Abstract
A stroller frame is provided, which includes front tubes and rear tubes. The stroller frame further includes a frame and sliders. The frame defines an accommodation space to accommodate the front tubes and the rear tubes. The sliders are movably connected to the front tubes and the rear tubes. The sliders are configured to drive the front tubes and the rear tubes to move into the accommodation space. The stroller frame has an unfolded state and a folded state. When the front tubes and the rear tubes extend out of the accommodation space, the stroller frame is in the unfolded state and is maintained in a stable configuration. When the front tubes and the rear tubes are retracted into the accommodation space, the stroller frame is in the folded state and is maintained in a stable configuration.
