Benefits of technology

The present invention provides strollers that allow for easy and quick movement of components between different positions. The strollers have various features such as collapsible wheels, movable support structures, and drive mechanisms. These features enable the strollers to be easily moved and controlled, making them more convenient and user-friendly.

Problems solved by technology

However, current strollers do not allow for movement or folding to as compact of a configuration as desired, and are cumbersome and sometimes difficult to move between their collapsed (closed) position and their open (operative) positions, particularly when attending to a baby or child.
