The stroller frame 202 is further defined with a stroller frame legs 204, which include the wheels 203 thereon. Moreover, the stroller frame legs 204 are hollow and include telescoping legs 205 that are able to extend and retract from the stroller frame legs 204 in order to immobilize or mobilize the wheels 203.

(15) The baby stroller 201 includes a U shaped swinging member 210 that attaches to and extends down from a swing arm member 220. The U shaped swinging member 210 includes hook members 211 at distal ends, and which attach hook onto a swing arm motor armature 230. The swing arm motor armature 230 is an extension from a swing arm motor 231 housed within a swing arm housing 232 provided on both sides of the baby stroller 201. The swing arm motor armature 230 includes a swing arm bracket 235 provided on a distal end, which extends downwardly and engages against the U shaped swinging member 210 in order to securely lock the swing arm motor armature 230 movement with the U shaped swinging member 210 (refer to FIGS. 5A-B).

(16) The swing arm motors 231 work in concert to collectively swing or rotate the U shaped swinging member 210 back and forth with respect to the baby stroller 201. Moreover, the swing arm motors 231 are electrical, and electrically powered via at least one battery 238 located elsewhere with respect to the baby stroller 201. Moreover, an on/off switch 239 is provided in-line between the battery(s) 238 and the swing arm motors 231.
