At the same time, the second folding bar 12 is also folded toward the rear leg 17.

As shown in fig. 12 and 13, when the first folding bar 11, the second folding bar 12, and the front leg 16 are folded, the bar bodies 172 of the first folding bar 11, the second folding bar 12, the front leg 16, and the rear leg 17 are substantially parallel, thereby utilizing the space to the maximum extent and reducing the folding volume as much as possible.

When the first folding bar 11 rotates toward the second folding bar 12, the lower end of the first folding bar 11 rotates out of the locking groove 122, and the locking groove 122 is empty. The locking groove 122 may also be used to engage with the rod body 172 of the rear leg 17 and achieve locking when the first folding bar 11 is in a folded state towards the second folding bar 12. The rod body 172 of the rear supporting leg 17 can be further clamped in the locking groove 122 of the second folding rod 12, locking is achieved, and the folding state is kept stable.

And, since the front wheel 161 is of a coaxial double-wheel structure, the locking member 121 of the second folding bar 12 and the bar body 172 of the rear leg 17 are just embedded between the two tires of the front wheel 161. The front leg 16, the rod 172 are embedded just between the two tires of the rear wheel 17. The limited space is reasonably utilized, so that the folded volume of the folding baby stroller is as small as possible.

One end of the seat tube 50 is hinged to the second link 14, and the other end of the seat tube 50 is telescopically arranged in the middle of the second folding bar 12. The seat tube 50 is positioned inside the second link 14 and the second folding bar 12, and interference is avoided. The seat can be sleeved on the seat tube 50, and when the second connecting rod 14 rotates to adjust the seat tube 50 to stretch and retract relative to the second folding rod 12, the seat can be driven to fold or unfold so as to be suitable for different use states.

As shown in fig. 13, when the folding stroller is in the folded state, at least one end of the folding stroller can form a flat supporting surface, so that the folding stroller can be directly placed on the ground vertically through the supporting surface, thereby facilitating the storage of the folding stroller.

For example, the two connection parts 173 of the folding stroller may form a horizontal supporting surface, and the folding stroller may be directly erected on the ground. Similarly, the lower end surface of the first folding bar 11 and the outer end surface of the front wheel 161 of the child folding cart may be positioned on the same horizontal support surface, or the child folding cart 1 in the folded state may be directly erected on the ground.

The structure of the folding cart for children will be further described with reference to the folding process of the folding cart for children:

first, the handle lever 20 is retracted into the first folding lever 11 by depressing the handle 21.

The handle 21 is pressed by downward and forward force, so that the first folding rod 11 is folded towards the second folding rod 12, the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 are driven to rotate, and the included angle between the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 is changed. Meanwhile, the second connecting rod 14 drives the third connecting rod 15 to rotate close to each other, and the second connecting rod 14 and the third connecting rod 15 drive the pull rod 40 to move outwards to pull the front supporting leg 16 to rotate close to the rear supporting leg 17. Therefore, the first folding bar 11 and the second folding bar 12 are close to the rear supporting leg 17, and the front supporting leg 16 is also close to the rear supporting leg 17, so that the child folding cart is finally in a folded state.

The folding cart for children is restored to an open state from a folded state, and is the reverse process of the corresponding process. And will not be described in detail herein.

Therefore, the folding stroller for children not only realizes convenient storage, but also utilizes the space to the greatest extent, so that the folded folding stroller for children has smaller volume, can be directly carried for riding, avoids handling and transportation, and is convenient to carry and use.
