A mechanism for switching the wheels of baby stroller between a fixed-direction mode and a free steering mode by a far-end controller drives a positioning member through a connecting member. The positioning member is used to catch and fix the wheel seat of the stroller into the fixed-direction mode, and is also capable of releasing the wheel seat back into the freeing steering mode. The far-end controller enables a user to shift the mode of steering without bending down, and eliminates the need to suspend the front wheel while steering the baby stroller, in order to change direction.

What is claimed is: 1. A fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller, comprising: a base seat secured at the front end of the frame of baby stroller; a wheel seat for pivotally connecting the wheel, the wheel seat including a pivot shaft and a positioning portion, and the pivot shaft being pivotally connected to the base seat to make the wheel seat capable of freely rotating with respect to pivot shaft; a positioning member pivotally connected to the base seat and capable of being engaged with the positioning portion of the wheel seat in order to limit rotation of the wheel seat; a resilient element provided between the positioning member and the base seat, to allow the positioning member to remain engaged with the wheel seat; and a far-end controller installed on the frame of the baby stroller, the far end controller employing a connecting member to connect the far-end controller with the positioning member, and driving the positioning member, whereby the positioning member separates from the positioning portion, and maintains a released state or an engaged state through the connecting member, thereby permitting the user to selectively switch the wheel seat between a fixed-direction mode and a free steering mode; the far-end controller being installed at a handle provided at the frame of baby stroller and further includes a securing seat, a pulling member, a push button, and a restoring spring, the other end of the connecting member being connected to the pulling member to make the connecting member drive the positioning member to turn through the turning of the pulling member, said push button being movable in the transverse direction of the baby sroller by manual actuation of the push button. 2. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base seat further includes a fastener for limiting the separation of the pivot shaft of the wheel seat from the base seat, by engaging the fastener with a limiting ring provided at the distal end of the pivot shaft. 3. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 1, wherein the positioning portion of the wheel seat is a recess. 4. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 1, wherein a shock-resistant spring is provided at the wheel seat. 5. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 1, wherein the positioning member further includes a connecting end and a salient block; the colmecting end being connected to an end of the connecting member, and the salient block entering the positioning portion to engage positioning. 6. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 1, wherein the resilient element is a compression spring. 7. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting member is a steel cable. 8. A fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller, comprising: a base seat secured at the front end of the frame of baby stroller; a wheel seat for pivotally connecting the wheel, the wheel seat including a pivot shaft and a positioning portion, and the pivot shaft being pivotally connected to the base seat to make the wheel seat capable of freely rotating with respect to pivot shaft; a positioning member pivotally connected to the base seat and capable of being engaged with the positioning portion of the wheel seat in order to limit rotation of the wheel seat; a resilient element provided between the positioning member and the base seat, to allow the positioning member to remain engaged with the wheel seat; and a far-end controller installed on the frame of the baby stroller, the far end controller employing a connecting member to connect the far-end controller with the positioning member, and driving the positioning member, whereby the positioning member separates from the positioning portion, and maintains a released state or an engaged state through the connecting member, thereby permitting the user to selectively switch the wheel seat between a fixed-direction mode and a free steering mode, said wheel seat having a top with a recess to form the positioning portion, the positioning member pivoting about a fixed point to engage the positioning portion, said positioning member having a first part transverse to a second part whereby the second part engages the positioning portion and the first part is pivoted about an end opposite the second part. 9. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 8, wherein the base seat further includes a fastener for limiting the separation of the pivot shaft of the wheel seat from the base seat, by engaging the fastener with a limiting ring provided at the distal end of the pivot shaft. 10. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 8, wherein the positioning portion of the wheel seat is a recess. 11. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 8, wherein a shock-resistant spring is provided at the wheel seat. 12. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 8, wherein the positioning member further includes a connecting end and a salient block; the connecting end being connected to an end of the connecting member, and the salient block entering the positioning portion to engage positioning. 13. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 8, wherein the resilient element is a compression spring. 14. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 8, wherein the connecting member is a steel cable. 15. A fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller, comprising: a base seat secured at the front end of the frame of baby stroller; a wheel seat for pivotally connecting the wheel, the wheel seat including a pivot shaft and a positioning portion, and the pivot shaft being pivotally connected to the base seat to make the wheel seat capable of freely rotating with respect to pivot shaft; a positioning member pivotally connected to the base seat and capable of being engaged with the positioning portion of the wheel seat in order to limit rotation of the wheel seat; a resilient element provided between the positioning member and the base seat, to allow the positioning member to remain engaged with the wheel seat; and a far-end controller installed on the frame of the baby stroller, the far end controller employing a connecting member to connect the far-end controller with the positioning member, and driving the positioning member, whereby the positioning member separates from the positioning portion, and maintains a released state or an engaged state through the connecting member, thereby permitting the user to selectively switch the wheel seat between a fixed-direction mode and a free steering mode; the far-end controller being installed at a handle provided at the frame of baby stroller, and further includes a securing seat, a pulling member, a push button, and a restoring spring, the other end of the connecting member being connected to the pulling member to make the connecting member drive the positioning member to turn through the turning of the pulling member, said push button being movable in the transverse direction of the baby stroller by manual actuation of the push button; said wheel seat having a top with a recess to form the positioning portion, the positioning member pivoting about a fixed point to engage the positioning portion, said positioning member having a first part transverse to a second part whereby the second part engages the positioning portion and the first part is pivoted about an end opposite the second part; the pivot shaft extending upwardly from said wheel seat and being fixed thereto and extending into said base seat and rotationally mounted therein. 16. The fixed-direction wheel control mechanism for a baby stroller as claimed in claim 15, wherein the base seat further includes a fastener for limiting the separation of the pivot shaft of the wheel seat from the base seat, by engaging the fastener with a limiting ring provided at the distal end of the pivot shaft. 17.
