Abstract
Abstract A foldable baby carriage also having a handle bar (3) shiftable from a forward to a reverse position. Within a lower portion on each side of the handle bar (3) is located a slider casing (8) containing two sliders (81). Each slider (81) holds a bar (9) projecting through the casing of the handle bar (3) to engage either a locking mechanism for the handle bar (3) or a locking mechanism for folding the carriage. The sliders (81) are connected by cable (10) threaded through the interior of the handle bar (3) to two pivoting operation levers (11) at the top of the handle bar (3). The top of the handle bar is composed of two hard resin parts joined together and supporting the operation levers (11).
