Claims (19)

1. A child conveyance apparatus comprising:

a child support portion having a canopy mount;

a canopy installable on and removable from the child support portion, the canopy including a coupling part that is engaged with the canopy mount when the canopy is installed on the child support portion and disengaged from the canopy mount when the canopy is removed from the child support portion, the coupling part having a plurality of installation positions with respect to the canopy mount that correspond to different heights of the canopy on the child support portion; and

a latch carried with the coupling part, the latch being operable to engage with different locations on the canopy mount for holding the coupling part in the installation positions;

wherein the latch is connected with an actuating portion that is operable to cause the latch to move for disengaging from the canopy mount, the actuating portion protruding away from the canopy mount.

2. The child conveyance apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the canopy is installed on the child support portion by sliding the coupling part over the canopy mount.
