Claim 17:
18. The method of claim 16, further comprising rotating the handle into a collapsed position, wherein the handle comprises:
a first handle tube and a second handle tube, wherein the first handle tube is slidably coupled within the second handle tube,
an inner support lock coupled to an outer support lock and configured to slide between a locked position and an unlocked position,
a first bottom handle support coupled to the rear leg tube and configured to secure the outer support lock when the handle is positioned in the first operable position and the outer support lock is in the locked position,
a handle safety stop positioned on the hub and configured to secure the inner support lock when the handle is positioned in the first operable position and the inner support lock is in the locked position, and
a handle storage detent positioned on the hub and configured to secure the inner support lock when the handle is in the second operable position and the inner support lock is in the locked position,
wherein the first handle tube is configured to slide within the second handle tube to contact the inner support lock and the outer support lock, disengaging the inner support lock and the outer support lock from the locked position to the unlocked position,
wherein the handle safety stop is configured to resist rotation of the handle into the first operable position unless the handle is in the unlocked position, thereby preventing injuries to occupants of the stroller,
wherein the handle is configured to rotate between the first operable position and the second operable position when in the unlocked position, and
wherein rotating the handle into a collapsed position comprises:
sliding the first handle tube within the second handle tube to contact the inner support lock and the outer support lock, thereby disengaging the inner support lock and the outer support lock from the locked position to the unlocked position, and
rotating the handle past the handle safety stop to reach the collapsed position.
