Abstract
Abstract A baby carriage is formed of a plurality of rod members forming an upper frame, a front lower frame and a rear lower frame. The upper frame may be folded downwardly over the front frame and the rear frame folded against the front frame. A seat fabric material is slung over the upper portion of the front frame in a seat guard member which extends outwardly from the front frame. The rod members are held upright in the operative position by a collapsible brace assembly which includes a biasing spring for aiding the movement of the parts into a collapsed position.
