The detailed configuration of the switch 168 will be described later.
Unlike the illumination unit 162a, the illumination unit 162b is not formed with a battery, a battery arrangement region 165, or the like. Thus, the illumination unit 162b that forms the switch 168 and the illumination unit 162a that arranges the battery are separated. Thus, the illumination units 162a and 162b can be efficiently arranged in the guard member 160.
Note that unlike the present embodiment, the switch 168 may be provided on both sides of the two illumination units 162a and 162b.

As described above, since the illumination part 162a and the like are arranged integrally with the guard member 160, there is no problem that the illumination part 162a is caught on the operator's clothes and the like when the stroller 100 is operated. There is no possibility that an infant riding the vehicle will mischief the lighting units 162a and 162b and cause a failure to the lighting unit 162a or the like. In addition, the illumination unit 162a and the like are not easily damaged, and have a high safety configuration during use.
Furthermore, since it is possible to prevent an infant from being injured, the safety of the stroller 100 when used can be increased.

By the way, as shown in FIG.1 and FIG.2, the illumination parts 162a and 162b are each arrange | positioned in the vicinity of the both-sides edge part of the guard member 160 arrange | positioned in the width direction which is the direction which cross | intersects the advancing direction R of the stroller 100. ing.
Accordingly, the lighting units 162a and 162b are turned on, so that the size in the width direction of the stroller 100 can be easily recognized by a third party even when the surroundings are dark, such as at night. Since the driver of the inside car or the like can recognize the size of the stroller 100, safety is improved when the stroller 100 is used.

In the present embodiment, since the guard member 160 is disposed on the tip side of the armrest portion 150a and the like, the illumination portion 162a and the like are on the leading side in the traveling direction R of the stroller 100 and in the vicinity of the infant. Is arranged (see FIG. 1).
Since the illumination part 162a etc. are arrange | positioned in the part which drivers | operators, such as a motor vehicle etc. which are drive | working a road, are easy to visually recognize, it becomes the structure which the safety | security at the time of use of the stroller 100 increases.

  In the present embodiment, the LED 163 is described as an example of the light emitter. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the light emitter may be other illumination means such as a light that allows an assistant to check the road surface. Further, the power source is not limited to the battery, and may be configured to emit light by a power generation means that accompanies rotation of the front wheel portion 130a or the like, or a power source that stores sunlight.

(About attachment and detachment of the guard member 160)
FIG. 4 is a schematic perspective view showing a state where the guard member 160 is attached to the armrest 150b of FIG. FIG. 5 is a schematic perspective view in which the armrest cover 150c is omitted to show a state in which the guard member 160 is removed from the armrest portion 150b of FIG. FIG. 6 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing an engagement state between the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 and the armrest portion attaching / detaching portion 151 of FIG. 5.
As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the guard member 160 is configured to be easily attached to or removed from the armrest 150 b of the stroller 100.
That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the guard member 160 has a guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169, and the armrest portion 150b has an armrest portion side attaching / detaching portion 151.
And the guard member 160 is attached to the armrest 150b by inserting the guard member detachable portion 169 into the armrest detachable portion 151.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 is formed with an engaging recess 169 a having a groove shape for engaging with the armrest portion side attaching / detaching portion 151. .
Further, an engaging convex portion 151a is formed on the armrest side attaching / detaching portion 151 corresponding to the engaging concave portion 169a.
Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 is inserted into the armrest portion side attaching / detaching portion 151, and the engaging concave portion 169 a and the engaging convex portion 151 a are engaged, whereby the guard member 160 is It is configured to be attached to the armrest 150b.
In this embodiment, the armrest portion side attaching / detaching portion 151 itself is formed in a concave shape, and the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 having a generally convex shape is inserted. The part 169 may be concave, and the armrest part side attaching / detaching part 151 having a convex shape may be inserted. Similarly, the relationship between the engaging concave part 169a and the engaging convex part 151a may be reversed.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 6, for example, an engagement maintaining spring 151 b that is an engagement maintaining means for maintaining the engagement state with the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 is formed in the armrest portion attaching / detaching portion 151. .
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6, the engagement maintaining spring 151b is configured to always press the engagement convex portion 151a toward the engagement concave portion 169a. For this reason, once the engagement convex portion 151b and the engagement concave portion 169a are engaged, the engagement is not easily released.
Therefore, the guard member 160 is prevented from being accidentally detached during use of the stroller 100.

