Abstract

The invention is directed to strollers for children and, more specifically, to various features of a stroller providing increased comfort and functionality over prior art strollers. The exemplary stroller of the present invention includes a napper bar including a removable tray insert that is adapted to be attached and detached to facilitate cleaning of the tray area, without having to reposition the napper bar. A further exemplary feature of the invention includes a customizable child receiver. In an even further exemplary embodiment, the child receiver includes a first piece hingedly mounted to a second piece, hingedly mounted to a third piece. In this manner, the pieces may be reconfigured to provide a seating position with an upright back support, or a relatively flat lying position where the back support is parallel to a seat portion. Another exemplary feature of the invention includes a single action folding mechanism operative to facilitate folding of the stroller into a more compact unit. The single action mechanism includes a thumb lock operative to inhibit substantial actuation of a trigger to inhibit folding of the stroller. In this manner, accidental contact with the trigger alone is not operative to collapse the stroller when the thumb lock is engaged.
