Pushchairs

A pushchair of the type which comprises a chassis which is born upon one or more primary wheels on a primary wheel bearing axis, the chassis further having one or more forward and/or rear secondary wheel(s) or forward and/or rear stabilizer(s) that in normal use of the pushchair during horizontal travel is/are not ground engaging but which limit tilting of the pushchair about the primary axis, the pushchair being characterized in that it further comprises a selectively operable stabilizer means which may be deployed to bring a prop means into ground engagement to substantially prevent tilting of the pushchair about the primary wheel axis when the pushchair is stationary, wherein the selectively operable stabilizer means comprises a prop means that is mounted to the chassis and moveable from a stowed position adjacent the chassis to an extended position in which it props the chassis against tilting about the primary axis, and where the prop is also adapted to engage the pushchair primary wheel(s) to function as a brake.

A pushchair of the type which comprises a chassis supported by at least one primary wheel mounted on a primary wheel bearing axle, the chassis further having at least one stabilizer that in normal use of the pushchair during horizontal travel is not ground engaging but which limits tilting of the pushchair about the primary wheel bearing axle, and a brake block, said pushchair further comprising selectively operable stabilizer means including prop means which may be deployed to bring said prop means into ground engagement to substantially prevent tilting of the pushchair about the primary wheel bearing axle when the pushchair is stationary, wherein said stabilizer means comprises an adjustment mechanism for lowering the chassis relative to the primary wheel bearing axle to bring said stabilizer into ground engagement and wherein lowering of said chassis brings said brake block into contact with said primary wheel.

A pushchair of the type which comprises a chassis supported by at least one primary wheel mounted on a primary wheel bearing axle, the chassis further having at least one stabilizer that in normal use of the pushchair during horizontal travel is not ground engaging but which limits tilting of the pushchair about the primary wheel bearing axle, said pushchair further comprising selectively operable stabilizer means including prop means which may be deployed to bring said prop means into ground engagement to substantially prevent tilting of the pushchair about the primary wheel bearing axle when the pushchair is stationary, said prop means being mounted to said chassis and moveable from a stowed position adjacent the chassis to an extended position in which it props the chassis against tilting about the primary wheel bearing axle, and where the prop is also adapted to engage the pushchair primary wheel to function as a brake.
