Abstract:
1. A stroller seat comprising: a seat bottom having a forward end and a rear end; a calf support pivotally connected to the seat bottom about a pivot axis adjacent the forward end and pivotable between a lowered position and a raised position relative to the seat bottom; a positioning mechanism coupled to the calf support and reconfigurable between an engaged arrangement and a released arrangement, the positioning mechanism configured, when in the engaged arrangement, to retain the calf support in a selected position selectable from among at least the lowered position and the raised position; and a release actuator on the calf support, the release actuator including a rod extending in a widthwise direction relative to the calf support and having a portion arranged to selectively engage the positioning mechanism in the engaged arrangement, the release actuator configured to move the rod parallel to the widthwise direction of the calf support and relative to the positioning mechanism to disengage the portion of the rod from the positioning mechanism in the released arrangement, wherein the positioning mechanism is configured, whether in the engaged arrangement or the released arrangement, to allow the calf support to move from the lowered position to the raised position, and wherein the positioning mechanism is configured, when in the engaged arrangement, to prevent the calf support being moved from the raised position to the lowered position and, when in the released arrangement, to permit the calf support to move from the raised position to the lowered position.
