[0020] In order to further explain the principle and structure of the present application, preferred embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. However, these embodiments are only for the purpose of explanation and interpretation, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] The terms used herein are merely used to describe certain embodiments and are not intended to limit the scope of the present application. In this application and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "the," and "the" include the plural forms unless the surrounding text clearly indicates otherwise. In addition, the term "and / or" used herein means any or all combinations of one or more of the listed items.

[0022] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a stroller frame of a stroller according to the present application, and FIG. 2 is a schematic view of an auxiliary cushion of the stroller according to the present application.

[0023] The stroller according to the present application may include a stroller frame 30 as shown in Fig. 1. Optionally, the stroller according to the present application may have other types of stroller frames. The stroller frame 30 may include a seat 40 (see Fig. 3). The seat 40 is a member for carrying an infant, and may include a cushion for supporting the infant's thighs and buttocks, and a backrest for supporting the infant's back and head.

[0024] Fig. 3 is a partial schematic diagram of a stroller according to the first embodiment of the present application, and Fig. 4 is a schematic side view of a shoulder belt assembly according to the first embodiment of the present application. Fig. 4 shows each member as a module, and does not show the specific way in which the fixed belt and the adjustment belt are wound.

[0025] A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below.

[0026] The seat 40 is provided with a seat belt assembly 10 for restraining an infant, thereby preventing the infant from accidentally falling out of the stroller when the stroller is moving.

[0027] The seat belt assembly 10 may include a shoulder belt assembly 100, a lap belt assembly 300, an abdominal belt assembly 400, and a central locking member 500. The shoulder belt assembly 100 and the lap belt assembly 300 may be fixed to a backrest of the seat 40, and the abdominal belt assembly 400 may be fixed to a cushion of the seat 40. The central locking member 500 may be fixed to one end (free end) of the abdominal belt assembly 400 that is away from the cushion. The shoulder belt assembly 100 and the lap belt assembly 300 are detachably fixed to the central locking member 500 to put the seat belt assembly 10 into use.

[0028] 3 and 4, the shoulder belt assembly 100 and the lap belt assembly 300 may be provided symmetrically on both sides of the seat 40. In the following description, only the shoulder belt assembly 100 and the lap belt assembly 300 on one side will be described. It will be understood that the description of the shoulder belt assembly 100 and the lap belt assembly 300 on one side can be similarly applied to the shoulder belt assembly 100 and the lap belt assembly 300 on the other side.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 2, the auxiliary cushion 20 is an independent cushion and may be provided on the backrest of the seat 40. The auxiliary cushion 20 may have an upper opening 210 and a lower opening 220. The upper opening 210 and the lower opening 220 may be provided in two symmetrical positions. The auxiliary cushion 20 covers a part of the shoulder belt assembly 100 and the hip belt assembly 300, thereby allowing the back of the baby to rest against a relatively flat surface, improving comfort during use. The shoulder belt assembly 100 can pass through the auxiliary cushion 20 through the upper opening 210. The hip belt assembly 300 can pass through the auxiliary cushion 20 through the lower opening 220.

[0030] An engagement sheet 230 may be provided on the back surface of the auxiliary cushion 20. An upper side of the engagement sheet 230 may be fixed to the upper side of the auxiliary cushion 20. FIG. 2 shows the engagement sheet 230 in a lifted up state. The engagement sheet 230 may be provided with a fastener 231 for coupling to the main body of the stroller. One fastener 231 may be provided on each side of the engagement sheet 230. Alternatively, the engagement sheet 230 may have other numbers of fasteners 231, for example, one or three. The fasteners 231 may be, for example, snaps, hasps, Velcro (registered trademark), etc.

[0031] The shoulder belt assembly 100 may include a fixed belt 110 having both ends fixed to the seat 40, an adjustment member 130 slidably mounted on the fixed belt 110, and an adjustment belt 120 connected to the adjustment member 130 so as to allow length adjustment.

