Abstract: A child seat has a seat bottom and a seat back pivotally joined to the seat bottom at a seat bight. The seat back and seat bottom are movable between a toddler seat position with the seat back raised to a non-parallel orientation relative to the seat bottom and a lie flat position with the seat back lowered to a generally parallel orientation relative to the seat bottom. A bassinet rail assembly has a foot rail portion and a head rail portion and is able to move to a bassinet wall configuration around a perimeter of and elevated above the child seat when the seat back is in the lie flat position.

Abstract: A foldable stroller has a frame reconfigurable between an unfolded and a folded configuration. The frame has left and right sides, each having a fold joint, a handle push arm slidably coupled to the fold joint, a front leg substantially parallel to the push arm with an upper end connected to the fold joint, a rear leg pivotably extending down from the fold joint, and a drive link with a rear end pivotally coupled to the rear leg and a front end pivotally coupled to a lower end of the push arm. When moved to the folded configuration, the push arm slides downward relative to the fold joint and the rear leg and the drive link rear end move toward the front leg and push arm. In the folded configuration, the rear leg is substantially parallel with and close to the front leg and push arm. A slide collar can be fixed to the front leg and define an opening. The push arm can slide within the opening. A drive mechanism can be operably coupled to the frame to assist in moving the frame to the folded configuration.

Abstract: A stroller seat has a seat bottom with a calf support pivotally connected thereto and pivotable between a lowered position and a raised position. A positioning mechanism is coupled to the calf support and movable between an engaged arrangement and a released arrangement. The positioning mechanism, when in the engaged arrangement, retains the calf support in a position selectable from among at least the lowered position and raised position. A release actuator on the calf support is coupled to the positioning mechanism. The release actuator moves the positioning mechanism to the released arrangement. The positioning mechanism, whether in the engaged or released arrangement, allows the calf support to move in the direction of the raised position. The positioning mechanism, when in the engaged arrangement, prevents the calf support being moved in the direction of the lowered position. The positioning mechanism, when in the released arrangement, permits the calf support to move toward the lowered position.

Abstract: A foldable stroller has a frame assembly with a fold joint, a fold joint, a handle push arm, a front leg with an upper end connected to the fold joint, a rear leg extending down from and pivotally connected to the fold joint, and a drive link. The drive link has a rear end pivotally coupled to the rear leg below the fold joint and a front end pivotally coupled to a lower end of the push arm. The frame assembly is reconfigurable between an unfolded and a folded configuration. In the folded configuration, the fold joint moves upward along the handle push arm. The rear end of the drive link and the rear leg are moved toward and lie closely adjacent the front leg and handle push arm. The frame assembly may automatically move to the folded and/or unfolded configuration. The foldable stroller may also stand upright in the folded configuration.

Abstract: A joint mechanism is for connecting two adjacent components and has a first joint part with a shaped connector and a first receiver configured to receive a first component. A second joint part has a mating connector that engages the shaped connector fixing the first and second joint parts to one another and has a second receiver configured to receive a second component to be connected to the first component. At least one of the first and second receivers is a channel formed in the respective first or second joint part and has an open side that is covered by a portion of the other of the first and second joint parts when the shaped connector and the mating connector are fully engaged.

Abstract: A stroller has a seat assembly with a seat bottom and a seat back that is movable from an upright in-use orientation to a forward folded orientation closer to the seat bottom. A structure such as an arm bar extends across the seat assembly above the seat bottom and in front of the seat back. The structure is in a raised in-use position with the seat back in the in-use orientation. The structure moves from the in-use position to a lowered stowed position closer to the seat bottom when the seat back is moved to the folded forward orientation.
