A stroller according to claim 1, further comprising: a foot rest bracket extending from each of the front wheel assembly housings, wherein an end of the foot rest is attached to each of the foot rest brackets. 3. A stroller comprising: a frame structure with opposed and spaced apart frame sides, each frame side having a front leg terminating at a lower end; a seat supported by the frame structure between the frame sides and having a seat bottom; a front wheel assembly with a housing connected to the lower end of each of the front legs; a foot rest bracket extending from each of the front wheel assembly housings and projecting upward and rearward from the respective housings; and an elongate foot rest extending between the frame sides of the frame structure and positioned at an elevation higher than the lower ends of the front legs and lower than the seat bottom, wherein the foot rest is not directly connected to the front legs at the elevation of the foot rest and the foot rest is attached to distal ends of the foot rest brackets. 4. A stroller according to claim 1, wherein each front leg has a bend near the lower end, and wherein the housing of each wheel assembly is positioned at an elevation lower than the bend and the foot rest is positioned higher than the bend but not connected to the respective front leg above bend. 5. A stroller according to claim 1, wherein the foot rest is elongate with a generally flat central region and is formed from a resilient, flexible material. 6. A foldable stroller comprising: a collapsible frame structure movable between a set-up configuration and a folded configuration, the frame structure having two spaced apart frame sides; a pair of front legs, one on each frame side and each terminating at a lower end; a front wheel assembly on each frame side, each frame side having a housing portion connected to the lower end of each front leg; a frame part on each frame side attached to a respective one of the front legs, each frame part slidable along the front leg to a retracted position closely adjacent the housing portion of the front wheel assembly when the frame structure is moved to the folded configuration; and an elongate foot rest extending between and behind the front legs of the frame sides and positioned at an elevation that is higher than the housing portions of the front wheel assemblies, the elongate foot rest configured to permit the frame parts to slide to the retracted positions on the respective front legs. 7. A stroller according to claim 6, further comprising: a foot rest bracket extending rearward and upward away from each housing portion, each foot rest bracket having a distal end coupled to an end of the foot rest. 8. A stroller according to claim 7, wherein the foot rest brackets are positioned to permit the frame parts to slide along the front legs toward the wheel assemblies beyond the foot rest position. 9. A stroller according to claim 6, wherein the sides of the frame structure are collapsible side-to-side laterally toward one another. 10. A stroller according to claim 9, wherein the foot rest can collapse when the sides of the frame collapse laterally toward one another. 11. A stroller according to claim 6, wherein each front leg has a downward bent portion near the lower end, and wherein the housing portion of each front wheel assembly is positioned at an elevation lower than and attached to the downward bent portion of the respective front leg. 12. A stroller according to claim 11, wherein the foot rest is positioned at an elevation higher than the bent portion on each front leg but is not attached directly to the front legs. 13. A stroller comprising: a collapsible frame having two spaced apart sides, the frame movable between a set-up configuration and a folded configuration; a front leg on each side of the frame, each front leg terminating at a lower end; a front wheel assembly carried on the lower end of each front leg, each front wheel assembly having a housing coupled to the front leg; a foot rest bracket integrally extending from a corresponding one of the housing portions of each front wheel assembly, each foot rest bracket having a distal end positioned higher than the housing and spaced from the front leg; and an elongate foot rest having opposed ends and extending between the front legs of the frame sides, each end of the foot rest connected to the distal end of a respective one of the foot rest brackets. 14. A stroller according to claim 13, wherein the frame is collapsible vertically, horizontally, and side-to-side laterally, and wherein the foot rest is configured so that the opposed ends can move toward one another when the frame is collapsed side-to-side laterally while remaining attached to the foot rest brackets. 15. A stroller according to claim 13, wherein a part of the frame can slide on each front leg to a refracted position against the housing when the frame is collapsed. 16. A stroller according to claim 13, wherein each front leg has a vertically downward bent portion near the lower end, and wherein the housing of each wheel assembly is positioned at an elevation lower than the bent portion and the distal end of each foot rest bracket is positioned higher than the bent portion. 17. A stroller according to claim 13, wherein each foot rest bracket is molded as an integral portion of the respective front wheel assembly housing. 18. A stroller according to claim 13, wherein each foot rest bracket projects upward and rearward from the respective front wheel assembly housing. 19. A stroller according to claim 13, wherein the distal end of each foot rest bracket is positioned rearward of the corresponding front leg.
