A modular chassis of a stroller system, comprising:
- a body;
- and
- a first stroller frame mount and a second stroller frame mount on the body, the first and second stroller frame mounts configured to couple releasably and interchangeably a first stroller frame configuration and a second stroller frame configuration different from the first stroller frame configuration to the body, wherein the second stroller frame mount is slidably mounted to the body to move between an in-use position and a fold position so that a respective stroller frame configuration coupled to the first and second stroller frame mounts can fold relative to the modular chassis.
A modular chassis of a stroller system, comprising:
- a body;
- and
- at least one stroller frame mount on and slidably mounted to the body, the at least one stroller frame mount configured to couple releasably and interchangeably a first stroller frame configuration and a second stroller frame configuration different from the first stroller frame configuration to the body, wherein the at least one stroller frame mount comprises
- a shuttle slidably mounted to the body;
- a tube having a first end, a second end, and an intermediate portion mounted to the shuttle;
- a first latch member at a first end of the tube;
- and
- a second latch member at a second end of the tube, the first and second latch members being configured to couple releasably and interchangeably the first and second stroller frame configurations to the body.