[0032] As shown in FIG. 3, one end (e.g., the upper end) of the fixing belt 110 is detachably fixed to the seat 40. The shoulder belt assembly 100 may further include a load receiving portion 160. The load receiving portion 160 may be formed as a lateral webbing and may be fixed to the backrest of the seat 40. The load receiving portion 160 may be formed as two lateral webbings, and the two lateral webbings may be spaced apart from each other by a certain distance. The load receiving portion 160 may be integrally formed. A buckle 150 may be fixed to the upper end of the fixing belt 110, and a buckle loop 140 may be formed in the load receiving portion 160. The buckle 150 may pass through the buckle loop 140 and be detachably fixed to the load receiving portion 160, so that the fixing belt 110 may be detachably fixed to the backrest of the seat 40. The buckle 150 cannot pass through the buckle loop 140 in the opposite direction by pulling the fixing belt 110 after the buckle 150 has passed through the buckle loop 140. If the buckle 150 needs to pass through the buckle loop 140, the buckle 150 needs to pass through the buckle loop 140 at a specific angle or path. The lower end of the fixing belt 110 may be sewn directly to the backrest of the seat 40 or the webbing at the bottom of the load receiving portion 160.

[0033] Optionally, the upper end of the fixing belt 110 is fixed in an unremovable manner, while the lower end of the fixing belt 110 is removably fixed to the seat 40 or the load receiving portion 160. Optionally, both ends of the fixing belt 110 are removably fixed to the seat 40 or the load receiving portion 160.

[0034] 3, the vertical direction described herein is the up-down direction in Fig. 3, while the horizontal direction described herein is the left-right direction in Fig. 3. Note that, since the shoulder belt assembly 100 has a plurality of flexible members, the vertical and horizontal directions are approximate directions but are not strictly vertical and horizontal.

[0035] The fixing belt 110 is provided with an adjustment member 130 so as to be slidable. The adjustment member 130 may be formed as a housing having a horizontal rod in the middle. The fixing belt 110 can pass through the adjustment member 130 from one side of the horizontal rod, bypassing the horizontal rod, and then pass through the adjustment member 130 again in the opposite direction from the other side of the horizontal rod. The adjustment member 130 may be slidably fixed to the fixing belt 110 in other ways.

[0036] The adjustment belt 120 can form a free end 121 by passing through the adjustment member 130 and extending in the opposite direction. The adjustment belt 120 can pass through the adjustment member 130 from one side of the other horizontal rod of the adjustment member 130, bypass the other horizontal rod, and then pass through the adjustment member 130 again from the other side of the other horizontal rod along the opposite direction. A member for fitting into the central lock member 500 and locking it may be formed on one end of the adjustment belt 120 away from the free end 121. The shoulder belt assembly 100 can further include a restraining ring 170 that can be fitted on the outside of the adjustment belt 120 and restrain the free end 121. The restraining ring 170 can slide on the adjustment belt 120. Depending on the length of the free end 121, the restraining ring 170 can move to a position close to the end of the free end 121 and restrain the free end 121 to the adjustment belt 120. In this way, the adjustment belt 120 can be in a neater position without being scattered. The adjustable belt 120 is slidably fixed to the fixed belt 110 in another manner. The fixed belt 110 may be tensioned between its ends, i.e., the distance between the positions where the fixed belt 110 is fixed by both ends is approximately equal to the length of the fixed belt 110. The fixed belt 110 may be provided at a slight incline, for example, in the shape of an inverted V in Fig. 3. Generally, the higher the shoulders of an infant, the wider the shoulders will be, so providing the fixed belt 110 at a slight incline like this allows it to accommodate larger infants.

[0037] By pulling on the free end 121, the length of the adjustment belt 120 can be shortened (thereby shortening the overall length of the shoulder belt assembly 100), whereas by pulling on the adjustment belt 120, the length of the adjustment belt 120 can be increased.

[0038] By sliding the adjustment member 130 on the fixed belt 110, the length of the shoulder belt assembly 100 can be changed and the fixed position of the adjustment belt 120 can be changed. Since the fixed belt 110 is covered by the auxiliary cushion 20, when the shoulder belt assembly 100 is used, the shoulder of the baby contacts only the adjustment belt 120. The adjustment member 130 can be adapted to babies with different shoulder heights by sliding on the fixed belt 110 and changing the fixed position of the adjustment belt 120, so that the shoulder belt assembly 100 applies only a restraining force to the backrest of the seat 40 on the baby but does not apply a pushing force.

[0039] FIG. 5 is a partial schematic view of a stroller according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is a schematic side view of a shoulder belt assembly according to the second embodiment of the present invention.

[0040] The second embodiment of the present invention is similar to the first embodiment, and only the differences will be described below.

[0041] Both ends of the fixing belt 110 are fixed (for example, by sewing) in an undetachable manner to the load receiving portion 160 (if the load receiving portion 160 is not present, the fixing belt 110 may be fixed to the backrest of the seat 40). That is, the fixing belt 110 is not provided with a buckle 150 at the end thereof, and the load receiving portion 160 is not formed with a buckle loop 140.
