ABSTRACT:
A folding carrier assembly converts to a bicycle trailer, a three-wheeled jogging stroller and a four wheeled casting stroller. The carrier assembly has a lower main frame. An arched rear or back frame member is pivotally connected to an aft portion of the lower main frame. The carrier assembly further has a single longitudinal arched member with a first end and a second end. A center support pivotally connects the arched member first end to a central fore area of the lower main frame. A user interface in the form of a release mechanism removably couples the arched member second end to a central area of the arched rear frame member. The carrier has two wheel assemblies on opposite lateral sides of the lower main frame. Wheel guards are disposed external and lateral to the wheel assembly. Supports on the fore portion of the lower main frame enable removable coupling to a jogging wheel assembly or a pair of caster wheels. Alternatively, a trailer tongue may be connected to one of the supports.
