Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to a car seat for infants and toddlers and, more particularly, to a car seat for infants and toddlers which is convertible into a stroller and vice versa.
- Car seats which convert into strollers, and vice versa are generally known in the art. These convertible car seats typically have a retractable wheel assembly comprising four wheels which can be retracted so that the stroller converts into a car seat which can be secured to the fixed car seats of an automobile. In order to convert this type of car seat into a stroller, the seat is unfastened from the fixed car seat of the automobile and the wheel assembly is deployed so that the car seat functions as a baby stroller when the wheels are deployed.
- One disadvantage of the typical car seat which converts into a stroller, and vice versa is that the wheel assembly usually adds a relatively large amount of weight to the seat thereby rendering the seat somewhat unwieldy and difficult to attach it to and remove it from the fixed car seat of the automobile.
- the weight of the wheel assembly is generally attributable to the fact that the wheel assembly comprises four wheels and associated hardware.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,595,393, issued Jan. 21, 1997 discloses an infant car seat stroller which can be converted from a car seat into a stroller, and vice versa.
- the car seat comprises a first set of wheels which are attached to a flat bar bracket which, in turn, is affixed to a bottom portion of the seat.
- the seat includes a retractable pivoting support on the bottom thereof which is modified by drilling a hole through it and by inserting an axle on which a secondary set of wheels is mounted. This allows the second set of wheels to be retracted so that only the first set of wheels is utilized.
- This secondary set of wheels disclosed by Batten corresponds to the back wheels of the car seat. This secondary set of wheels can be retracted to allow the car seat stroller to be pulled across the ground using only the front wheels.
- One of the primary disadvantages of this design is that it only allows the stroller to be pulled in a rearward direction because pushing the stroller with only front wheels would be very awkward and impractical.
- This design also requires that the user bear most of the weight of the unit and the infant or toddler while lifting up on the handle since there are no wheels to provide vertical support in the two-wheel drive mode. Also, it appears from the text of this patent that the design is only intended to be used with infants, which typically corresponds to children under the weight of 20 lbs.

Description
- The present invention relates generally to a car seat for infants and toddlers and, more particularly, to a car seat for infants and toddlers which is convertible into a stroller and vice versa.
- Car seats which convert into strollers, and vice versa, are generally known in the art. These convertible car seats typically have a retractable wheel assembly comprising four wheels which can be retracted so that the stroller converts into a car seat which can be secured to the fixed car seats of an automobile. In order to convert this type of car seat into a stroller, the seat is unfastened from the fixed car seat of the automobile and the wheel assembly is deployed so that the car seat functions as a baby stroller when the wheels are deployed. One disadvantage of the typical car seat which converts into a stroller, and vice versa, is that the wheel assembly usually adds a relatively large amount of weight to the seat thereby rendering the seat somewhat unwieldy and difficult to attach it to and remove it from the fixed car seat of the automobile. The weight of the wheel assembly is generally attributable to the fact that the wheel assembly comprises four wheels and associated hardware.
- Batten, U.S. Pat. No. 5,595,393, issued Jan. 21, 1997, discloses an infant car seat stroller which can be converted from a car seat into a stroller, and vice versa. This patent discloses that the car seat comprises a first set of wheels which are attached to a flat bar bracket which, in turn, is affixed to a bottom portion of the seat. The patent discloses that the seat includes a retractable pivoting support on the bottom thereof which is modified by drilling a hole through it and by inserting an axle on which a secondary set of wheels is mounted. This allows the second set of wheels to be retracted so that only the first set of wheels is utilized.
- This secondary set of wheels disclosed by Batten corresponds to the back wheels of the car seat. This secondary set of wheels can be retracted to allow the car seat stroller to be pulled across the ground using only the front wheels. One of the primary disadvantages of this design is that it only allows the stroller to be pulled in a rearward direction because pushing the stroller with only front wheels would be very awkward and impractical. This design also requires that the user bear most of the weight of the unit and the infant or toddler while lifting up on the handle since there are no wheels to provide vertical support in the two-wheel drive mode. Also, it appears from the text of this patent that the design is only intended to be used with infants, which typically corresponds to children under the weight of 20 lbs.
