Consumer assembled stroller front wheel assembly

A removable front wheel assembly for a stroller is provided that is able to be disassembled from the stroller frame for shipment and assembled by the consumer upon receipt for use. The invention has applicability to any stroller configuration where, in the stroller's folded configuration, the front wheel assembly includes the outer-most structure of the stroller which defines at least one dimension for the shipping cube of the stroller. The front wheel assembly, which includes the stroller's wheels, lower front leg tubes, framing support structure, and a footrest, if provided, is joined to the stroller frame at a location external to an outer-most frame structure hinge point so as to reduce the complexity of the task of assembling the stroller for the consumer. A swaged joint and connector is utilized to connect the lower front leg tubes of the front wheel assembly to the upper front leg tubes of the stroller's frame.
