This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) on Patent Application No(s). 202110122285.6 filed in China on Jan. 28, 2021, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present disclosure relates to a baby stroller, and in particular to a removable seat baffle and a baby stroller and a baby carrier having the seat baffle.
Generally, a baby stroller includes a frame and a baby carrier mounted on the frame, wherein the frame is a basic structure for supporting the baby carrier. Also, the frame can also be folded to reduce the size of the baby stroller to facilitate carrying and storage, and the baby carrier can enclose a safe and comfortable space for a baby to sit and lie in.
Conventionally, the baby carrier includes a seat for carrying a baby, side blocks on both sides of the seat, and a rear block at a rear end of the seat, wherein the end of the baby carrier opposite to the rear block is open. For kids with longer bodies, when sitting and lying in the baby carrier, the feet can extend from the front end of the baby carrier without being restricted, and the comfort can be guaranteed. However, for small babies, there may be a risk that the baby slips out of the front end of the baby carrier. Thus, in another structure of baby carriers, a seat baffle is disposed for covering the front end of the seat to safely restrict the baby in the baby carrier. In fact, the relevant laws and regulations of some countries also clearly require that the stroller and baby carrier used for babies younger than 6 months must be equipped with a seat baffle.
Therefore, the current baby strollers are divided into two types, with and without baffles. For families with babies, the stroller with the baffle is first used, and the stroller without the baffle is used when the baby is 6 months old or has a certain degree of physical development. For families with children of different ages, it is also necessary to have two types of strollers at the same time. In this case, it will increase the household's expense, and on the other hand, since baby strollers are often discarded after they are useless, it also causes waste of resources and pollution to the environment.
The above problems are all caused by the insufficient applicability of the stroller, i.e., the conventional strollers cannot be applied to both big and small babies. In order to solve the above problems, it is necessary to provide a stroller with high applicability and a baffle structure that is beneficial to improve the applicability of the stroller.
It is an object of the present disclosure to provide a baffle structure for improve applicability of a stroller.
It is another object of the present disclosure to provide a stroller with high applicability.
It is another object of the present disclosure to provide a baby carrier having a baffle cloth for shielding when in use, and the baffle cloth can be stored when not in use.
In order to achieve the above objects, the present disclosure provides a seat baffle disposed in a baby carrier, wherein the baby carrier includes a seat and a support rod erected relatively to the seat and straddling a front end of the seat, the seat baffle includes a baffle cloth, which has one end connected to the front end of the seat and the other end detachably fixed to the support rod to cover the front end of the baby carrier.
In the present disclosure, the front end of the baby carrier is open, and the seat baffle is disposed on a front end of a main body, wherein one end of the baffle cloth is fixed to the seat, and the other end of the baffle cloth is detachably fixed to the support rod. When the baffle cloth is fixed on the support rod, the front end of the main body is shielded; at this time, the baby carrier is a completely restricted structure, which can be used for babies less than 6 months old or small in size. When the baffle cloth is detached from the support rod, the front end of the main body is not shielded by the baffle cloth and becomes open; at this time, the baby carrier is can be used for babies older than 6 months or big in size. In comparison with the conventional technologies, the seat baffle of the present disclosure can be switched between two usage statuses in the baby carrier, such that the baby carrier can be used for babies of different sizes, which is beneficial to improve the applicability of the stroller, and thus saves family consumption expenditure, reduces waste of resources, and reduces pollution to the environment.

Preferably, the seat includes a seat plate and a seat cloth sleeved on the seat plate, and one end of the baffle cloth is fixed to the seat cloth.
Specifically, the baffle cloth is sewn and fixed to the seat cloth.
Preferably, the baby carrier comprises a first connecting component, and the baffle cloth comprises a second connecting component for locking a position of the baffle cloth when the second connecting component is coupled with the first connecting component.
Specifically, the baby carrier further comprises side blocks disposed on both sides of the seat and a rear block fixed to a rear end of the seat, and the first connecting component is disposed on the side block.
Specifically, the first connecting component and the second connecting component are engaged with each other.
More specifically, the first connecting components and the second connecting components are a male button and a female button of press buttons.
Preferably, a storage bag is disposed at a bottom surface of the seat, and the baffle cloth is received into the storage bag after being separated from the support rod.
Specifically, a plurality of third connecting components are disposed on the baffle cloth, a plurality of fourth connecting components are disposed on the bottom surface of the seat, and the third connecting components and the fourth connecting components are engaged after the baffle cloth is received in the storage bag.
Specifically, the storage bag is a mesh structure made of an elastic material.
Preferably, the support rod is covered by one end of the baffle cloth.
Specifically, one end of the baffle cloth comprises a zipper, and the baffle cloth covers the support rod and is fixed to the support rod by the zipper.
Preferably, the support rod is detachably disposed across the front end of the seat.
In order to achieve another object, the present disclosure provides a baby stroller having a frame and a baby carrier disposed on the fame, wherein the baby carrier includes a main body and the above-mentioned seat baffle.
In comparison with the conventional technologies, the seat baffle can be switched between the two usage statues, i.e. shielding the front end of the baby carrier body and being removed, so that the baby stroller of the present disclosure can be applied to babies of different sizes.
Preferably, the frame includes two side bars, and the baby carrier is disposed between the two side bars.
Specifically, two ends of the support rod are detachably mounted on the two side bars, respectively.
A baby carrier includes a seat; and a baffle cloth for shielding an upper side of the seat, wherein the baffle cloth has one end fixed to a front end of the seat, and has the other end detachably disposed on a side surface of the seat, and wherein a storage bag is disposed at one side of the seat, and the baffle cloth is received in the storage bag after being detached from the seat.
