ABSTRACT:
A convertible child seat/stroller apparatus is described for use as a child's seat with a vehicle and a stroller. The convertible comprises a seat assembly with a seat area, and a collapsible wheel assembly affixed to the seat assembly and disposable along a path between a retracted position wherein the convertible apparatus serves as the child's car seat and an extended position wherein the convertible apparatus serves as the stroller. The wheel assembly comprises a pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs; each of these legs has a first end pivotally connected to the seat assembly and a second end rotatively connected to a wheel. A manually graspable mechanism is moveable rectilinearly along the path between a first point corresponding to the retracted position and a second point corresponding to the extended position. A collapsible strut assembly is provided for interconnecting the graspable mechanism to each of the legs and is disposable from a collapsed state when the graspable mechanism is at its first point to an extended state when the graspable mechanism is at its second point for stabilizing the wheels in their extended position against lateral forces.
