Abstract

A transport vehicle has an upper frame, a chassis and a pair of folding frame units. The vehicle may be folded into compact position by collapsing the folding frame units allowing the rotation of the upper frame toward the chassis. The vehicle is easy to manufacture and offers a simplified folding procedure over previously known vehicles. The vehicle may used as a trailer, a stroller or a sled and may be convertible therebetween.
