Abstract
A hand-propelled vehicle for passenger transport, in particular a pushchair, includes a chassis with at least three wheels, at least two of which are pivotally connected to the chassis, wherein the pivotable wheels are connected by at least one shaft which is pivotally connected to a fixed part of the chassis. The pivotable wheels are further situated behind the at least one fixed wheel as seen in the direction of travel of the vehicle, and the pivot connection of the shaft to the fixed part of the chassis is situated in front of the shaft as seen in the direction of travel. It is thus possible to arrange a steering function in frame constructions where there is no room for pivotable front wheels.