- Accordingly, a need exists for a car seat which is convertible into a stroller, and vice versa, which overcomes the weight disadvantages of the four-wheel convertible car seat strollers by utilizing only two wheels, and which overcomes the disadvantages of the known two-wheel strollers associated with the lack of vertical support for the unit and child when the stroller utilizes only two wheels.
- The present invention provides a car seat stroller assembly which can be converted from a child car seat into a child stroller, and vice versa. The car seat stroller assembly comprises a child car seat which can be removably secured to a fixed car seat of an automobile, a wheel assembly secured to the seat body at a location near the rear end of the bottom portion of the seat body, and a handle assembly secured to the seat body at a location along the back portion of the seat body.
- The car seat stroller assembly preferably consists of two wheels which are rotatably mounted to an axle of the wheel assembly. The wheel assembly can be placed in a retracted position to enable a user to secure the car seat stroller assembly to the fixed car seat of the automobile, or in an extended position in which the wheels extend below the bottom portion of the seat body to enable the car seat stroller assembly to be operated as a child stroller.
- In accordance with a first embodiment of the present invention, the car seat stroller assembly utilizes a child car seat which is currently available on the market. The child car seat is retrofitted with the wheel and handle assemblies of the present invention. One child car seat which is suitable for this purpose is sold by Century Products Company. This seat body of the child car seat is retrofitted by attaching the wheel assembly to a protruding portion of the seat body. This protruding portion, which is known as the “Posilock” feature of the car seat, protrudes from the seat body at a location near the rear end of the bottom portion of the seat body and near the bottom end of the back portion of the seat body.
- The protruding portion of the child car seat is secured to the seat body in a hinging relationship to allow the protruding portion to be retracted and extended. In the extended position, the protruding portion is normally inserted in between the back and bottom cushions of a fixed automobile car seat to assist in securing the child car seat in place in the automobile. The protruding portion can be retracted to allow a user, e.g., a parent, to easily handle the child car seat when it is being removed from and inserted into the automobile. By attaching the wheel assembly to this existing feature on the car seat, the wheel assembly can be easily extended and retracted by extending and retracting the protruding portion of the child car seat.
- Preferably, the front end of the bottom portion of the seat body has a braking mechanism thereon which substantially prevents the car seat stroller assembly from moving when the braking mechanism is in contact with the floor or the ground.
- In accordance with a second embodiment of the present invention, the wheel assembly can be suitably attached to any child car seat, including, but not limited to the above-mentioned Century Products Company child car seat. In accordance with this embodiment, the wheel assembly comprises two side members which are transverse to the axle of the wheel assembly. Each side member has a first end, a second end, a first side and a second side. The first ends of the side members are attached to the axle of the wheel assembly.
- In accordance with this embodiment, when the wheel assembly is placed in the extended position, a first notch formed in each of the second ends of the side members engages a respective pin secured to sides of the seat body. This prevents the wheel assembly from movement in a direction toward the wheels and in a direction away from the bottom end of the back portion. When the wheel assembly is placed in the retracted position, a notch formed in each of the first sides of the side members engages those same pins. This prevents the wheel assembly from movement in a direction away from the back portion of the seat body.
- In accordance with another embodiment of the present invention, which is the preferred embodiment for the wheel and handle assemblies, the handle assembly is linked to the wheel assembly by a linkage in such a way that when the handle assembly is extended, the wheel assembly is extended until the pins secured to the sides of the seat body are engaged in the first notches formed in the ends of the side members. When a user lifts the seat body in an upwards direction away from the wheels, the pins are removed from the notches formed in the ends of the side members. When the handle assembly is retracted, the linkage causes the wheel assembly to be retracted until the pins are engaged in the notches formed in the sides of the side members.
- Other features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, drawings and claims.

