Patent ID: 7588256

Claim:
A coupler for two umbrella strollers, each of which strollers has a tubular frame with two sides, each of which sides has two wheel assemblies and a front down tube, a handle, and a rear down tube, the coupler comprising: (a) a receptacle having an open top, a bottom, a front wall, a rear wall, and two side walls, each side wall having a front, top, and rear, the distance between the side walls defining the width of the receptacle and being about two to ten inches; and (b) a set of three resilient C-shaped clips extending outwardly from each side wall, each set of clips adapted to frictionally fit onto the tubular frame of a stroller, a first clip at the front of each side wall adapted to fit onto the front down tube, a second clip at the top of each side wall adapted to fit onto the handle, and a third clip at the rear of each side wall adapted to fit onto the rear down tube; such that a connection of the coupler to two strollers places the strollers in a side-by-side position with a sufficient distance between them to prevent any contact between the wheel assemblies of the strollers.
