ABSTRACT:
An adjustable reclining mechanism for a seat back of a baby stroller includes a seat back that is hinged to a stroller frame having opposed sides and a cross bar extending between the opposed sides above the seat back. A flexible web or belt extends from a medial portion of the upper edge of the seat back. Secured to the cross bar is a buckle that includes one end adapted to pivot freely about the cross bar, and an opposed tab end to .facilitate manipulation of the buckle. The buckle includes a planar member having a pair of adjacent slots disposed to receive the belt extending from the seat back. The web is frictionally immobilized by the buckle when the planar member is disposed generally vertically. When the planar member is rotated to a substantially horizontal disposition, the belt is free to translate through the slots of the buckle. To adjust the angle of reclination of the seat back, the user engages the tab of the buckle to rotate the buckle horizontal and free the belt to translate through the slots of the buckle. The belt end may be pulled to shorten the length extending from the buckle to the seat back and raise the seat back toward an upright position. To further recline the seat back, the user supports the seat back with one hand to permit the seat back to tilt back safely while the buckle is held in the horizontal position with the other hand.
