• a retracted suitcase configuration in which:
• the stroller frame is generally adjacent the rear of the suitcase portion such that the second set of wheels is generally adjacent the first set of wheels;
• and the seat is stowed between the legs of the stroller frame and against the rear of the suitcase portion such that the backrest and the front region of the suitcase portion generally define, respectively, a back and front of the suitcase configuration;
• and
• a deployed stroller configuration for seating and transporting a child in which:
• the stroller frame and seat are moved away from the rear of the suitcase portion such that the first set of wheels of the suitcase portion define rear wheels of the stroller configuration and the second set of wheels of the stroller frame are spaced from the first set of wheels to define front wheels of the stroller configuration;
• and the seat portion and backrest are deployed from the stroller frame to define the seat of the stroller configuration, and wherein the suitcase is rotated to a position nonorthogonal to the ground when in the deployed stroller configuration.
