Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a stroller stand for preventing a stroller from tipping over backward. The stroller stand is designed for lightweight, foldable strollers known as “umbrella” strollers. Strollers often tip over backward when a child is removed from the stroller seat before bags or packages present weighing on the stroller handles are removed. The stroller stand consists of an elongated member or stand that is attached to the stroller and folds up to a stored position that is flush with the frame of the stroller. When deployed, the stroller stand extends diagonally from the back of the stroller and touches the ground, acting to counterbalance any additional weight of the handles of the stroller. The stroller stand is lightweight and attaches to various types of stroller frames with customized adapters.
