Abstract
An ice chest or portable cooler is combined with a child stroller to transport small children in seat assemblies that are integral with the lid or cover of the cooler. The ice chest-stroller rolls along on a front and rear axle/wheel assembly and can be either pulled by means of a retractable tow bar or pushed by means of a fold-down push handle. Convenient drawer storage units are located under the front and rear child seats on top of the cooler body lid. To access food and beverages inside the cooler, the entire lid assembly with storage drawers and child seats is lifted up from the top on a hinge attached to the side of the lid assembly and cooler body.
