  • Patent number: 10716411
    Abstract: An adaptable child carrier system includes a harness having a pair of shoulder straps extendable over the wearer's shoulders and a lower panel extendable over a portion of the wearer's back. A primary support is selectively attachable to the harness. A pair of connecting straps extend between the primary support and the shoulder straps. The child carrier system is selectively transitionable between a first and second wearing modes without re-orientation, removal, reversal or modification of the harness part. In the first wearing mode, the primary support is attached to the pair of shoulder straps such that the lower panel and the primary support are separated from each other so as to reside on opposed sides of the wearer's torso when worn by the wearer. In the second wearing mode, the primary support is attached to the lower panel to define a cavity to receive the child for carrying the child adjacent the wearer's back.

  • Patent number: 10259483
    Abstract: A stroller including a pair of wheels and a cross bar extending therebetween. A pedal is coupled to the cross bar, and is transitional relative thereto between locked and unlocked configurations. A pair of braking pins is operatively coupled to the pedal. Each braking pin is transitional relative to a corresponding wheel between locked and unlocked configurations. Each braking pin is engaged with the corresponding wheel when the braking pin is in the locked configuration, and each braking pin is disengaged with the corresponding wheel when in the unlocked configuration. The braking pins are coupled to the pedal such that movement of the pedal from the unlocked configuration to the locked configuration causes the braking pins to transition to their respective locked configurations, and movement of the pedal from the locked configuration to the unlocked configuration causes the braking pins to transition to their respective unlocked configurations.
