Juvenile carrier with adjustable handle assembly

An adjustable handle assembly comprising:

• a handle, said handle being rotatable;
• a handle actuator disposed proximate to the handle;
• and
• a locking member disposed proximate to the handle actuator and releasably engaging said handle, the locking member comprises a cylindrical portion, and a plurality of teeth including at least one key tooth arranged circumferentially about the cylindrical portion, the locking member comprises a recess portion extending into at least a portion of said cylindrical portion and a conical portion outwardly extending from said cylindrical portion;
• wherein the handle is rotatable when said locking member is axially disengaged from said handle and locked by said locking member when said locking member is axially engaged with said handle.

A juvenile carrier comprising:

• a frame including a seating portion for receiving a juvenile and a locking member receiving portion;
• a circular locking member adapted to engage the locking member receiving portion;
• a handle rotatably connected to the frame, said handle defining an axis about which said handle rotates;
• and
• a handle actuator disposed proximate to the handle, said handle actuator being disposed approximately perpendicularly relative to said axis, wherein the circular locking member includes a plurality of teeth disposed about its circumference and is adapted to engage the handle and the locking member to selectively lock the handle in several distinct rotational positions.

An adjustable handle assembly comprising:

• a handle, said handle having an axis about which said handle rotates;
• a handle actuator disposed proximate to the handle, said handle actuator being disposed in a plane approximately perpendicularly relative to said axis of said handle;
• and
• a circular locking member disposed proximate to the handle actuator, wherein the circular locking member includes a plurality of teeth disposed about its circumference and is adapted to engage the handle and the locking member to selectively lock the handle in several distinct rotational positions.
