## Claims

### Claim 1

A stroller assembly comprising:
a stroller frame comprising a front horizontal bar and a rear horizontal bar, the stroller frame configured to operate between an open position and a collapsed position such that the front horizontal bar moves toward the rear horizontal bar when the stroller frame is operated from the open position to the collapsed position and the front horizontal bar moves away from the rear horizontal bar when the stroller frame is operated from the collapsed position to the open position;
a plurality of wheels connected to the stroller frame, the plurality of wheels comprising one or more front wheels and one or more rear wheels; and
a support connected to the stroller frame, the support comprising a first arm, a second arm, and a support wheel, the first arm connected to the front horizontal bar and the second arm, the second arm connected to the rear horizontal bar and the first arm, wherein the support wheel does not contact the ground when the stroller frame is in the open position, and wherein the support and the one or more rear wheels are configured to support the stroller assembly in a substantially vertical position when the stroller frame is in the collapsed position.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The stroller assembly of claim 1, wherein the support comprises a revolute joint having a pin that extends therethrough, and wherein the support wheel is connected to the revolute joint.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The stroller assembly of claim 2, wherein the revolute joint comprises a female portion connected to an end of the first arm and a male portion connected to an end of the second arm, and wherein the female portion and the male portion define holes that are configured to receive the pin.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The stroller assembly of claim 1, wherein the support comprises a joint having a linkage connected to a sleeve, the sleeve configured to receive and slidingly operate along the first arm as the stroller frame is operated between the open position and the collapsed position, and wherein the linkage is connected to the second arm.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The stroller assembly of claim 4, wherein the joint comprises an extension extending from the sleeve, the extension configured to attach to the linkage via a revolute joint such that a pin extends through the linkage and the extension, wherein the support wheel is connected to the first arm.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The stroller assembly of claim 1, wherein the support comprises a joint having a linkage and a sleeve, the sleeve configured to receive and slidingly operate along the second arm as the stroller frame is operated between the open position and the collapsed position.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The stroller assembly of claim 1, wherein the support wheel is configured to abut the ground and rotate when the stroller frame is in the collapsed position to enable the stroller assembly to be pushed or pulled when in the substantially vertical position.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The stroller assembly of claim 1, wherein the first arm and the second arm are hollow aluminum tubes.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)
