A caster-supporting device for a baby stroller includes a sleeving secured to a stroller body. A connector is inserted into the sleeving and is retained on the sleeving by engaging the window of the sleeving with the resilient retaining member of the connector. The retaining member may be pressed to disengage from the window so as to remove the connector from the sleeving. A rotating body has a fixed circular tube inserted into the annular groove of the connector and carries a caster axle which extends therethrough. A vertical pin extends through the circular tube into the connector. A sliding body can slide on the connector and has two arms which flank the connector. The arms have vertical slide slots in which a horizontal pin slides. The horizontal pin extends through the connector and the upper end portion of the vertical pin so as to retain both the rotating body and the sliding body on the connector. When the sliding body is moved to engage the opening of the connector and the locking hole of the rotating body with the spring-biased locking element of the sliding body, relative rotation between the rotating body and the connector is prevented. When the sliding body is moved to engage the positioning hole with the locking element, the rotating body is locked on the connector.

A baby stroller including a stroller body and a caster unit, said caster unit including a caster wheel, a caster axle, and a caster-supporting device for mounting said caster axle on said stroller body, said caster-supporting device comprising: a rotating body provided for extension of said caster axle therethrough and including a fixed circular tube fixed thereon which is perpendicular to said caster axle and has two aligned locking holes formed through two opposed walls thereof; a connector including an upper end insertion portion with a resilient retaining member disposed on an upper end portion thereof, a circular tubular groove formed in a lower end surface of said connector so as to engage with an upper end of said circular tube, a cylindrical hole formed in said lower end surface of said connector at center of said circular tubular groove, two pin holes formed through two opposite side walls of said connector in communication with an upper end portion of said cylindrical hole, a slideway formed in a side wall of said connector, an opening formed through a side wall of said connector in alignment with said locking holes of said rotating body, and a positioning hole formed through said side wall of said connector in communication with said slideway; a sliding body including a slide plate secured thereto sliding within said slide slot in a direction parallel to said circular tube, a spring-biased locking element carried on said slide plate and engagable with one of said locking holes and said opening when said slide plate moves to a predetermined position, and two slide slots formed through said sliding body on two opposite sides of said connector, said locking element being normally engaged with said positioning hole, thereby allowing for relative rotation between said rotating body and said connector; a sleeving secured to said stroller body and having a window formed in a wall thereof which is engaged with said retaining member so as to retain said insertion portion of said connector within said sleeving, said retaining member being capable of being pressed to disengage from said window; a vertical pin extending, through said circular tube, into said cylindrical hole of said connector and having a pin hole formed transversely through an upper end portion thereof; and a horizontal pin extending through said slide slots of said sliding body, said pin holes of said connector and said pin hole of said vertical pin and having two diameter-increased heads formed on two ends thereof so as to retain said horizontal pin within said slide slots of said sliding body; whereby, said sliding body can be moved relative to said connector so as to engage both said locking holes and said opening with said locking element, thereby interlocking said rotating body and said connector against relative rotation therebetween.