wheel assembly 2 is attached to theinsertion member 11 via afastening device 14, which may be, for example, screws, bolts, rivets, adhesives, etc. When thewheel assembly 2 is in the extended position, as shown in FIG. 2A, thewheels 3 extend below the bottom surface of theinsertion member 11 so that when the wheels are in contact with the ground, they filly support thecar seat 6. Theinsertion member 11 hinges about a horizontal axis (not shown) to allow it to be extended and retracted. When thewheel assembly 2 is in the extended position, theinsertion member 11 to which thewheel assembly 2 is attached locks into place so that the wheels cannot retract when the car seat stroller assembly is operating in the stroller mode. - The
car seat 6 is also retrofitted with ahandle assembly 5 which comprises twovertical tube members handle assembly 5 to be extended and retracted. Thehandle assembly 5 is attached to the car seat viabrackets car seat body 6, and bymating tube portions vertical tube members openings mating tube portions brackets car seat 6 via an attachment mechanism such as, for example,bolts horizontal support member 29 secures thevertical tube members back 32 of thecar seat body 6 and prevents thevertical tube members vertical tube members - When operating the car
seat stroller assembly 1 in the stroller mode, mechanism comprised of lockingmembers horizontal support member 29 provide a mechanism for releasing and locking thevertical tube members members vertical tube members vertical tube members mechanisms vertical tube members vertical tube members - The
wheel assembly 2 is extended manually by simply pulling theinsertion member 11 or one or more of thewheels 3 in a direction away from the bottom 43 of theseat body 6 to thereby rotate thewheel assembly 2 into the extended position. In order to retract thewheel assembly 2, the user simply pushes thewheel assembly 2 in a direction toward the bottom 43 of thecar seat body 6. Theinsertion member 11 is known as the “Posilock” feature of the Century Products Company car seat. - It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to use with any particular type or brand of car seat. The Century car seat was chosen in accordance with this embodiment due to the Posilock Feature, which makes the Century Products Company car seat very suitable for retrofitting with the
wheel assembly 2 of the present invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that a wheel assembly identical or similar to thewheel assembly 2 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2A can be attached to the bottom and rear portion of any child car seat. However, it should be noted that, regardless of the car seat with which the retrofitting assembly of the present invention is implemented, it is important that the wheel assembly be attached to the bottom and rear portion of the car seat because this location allows the stroller to be pushed or pulled with a high degree of maneuverability. - FIG. 2B is a bottom perspective view of the car
seat stroller assembly 1 which illustrates thewheel assembly 2 in the retracted position. This view also illustrates thefront brakes 44, which preferably are rubber blocks secured to the front, bottom portion of thecar seat body 6. Thebrakes 44 prevent the bottom 43 of thecar seat body 6 from being scratched when the front, bottom portion of thecar seat body 6 is placed against the ground or floor. Thebrakes 44 allow the assembly to be securely placed at rest. - In the retracted position, the
wheels 3 are flush against thebody 6 of the car seat. Two substantiallyU-shaped support members body 6 of the seat. By using theseU-shaped support members wheels 3 with thewheel assembly 2, thewheels 3 are held snugly against the sides of thecar seat body 6 and thus do not substantially extend beyond the sides of thecar seat body 6 when thewheel assembly 2 is in the retracted position. This feature of the present invention enables the carseat stroller assembly 1 to be easily handled by a user when securing it to and removing it from the fixed automobile car seat (not shown). Furthermore, in the retracted position, thewheel assembly 2 and thewheels 3 slightly expand the effective base of the seat thereby providing it with additional lateral support when it is secured to the fixed automobile car seat. - FIG. 3A illustrates a cross-sectional rear perspective view of the car
seat stroller assembly 50 of the present invention in accordance with a second embodiment. In accordance with this embodiment, when thewheel assembly 55 is in the extended position to place the carseat stroller assembly 50 in the stroller mode, thewheels 57 are disposed below thebottom surface 59 of thebody 52 of thecar seat 52. In this position, thewheel assembly 55 and thewheels 57 provide total vertical support for the carseat stroller assembly 50. The handle assembly used in this embodiment is substantially identical to thehandle assembly 5 shown in FIGS. 1, 2A and 2B in that it comprises verticaltubular members openings tubular mating portions tubular mating portions brackets - When the car
