refers to a twc-seater children's pram-pushchair.

Different models of two-seat-er children's pram pushchairs are already known, created for twins, usuall comprising a frame with four or six sets of wheels upon which one double-width seat or two sinale seats or carry-cots are assembled side by side. These seats cr Carry-cots are usually placed o:D 1,-. 1 n c f v: a E 2, i bakwar.-1s.

The problem with these pram-pusicha-,rE: is thEir wIdth which hinders their passing through norm.al.-w-ldth doors. To solve this problem, there are a-lsc r-,;c.--ceater put---h7ha.,rs whose width is similar to that of conventic-nal .-.-am-push--hairs, where the seats aie arranced' c-ne t- h e --, t h er In this case the pushchair is particular!-,, -c.,.o, making it dif-ficult tc fold up and with its not fitting into a car boot. In order to reduce this lencth -.n as far as possible, in some cases tne matter of the -d's comfort has been simplified using seats 7n which L the cli,.'ild cannot lie flat.

The chiect of this invention is tc a -- h 1 e,i c a w o.r ch ldren's prampushchair in which the chileren 1e w -,own without the device beina excessively long Z-n-4 of a normal width, with the additional advantaze -h.ldrer, can sit one in front of the other or looninj az and with --Is even t-) use r-ne se-at and one carry-cot for --ransn,2itina ti,.,o chi--,dre.-, ---c-eren aces.

- r The two stretches of the two side bars on the different levels include a device to lock and unlock the fixture of the seats and carry-cot assembled on them.

These and other features are better understood from the detailed description that follows, to facilitate which two sheets of drawings are att-ached where a practical case of the embodiment mentioned is shown; this is provided merely as a non-rest,-icti-,.,e of the scope of this present inventlon.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 shows the side elevation of the frame cf the pushchair in question.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of that frame, and Figures 3, 4 andúrepresent, s2hematical'LY, some of the different positions cf the seats and carry-cot.

According to the drawings, the pram-pushchair includes a foldable frame 1- presenting, characteristically, two side bars -2- and -3- each one of which formed by facing stretches -4- and -5- on different levels. Of these, stretches -4-, which are higher, are the front ones whereas stretches -5-, which are 'Lower, are the rear ones.

in this case, the side bars are coup--ed ty means of 3c-ints to the frame of the pram-pushchair. Thus. the h--ahe-r fr-)nt stretches -4- are j.-inte,--J at an intermediate p.,--)int -6- at- the ends of the branches of a f-l7--st U-shaped s,.,ppcrt -7- which is jointed underneath by points -5- to the ends of the branches of the handle in an inverted U snape slIding alona those branches along the front the frame when the pram-pushchair is fc)--de--' mjeanwhile, the rear stret,--^ie-z -5- o--.: t'he side ba--s -2- and -3- are jointed a-- an intermediate point - !I- to an intermediate point:f the --f a second support in a U-shape -12- at tne hirher end -13- --'A-e BAC) ORIGINAL 3 2 '; are jointed to dif fferent brackets -14- coupled to the front feet -10- and underneath -13- they are jointed to the rear feet -15-; these, at their higher end -16- are jointed to different brackets -17- linked to the braCketsof the handle -9-.

The st,-,-etches -4- and -5- of the side bars are equipped with devrices 18- tc lock and unlock the fixtures of the correspcnding seats -Acomprisina a jointed back-rest -R- and lea-rest -P- and.5 a carry-ccz C-; the seats and the ca.-r,-cot Can be equipped a h c) c,.