Moreover, the armrest part side attaching / detaching part 151 includes, for example, a releasing piece 151c which is an engagement releasing means for releasing the engagement state by the engagement maintaining spring 151b. The release piece 151c is connected to the engagement convex portion 151a and the engagement maintaining spring 151b. When the release piece 151c is moved in the direction of the arrow X in FIG. 6, the release maintenance spring 151b is similarly moved in the direction of the arrow X. It moves, and it is the structure which the engagement convex part 151a also moves in connection with this.
That is, when a guardian who is a user of the stroller 100 moves the release piece 151c in the direction of the arrow X, the release maintenance spring 151b is also deformed in the direction of the arrow X, and is engaged with the release maintenance spring 151b. The convex portion 151b is also moved in the arrow X direction.
Thereby, engagement with the engagement convex part 151a and the engagement recessed part 169a is cancelled | released, and it will be in the state which can remove the guard member 160 from the armrest part 150b.

In addition, the armrest portion side attaching / detaching portion 151 is formed with, for example, a discharge spring 151 d that is a discharging means for moving the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 from the armrest portion side attaching / detaching portion 151 in the discharging direction.
That is, the discharge spring 151d is configured to apply an urging force in the direction of arrow Y in FIG. 6, and thus always presses the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 in FIG. 6 in the direction of discharging from the armrest portion side attaching / detaching portion 151. It has a configuration. For this reason, when a guardian or the like operates the release piece 151c and the engagement between the engagement recess 169a and the engagement projection 151a is released, the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 is armrested by the biasing force of the discharge spring 151d. It is automatically moved in the discharge direction from the part side attaching / detaching part 151.
Therefore, a guardian or the like can easily pull out the guard member 160 from the armrest portion 150b, and can easily attach and detach the guard member 160.
Unlike the present embodiment, when the engagement convex portion 151a is provided on the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 side, the engagement maintaining spring 151b and the release piece 151c may be provided on the guard member 160 side. 151d may be arranged on the guard member 160 side.
In this embodiment, the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 169 and the armrest portion side attaching / detaching portion 151 are provided on both sides of the guard member 160. However, the guard member side attaching / detaching portion 151 may be formed on one side and the other may be rotated.

FIG.11 (b) is a schematic block diagram which shows the main software structures of the principal part of the stroller of this Embodiment.
Since many configurations of the stroller of the present embodiment are the same as those of the stroller 300 of the second embodiment, the same configurations are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Hereinafter, differences will be mainly described. . In addition, since the illumination part 462b is the structure similar to the illumination part 462a, below, the illumination part 462a is demonstrated to an example.
As shown in FIG. 11A, the stroller illumination unit 462a of the present embodiment has, for example, an illuminance sensor 462aa that is an illuminance detection unit that detects the illuminance around the stroller. Further, the CPU 369a, the RAM 462ab, the ROM 462ac, the driver 362ab, the LED 163, and the like are included.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 11B, the stroller illumination unit 462a of the present embodiment emits light that determines whether or not the LED 163 needs to be turned on (emission) or turned off based on the detection result of the illuminance sensor 462aa. A determination unit 462ad is formed.
The illumination unit 462a is also provided with an LED control unit 462ae that turns on or off the LED 163 based on the result of the light emission determination unit 462ad.
For this reason, when the periphery of the stroller becomes dark, the illuminance sensor 462aa detects the darkness, and the light emission determination unit 462ad determines the necessity of turning on or off the LED 163 based on information set in advance. And if the light emission judgment part 462ad judges that lighting is required, LED163 will light. On the other hand, if the light emission determining unit 462ad determines that it is not necessary to turn on the LED 163, the LED 163 is not turned off or turned on.
Therefore, a baby stroller user does not operate a switch or the like to turn on the LED 163, and the LED 163 automatically emits light when the surroundings become dark. As a result, the safety when using the stroller is improved. A switch may be provided together with the illuminance sensor so that the user can select it.
