Abstract
Abstract An organizing apparatus for an umbrella-type baby stroller provides a plurality of readily accessible pockets. The apparatus has a seat segment which has an elastic strap to attach the apparatus to the seat of the stroller. One or more pockets are provided on a back segment of a fabric body cover sized to fit the stroller. This back segment hangs over a back member of the stroller. Because this back segment hangs at or before the back wheels of the stroller, great weight may be carried by the apparatus without causing the stroller to tip over.
