Patent ID: 8499898

Claim:
A braking system for a stroller comprising: a single brake pedal positioned near a first rear wheel of the stroller; a braking cam operationally coupled to the brake pedal and rotatable around a pivot point from a first position to a second position; and a brake lever having a first end configured to contact the braking cam when the braking cam is in the second position and a second end having a plurality of teeth configured to engage at least one gear driven by the first rear wheel of the stroller when the braking cam is in the second position, wherein a first depression of the brake pedal causes the braking cam to rotate around the pivot point from the first position to the second position, thereby causing the teeth of the brake lever to engage the at least one gear to prevent rotation of the first rear wheel, and a second depression of the brake pedal causes the braking cam to rotate around the pivot point from the second position to the first position, thereby causing the teeth of the brake lever to disengage the at least one gear to allow rotation of the first wheel, and wherein the braking cam and the brake pedal are separate components.
