1. An actuating mechanism for a foldable stroller, the foldable stroller including a foldable frame having a handle tube, and two cables, said actuating mechanism comprising: a mounting housing adapted to be disposed on the handle tube; a disk disposed in said mounting housing and adapted to be connected rotatably to the handle tube, said disk having a periphery formed with a notch, and a control lever extending outwardly of said mounting housing, said disk being adapted to permit the cables to be fastened thereto at two diametrically opposed positions, respectively, said control lever being pushable in a lever-driving direction to rotate relative to said mounting housing to thereby move the cables relative to each other; a safety latch disposed in said mounting housing and having an engagement member engaging said notch in said disk, and a pushbutton pushable in a pushbutton-driving direction opposite to said lever-driving direction so as to remove said engagement member from said notch in said disk, thereby allowing for rotation of said disk in said mounting housing and, thus, folding of the foldable stroller; and a resilient member disposed between said mounting housing and said safety latch for biasing said engagement member of said safety latch to engage said notch in said disk.
