panels between the in-use configuration and the storage configuration. A plurality of attachment devices are provided for selectively attaching the mattress pad to and detaching the mattress pad from the plurality of support panels.

Abstract: A stroller includes a stroller frame movable between an in-use configuration and a folded configuration and a seat assembly mounted to the stroller frame. The stroller frame includes right and left front legs, right and left fold links, and right and left seat support frame members extending between the respective right and left front legs and the respective right and left fold links. The seat assembly includes a seat and a seat support mounted to the right and left seat support frame members such that, as the stroller frame moves from the in-use configuration to the folded configuration, the seat support translates relative to the right and left seat support frame members. The stroller frame also can include right and left push arms and right and left rear legs.

Abstract: A stroller includes a stroller frame, a basket frame including a pair of arms mounted to the stroller frame and a rear cross member extending between the pair of arms, a latch mount coupled to the rear cross member, a basket mounted to pivot relative to the basket frame, and a latch coupled to the basket to releasably engage the latch mount, thereby allowing the basket to move between a closed position and an open position relative to the basket frame.

Abstract: A foldable stroller with a basket, the basket having a frame with left and right side legs pivotally mounted to the stroller frame for movement between an upper position and a lower position. The legs of the basket frame are supported on side members of the stroller frame that pivot as the stroller frame moves between its folded and open positions, so that folding or unfolding of the stroller frame effects pivotal movement of the basket frame between its lower and upper positions. In another form, a stroller with a basket has handle-operated support members for the side legs of the basket frame that selectively support the basket frame in an upper position, and allow the basket frame to drop to a lower position for easier access to basket interior through the upper opening of the basket.

Abstract: An accessory bridge, having a storage compartment, adapted to be secured to the upper portion of the handle of a stroller, above a so-called “parent console;” and a stroller including such an accessory bridge. The accessory bridge preferably is secured at its bottom to the top of the console, and at its top to the handgrip portion of the handle. The storage compartment may be within a tilt-out bin that is accessible from the rear, such that it can be accessed when the stroller is open, as well as when it is folded. A front opening allows the dispensing of articles (e.g., tissues) carried by the accessory bridge.

Abstract: A collapsible stroller including a lockable hinge and a seat assembly pivotally mounted on the stroller frame. With the use of a seat strap attached to the seat assembly, the stroller can be collapsed using one hand. Pulling on the seat strap pivots the seat assembly to a position in which engagement surfaces on the seat assembly engage with the hinge latch of the lockable hinge. Engaging the hinge latch with the seat assembly unlocks the lockage hinge allowing the stroller to collapse.

Abstract: A child carrier with an improved mounting system is disclosed. The improved mounting arrangement includes at least one side wall having at least one slot on a surface of the side wall. The arrangement also includes at least one support extension connected to a frame and adapted to engage the slot and cooperate with a stop to fixedly connect the child carrying device to the frame.

Abstract: A convertible stroller for convenient conversion between a plurality of configurations, comprising a frame structure, a back rest portion connected to the frame structure at a first pivot point to allow the back rest portion to recline between an upright and a reclined position, a foot rest portion connected to the frame structure at a second pivot point to allow the foot rest portion to rotate between a lowered position and an elevated position, and an arm bar slidably connected to the frame structure to allow the arm bar to move between a closed position and an extended position.
