Claim:
A stroller seat assembly comprising: a seat bottom having a forward end and a rear end; a calf support pivotally connected to the seat bottom adjacent the forward end and pivotable between a lowered position and a raised position relative to the seat bottom; a lock mechanism on one end of the calf support, the locking mechanism having a lock gear biased into engagement with a drive cam, the lock gear adapted to lockingly engage a hub on the forward end of the seat bottom and adjacent a side edge at one end of the calf support, in a locked arrangement, retaining the calf support in a selected one of the raised and lowered positions; and a pivotable release actuator on the seat assembly actuable between a locked position associated with the locked arrangement of the lock mechanism and a released position that reconfigures the lock mechanism to a released arrangement, wherein the release actuator is squeezed and pivoted inward by one hand of a user when actuated to the released position, releasing the lock gear from engagement with the hub, whereby the calf support is selectively pivotable toward either of the raised and lowered positions by the one hand simultaneously squeezing the release actuator.
