My invention consists in a new or improved vehicle for the use of children.

handle at the back.
Attached to the said body are shafts, in the form of trap shafts, below which
is a platform attached at one end by suitable connections to the carriage body, and

means of its pivot (which is attached to the said platform) can be revolved or is
turnable to any angle required, at the will of the propeller of the carriage.
Upon the said platform is carried a toy or wooden horse which is provided with
harness like a real horse, a pair of reins is also joined and passed to the occupant
of the carriage.
The carriage is propelled by the nurse, and the child holds the reins in imitation
of real driving.
A whip (with holder) is also provided.
