    Abstract: The present application provides a baby carrier with a convertible seat frame which includes a stroller frame, a stroller frame mount, the resting member, and the seat frame. The seat frame is pivotally mounted to the stroller frame mount so as to pivot between a seat mode and a lay-flat mode relative to the stroller frame. By fixing the resting member to the stroller frame mount mounted to the stroller frame to form a firm integral, the resting member does not pivot along with the seat frame pivoting. The resting member stays at a designated horizontal position when the seat frame pivots independently of the resting member. Therefore, the resting member does not intervene between caregivers and the child in the baby carrier so that a space substantially above the seat frame is kept clear for ease access to the child in the baby carrier.

  • Patent number: 10322739
    Abstract: A baby carriage frame has a frame body, a front-seat panel, a rear-seat panel, and two rear-seat fixing assemblies. The two seat panels are mounted on the frame body, and the rear-seat panel is front-and-rear moveable. Two clamping recesses in a bottom of the rear-seat panel are downwardly disposed around the frame body. Each rear-seat fixing assembly has a seat pivot frame and a seat clamping panel pivotally connected to each other, and the seat clamping panel has a seat eccentric part to abut tightly against a transverse side of the rear-seat panel to fix the rear-seat panel on the frame body, which is convenient and quick in use. The clamping recesses on a bottom of the rear-seat panel enable the rear-seat panel to move continuously front-and-rear along the frame body in one step, thereby adjusting the space between the two seat panels to be adapted to various situations.
