The first mount is pivotally connected to the second mount. The infant carrier is locked in the folded state when the first mount rotates to a first rotating position relative to the second mount. The infant carrier is locked in the expanded state when the first mount rotates to a second rotating position relative to the second mount. The first mount is locked at the first rotating position or the second rotating position via movement of the locking member, so as to make the foldable mechanism have a simple folding mechanical design and improve folding stability of the foldable mechanism.
