A folding baby carriage comprises a body so constituted that a seat and a backrest part approach each other in a folding operation, and a luggage basket positioned under the seat. The luggage basket comprises a front frame extending backward and forward under the seat, a rear frame turnably connected to a rear end of the front frame and extending backward and forward, and a lock mechanism preventing the rear frame being turned around the front frame. The rear frame is turned so as to take a lower position in which a rear part of the luggage basket is opened, a horizontal position in which it extends almost horizontally, and an upper position in which its rear end approximates the backrest part. The lock mechanism comprises horizontal position fixing means for fixing the rear frame in the horizontal position.

What is claimed is: 1. A folding baby carriage having a seat and a backrest part, comprising: a body so constituted that the seat and the backrest part approach each other in a folding operation; and a luggage basket positioned under said seat, wherein said luggage basket comprises a front frame extending backward and forward under said seat, a rear frame turnably connected to a rear end of said front frame and extending backward and forward, and a lock mechanism selectively preventing said rear frame from being turned around said front frame, said rear frame is turnable selectively so as to take a lower position in which a rear part of said luggage basket is opened, a horizontal position in which said rear frame extends almost horizontally, and an upper position in which a rear end of said rear frame approximates said backrest part, and said lock mechanism comprises horizontal position fixing means for selectively fixing said rear frame in the horizontal position. 2. The folding baby carriage according to claim 1, wherein when said rear frame is in said upper position, said rear frame is allowed to be turned around said front frame, and said baby carriage comprises a connecting member connecting said rear end of said rear frame in said upper position to said body. 3. The folding baby carriage according to claim 1, wherein said rear frame has a U-shaped configuration comprising a pair of side frames extending backward and forward and a rear end frame connecting rear ends of the pair of side frames, said lock mechanism comprises a pair of displacement members which can be displaced backward and forward at front ends of said pair of side frames, engaging means for engaging with said pair of displacement members at the rear end of said front frame to fix the position of said rear frame, and unlocking means for canceling an engaging state between said pair of displacement members and said front frame, and said unlocking means comprises an operation member movably mounted on said rear end frame so that a position of said operation member can be changed, and a connecting member connecting said operation member and said pair of displacement members. 4. The folding baby carriage according to claim 1, wherein said rear frame has a U-shaped configuration comprising a pair of side frames extending backward and forward and a rear end frame connecting rear ends of the pair of side frames, said lock mechanism comprises a pair of displacement members which can be displaced backward and forward at front ends of said pair of side frames, engaging means for engaging with said pair of displacement members at the rear end of said front frame to fix the position of said rear frame, and unlocking means for canceling an engaging state between said pair of displacement members and said front frame, and said engaging means comprises an engagement recess which accepts a respective one of said displacement members when said rear frame is in the horizontal position so as to prevent said displacement member and said rear frame from being turned upwardly or downwardly relative to said front frame, a stopper which abuts on said displacement member from beneath when said rear frame is in the lower position to prevent said displacement member and said rear frame from being turned farther downward relative to said front frame, and an abutment guide face which abuts on a tip end of said displacement member when said rear frame is in the upper position to allow said displacement member and said rear frame to be turned relative to said front frame. 5. A luggage basket for a baby carriage comprising: a front frame extending backward and forward under a seat of the baby carriage and being fixed to a baby carriage body of the baby carriage; a rear frame turnably connected to a rear end of said front frame and extending backward and forward; a lock mechanism selectively preventing said rear frame from being turned around said front frame; and a container hanging from said front frame and said rear frame, wherein said rear frame is turnable selectively to take a lower position in which a rear part of said container is opened, a horizontal position in which said rear frame extends almost horizontally, and an upper position in which a rear end of said rear frame approximates a backrest part of the baby carriage, and a said lock mechanism comprises horizontal position fixing means for fixing said rear frame in said horizontal position. 6. A foldable baby carriage comprising: a carriage body including a seat and a backrest that are pivotable relative to one another, a pair of front legs carrying front wheels at bottom ends thereof, a pair of rear legs carrying rear wheels at bottom ends thereof, and a pushrod extending generally upwardly and tilted rearwardly, wherein at least said front legs, said rear legs and said pushrod are pivotally interconnected to enable said carriage body to be selectively folded between an unfolded condition and a folded collapsed condition; and a storage basket arranged under said seat and said backrest, and including a front frame that is pivotally connected to said front legs and extends from said front legs rearwardly beyond said rear legs, a rear frame that is pivotally connected to said front frame at left and right pivot points located rearwardly from said rear legs so that said rear frame is pivotable about said pivot points upwardly and downwardly relative to said front frame selectively to an upper position in which said rear frame extends generally upwardly and rearwardly proximate to and along said pushrod, a lower position in which said rear frame tilts downwardly from said left and right pivot points below a plane of said front frame, and a middle position in which said rear frame extends rearwardly from said left and right pivot points at an angular position between said upper and lower positions, a lock mechanism that is coupled to said front and rear frames and that is configured and adapted to selectively lock said rear frame and prevent pivoting of said rear frame about said pivot points relative to said front frame at least at said middle position of said rear frame, and a flexible basket body connected to and hanging downwardly from said front frame and said rear frame with an opening into said basket body bounded at least partially by said rear frame. 7. The foldable baby carriage according to claim 6, wherein said carriage body further includes a pair of pivot brackets having lower ends thereof respectively pivotally connected to said rear legs and upper parts of said pivot brackets pivotally connected to lower ends of said pushrod and to middle parts of said front frames. 8. The foldable baby carriage according to claim 6, wherein said carriage body further includes a pair of handrail members to which upper ends of said front and rear legs are pivotally connected, and which have rear ends of said handrail members respectively pivotally connected to a middle part of said pushrod. 9. The foldable baby carriage according to claim 6, wherein said seat is supported from beneath on said front frame.
