1. A child carrier having a front and a rear, comprising:a frame structure including a front fork assembly, a rear support structure, and a handle portion, a seat connected to the frame structure, a front wheel connected to the front fork assembly, and a pair of rear wheels connected to the rear support structure, first and second lateral hinge assemblies connecting the front fork assembly, the rear support structure, and the handle portion, the hinge assemblies defining a rotational transverse axle, wherein the handle portion is adjustable between plural operating positions and at least one collapsed position by pivoting around the rotational transverse axis, each of the plural operating positions being configured for pushing the carrier from the rear. 2. The child carrier of claim 1, wherein the rear support structure is substantially U-shaped.3. The child carrier of claim 1, wherein the handle portion is substantially U-shaped.4. The child carrier of claim 1, wherein the handle portion has plural operating positions arranged substantially along an arc.5. The child carrier of claim 1, wherein the handle portion has plural operating positions arranged substantially along a line oriented vertically relative to the ground.6. The child carrier of claim 1, wherein each rear wheel is connected to the rear support structure by an axle support having a brake device for selectively stopping or permitting rotation of the rear wheel.7. A child carrier comprisinga frame structure, including a front fork assembly, a rear support structure, and a handle portion, a seat connected to the frame structure, a front wheel connected to the front fork assembly, a pair of rear wheels connected to the rear support structure, and first and second lateral hinge assemblies connecting the front fork assembly, the rear support structure, and the handle portion, wherein the handle portion is selectively adjustable between plural operating positions and at least one collapsed position each hinge assembly having a first handle device for freeing the carrier to move between collapsed and operable positions, and a second handle for adjusting the operable position of the handle. 8. The child carrier of claim 7, wherein the rear support structure is substantially U-shaped.9. The child carrier of claim 7, wherein the handle portion is substantially U-shaped.10. The child carrier of claim 7, wherein the plural operating positions of the handle plural are arranged substantially along an arc.11. The child carrier of claim 7, wherein the plural operating positions of the handle are arranged substantially along a line oriented vertically relative to the ground.12. The child carrier of claim 7, wherein each rear wheel is connected to the rear support structure by an axle support having a brake device for selectively stopping or permitting rotation of the rear wheel.13. A child carrier having a front and a rear, comprising:a frame structure including a front fork assembly, a rear support structure, and a handle portion, first and second lateral hinges connecting the front fork assembly, the rear support structure, and the handle portion a seat connected to the frame structure, a front wheel connected to the front fork assembly, and a pair of rear wheels connected to the rear support structure, wherein the hinge assemblies permit selective rotation of the handle portion between plural operating positions around a transverse axis, while maintaining a locked orientation between the front fork assembly and the rear support structure, each of the plural operating positions being configured for pushing the carrier from the rear. 14. A child carrier, comprising:a frame structure including a front fork assembly, a rear support structure, and a handle portion, a seat connected to the frame structure, a front wheel connected to the front fork assembly, a pair of rear wheels connected to the rear support structure, and a pair of hinge devices connecting the front fork assembly, the rear support structure, and the handle portion, wherein each hinge device has a first handle device for freeing the carrier to move between collapsed and operable positions, each first handle device being movable to a position that allows a user to use both hands to collapse the carrier. 15. The child carrier of claim 14, wherein the hinge devices permit collapsing of the carrier so that the front fork assembly, rear support structure, and handle portion are substantially parallel to each other.
