ABSTRACT:
An infant seat which converts from a car seat into a stroller. The infant seat comprises a chair connected to a wheel frame on which the wheel set is mounted. The wheel set consists of front and rear wheels connected by a linking means. When the wheel frame is in a stowed condition, it supports the chair in either a forward-facing or rearward-facing car seat configuration. The wheel set is stowed behind or below the chair while the car seat is secured to the automobile seat by the automobile safety belts threaded through the wheel frame. To convert the car seat into a stroller, the wheel frame rotates about its pinned connections to the chair to simultaneously deploy the linked front and rear wheels. The chair back reclines with respect to the chair bottom to convert the stroller into a carriage. Modifications of the wheel frame allow the infant seat to be converted into an infant rocker. Accessories such as a sun shade and footrest also extend from the chair. A handle lock assembly secures the handle in a variety of positions. An articulated chair has side wall extenders which deploy as the back of the chair is reclined with respect to the chair bottom.
