A frame has two sides which are pivotably connected between two arms on the base by two links. An assistant frame is located between the two side rails of the base and has a first transverse bar and two support links are connected to the first transverse bar and pivotably connected to the underside of the frame. Two sub-wheels are connected to two extensions on two ends of the first transverse bar and movably received in the interior of the two side rails via the slots. The sub-wheels come out from the two openings when the frame is upright folded.
