An improved wheel attachment mechanism for securing wheels to a child vehicle, such as a stroller or a carriage. The mechanism comprises a leg attachment member which is removably securable to a leg of the vehicle. An intermediate housing is removably secured to the leg attachment member and has a support surface for mating frictional engagement with an abutment wall of the leg attachment member to form a swivel joint to permit swivelling of the leg attachment member about a swivel post. The swivel joint is protected by an inverted cup member. A wheel axle housing is also removably secured to a suspension portion of the intermediate housing whereby the entire attachment mechanism may be dimantled by removable fasteners for servicing or repair of the wheel attachment mechanism.
