Abstract
Abstract A guard for a baby carriage in which armrests have fitting holes facing a front surface and a guard has fitting pipes which are insertable into these fitting holes. Each of the fitting pipes has a biased tab which is engageable with a engagement hole at the side of a cylidrical hole at the back of the fitting hole. An opening button, at the bottom of the arm rest, releases the biased tab for the removal of the guard. Planar covers with rear projections are fittable into the fitting holes.
