A wheeled carrier device is provided which, in one embodiment, includes a plurality of foldable walls supported on a base member and movable between an erected state wherein the walls define a carrier space and a collapsed state wherein the walls are folded on top of the base member. The carrier device has at least two wheels and a wheel mounting assembly pivotably mounts the wheels on the device on opposite sides thereof such that, in one embodiment, the wheels are movable through 270° from a first, operative position wherein the wheels support the carrier device and a second, inoperative position wherein upon release of a latching mechanism the wheels are folded over on top of the folded walls in the collapsed state thereof. A handle is affixed to the carrier device and is movable between an operative state wherein the handle can be used to pull the carrier device and an inoperative state wherein the handle is stowed in substantially flush relation with the remainder of the carrier. In other embodiments, the wheels are pivoted through 90° to the stowed state thereof. In some embodiments, one or more of the wheels is rotatable about a support axle and various arrangements are provided for fixating the wheels against rotation. In other embodiments, some of the same basic principles are used in a collapsible stroller/jogger as well as in a collapsible "fun car" for children.

The apparatus in claim 1, wherein said wing/control surface actuation system comprises a differential with one input and two outputs wherein a single rotational input selectably controls one of an actuation of the wing/control surface assembly and a servo control of the control surface. 7. The apparatus in claim 6, wherein said differential comprises: a first bevel gear to provide a rotational force input; and a second bevel gear meshed to said first bevel gear such that rotation of said first bevel gear causes said second bevel gear to provide a selectable one of a first output and a second output. 8. The apparatus in claim 7, wherein said second bevel gear is positioned at a 90 degree angle to said first bevel gear. 9. The apparatus in claim 7, wherein said first output causes said control surface to rotate about a rotation axis with respect to the wing. 10. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said second output causes said wing/control surface assembly to extend outward with respect to the guided munition to a predetermined position. 11. The apparatus in claim 7, wherein a selected one of said first output and said second output is selected when a non-selected one of said first output and second output is restricted. 12. The apparatus of claim 7, wherein said first output is restricted through the use of a guide block that prevents said control surface from rotating after said control surface clears a stow notch. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, wherein said guide block comprises a height reference, said height reference corresponding to the deployed position of the wing/control surface assembly. 14. The apparatus in claim 7, further comprising a spring loaded pin moveably mounted in the guided munition frame, the wing further comprising a pin hole, and wherein the second output is restricted by engaging the pin in the pin hole. 15. The apparatus in claim 2, wherein the control surface retainer comprises: a control surface hinge mounted to the wing; a stow notch fixed in a frame of the guided munition to secure the control surface to the frame; and wherein a rotation of the control surface about a rotational axis releases the control surface from the notch. 16. The apparatus of claim 2, wherein said wing/control surface assembly comprises a differential with one input and two outputs wherein a single rotational input selectably controls one of an actuation of the wing/control surface assembly and a servo control of the control surface. 17. The apparatus in claim 16, wherein said differential comprises: a first bevel gear to provide a rotational force input; and a second bevel gear meshed to said first bevel gear such that rotation of said first bevel gear causes said second bevel gear to provide a selectable one of a first output and a second output. 18. The apparatus in claim 17, wherein said second bevel gear is positioned at a 90 degree angle to said first bevel gear. 19. The apparatus in claim 17, wherein said first output causes said control surface to rotate about a rotation axis with respect to the wing. 20. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein said second output causes said wing/control surface assembly to extend outward with respect to the guided munition to a predetermined position. 21. The apparatus in claim 17, wherein a selected one of said first output and said second output is selected when a non-selected one of said first output and second output is restricted. 22. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein said first output is restricted through the use of a guide block that prevents said control surface from rotating after said control surface clears a stow notch. 23. The apparatus of claim 22, wherein said guide block comprises a height reference, said height reference corresponding to the deployed position o
