A convertible infant car seat and stroller assembly, comprising:

• an infant car seat shell;
• and
• a chassis coupled to the infant car seat, comprising:
• a frame;
• a pair of rear legs pivotally coupled to the frame;
• and
• a pair of front legs, each front leg pivotally coupled to a respective rear leg of the pair of rear legs, wherein the rear legs and the front legs are retracted to the frame in a first transport condition usable as an infant car seat, and wherein the rear legs and the front legs are deployable away from the frame to a second transport condition usable as a stroller;
• a locking peg translatably held within the frame, the locking peg movable from a first position engaging the front legs in the deployed position to prevent the front legs from pivoting, to a second position wherein the locking peg is disengaged from the front legs to allow the front legs to pivot;
• a release handle on the infant car seat, the release handle operably coupled to the locking peg, the release handle operable to move the locking peg from the first position to the second position;
• a carriage coupled between the release handle and the locking peg, the release handle being operable to move the carriage in a first direction to translate the locking peg from the first position to the second position;
• wherein the carriage includes an angled cam surface and the locking peg includes an extending cam pin engaging with the angled cam surface, and wherein operation of the release handle moves the carriage in the first direction the cam pin interacting with the angled cam surface translates the locking peg from the first position to the second position;
• wherein, in the second transport condition, the front legs and the rear legs are releasably secured to the chassis frame in the deployed position to prevent the front legs and the rear legs from pivoting.