seat stroller assembly 50 is in the stroller mode, i.e., when thewheel assembly 55 is fully extended and locked into place, pins 81, which are secured tobrackets U-shaped slot 85. TheU-shaped slot 85 is of sufficient length to prevent the possibility of thepin 81 coming out of theslot 85 when the carseat stroller assembly 1 is operational in the stroller mode. Also, a bolt andwasher assembly 87 is sufficiently tight to maintain a constant amount of pressure and friction between thebrackets transverse members 89 of thewheel assembly 55. - FIG. 3B illustrates the car
seat stroller assembly 50 with thewheel assembly 55 partially retracted, i.e., between the fully-extended and fully-retracted positions. In order to retract thewheel assembly 55, the user simply lifts thebody 52 of thecar seat assembly 50 so that thepin 81 is moved in an upward direction until it is out of theslot 85 and then thewheel assembly 55 is folded in an upward direction until thepins 81 are received in theslots 88 of thetransverse members 89 of thewheel assembly 55. Theslots 88 are L-shaped so that once thepins 81 have been received in theslots 88, thepins 81 are moved vertically relative to theslots 88 until thepins 81 abut the ends of theslots 88 closest to thewheels 57. The mating ofpins 81 with theslots 88 substantially prevents lateral and vertical movement of thepins 81 within theslots 88 when thewheel assembly 55 is in the retracted position. Any movement of thewheel assembly 55 when it is in the retracted position is prevented by the friction fit created by the bolt andnut assembly - When the
wheel assembly 55 is in the fully-retracted position (not shown), thewheels 57 are disposed against the sides of thecar seat body 52 and are completely unobtrusive. By closely adapting thewheel assembly 55 to the shape of thecar seat body 52, the carseat stroller assembly 50 can be easily handled by the user when the user is placing the assembly in and removing the assembly from the vehicle. - FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate the wheel and handle assembly of the present invention in accordance with the preferred embodiment. In accordance with this embodiment, the wheel assembly and handle assembly are linked together in such a manner that retraction of the handle effectuates retraction of the wheel assembly and extension of the handle assembly effectuates extension of the wheel assembly. The
handle assembly 101 is pivotally attached on each end thereof to a linkingmember 103 by afastening device 104. Thefastening device 104 allows rotational movement of thehandle assembly 101 with respect to the linkingmember 103 while also securing them together. Those skilled in the art will note that this rotational arrangement can be achieved in a plurality of different ways which are well known to those skilled in the art. - A linking
member 106 is rotationally secured on oneend 107 to thewheel assembly 102 and on theother end 108 to thehandle assembly 101. FIG. 4A illustrates thehandle assembly 101, the linkingmember 103 and thewheel assembly 102 when the handle andwheel assemblies portion 109 of thehandle assembly 101 intended to be gripped by the user is rotated in a clockwise and downward direction toward thewheel assembly 102, thelower end 111 of thehandle assembly 101 is rotated upwards away from thewheel assembly 102 thereby exerting an upward force on theend 108 of the linkingmember 106. This upward force exerts an upward force on theend 107 of the linkingmember 106 which, in turn, causes thewheel assembly 102 to be pulled into the retracted position shown in FIG. 4A. - Conversely, when the
wheel assembly 102 is in the fully-retracted position and theend 109 of thehandle assembly 101 is rotated upwards in the counter-clockwise direction away from thewheel assembly 102, theend 111 of thehandle assembly 101 is rotated in the downwards in the counterclockwise direction toward thewheel assembly 102. This causes a downward force to be exerted on theend 108 of the linkingmember 106 which, in turn, causes a downward force to be exerted on theend 107 of the linkingmember 106, thus causing thewheel assembly 102 to be rotated in the downward direction until it is fully extended, as shown in FIG. 4B. - As with the embodiments shown in FIGS.2A-3B, in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the
wheel assembly 102 containsslots slots bolt arrangement 115 is utilized in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B in the same manner in which the nut andbolt assembly wheel assembly 55 in place. - It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiments discussed above with respect to FIGS.1-4B. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to any particular type of arrangement or configuration for the handle and wheel assemblies implemented with the car seat stroller assembly of the present invention. The embodiments discussed above are intended to demonstrate the various advantageous features of the present invention, but those skilled in the art will understand that the invention is not limited to these particular features. Those skilled in the art will understand that other modifications, deletions and adaptations can be made to the embodiments discussed above which are all within the scope of the present invention.
