A device for use in conjunction with strollers for securely connecting single strollers together, allowing two or more children, to be safely and effectively transported. The stroller connecting device(s) are easily detachable. The apparatus comprises an adjustable supporting member with a clamping, or other fastening, mechanism at each end. The clamping mechanisms, generally, have two jaws, rotatably connected to one another to grasp and lock a stroller shaft. The fastening mechanism preferably fastens securely onto the shafts of the strollers, providing stable operation during movement. Each jaw, of the fastening mechanism, receives and firmly grasps one shaft of the stroller. The support is preferably comprised of two tubes, with the relative position of the tubes to one another being adjustable, and thus, allowing the distance from one stroller to the other to be variable. Together, the supporting member and fastening mechanisms allow the connecting apparatus to securely, safely and rigidly connect two or more strollers. The stroller connecting devices are generally placed in two of three locations on the shafts of each stroller. Usually, two connecting devices are sufficient to provide the necessary control and stability.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A stroller connecting device for securely connecting the shafts of a plurality of strollers together, thereby allowing the strollers to operate in tandem, comprising:at least one fastening mechanism, adapted to receive a stroller shaft, so as to attach a plurality of strollers together, wherein the fastening mechanism comprises:a first jaw, with a first and second end, secured to one end of the means for support, wherein the first jaw receives the shaft of the stroller; anda second jaw, with a first and second end, rotatable connected to the first jaw, wherein the second jaw closes about the shaft received in the first jaw, so as to secure the device to the stroller;wherein the second ends of the first and the second jaws each have an outer surface, a cylindrical void, and a means for biasing the second jaw towards the first jaw comprising:a rod disposed within the cylindrical void of the first and second jaws;a spring attached to the rod; andwhereby the application of pressure to the outer surfaces of the second ends of the first and second jaws allows the first end of the second jaw to retreat from the end of the first jaw, thereby allowing the shaft to be removed from the fastening mechanism;support member having two ends, at least one of the member ends firmly attached to the fastening mechanism; andwhereby the support member aliens the fastening mechanism so that the strollers operate cooperatively, and the support member connects the strollers securely to ensure safe operation.
