Abstract

A baby stroller and a lateral seat cover portion thereof are provided. The lateral seat cover portion of a baby stroller includes a fabric bag including an inner side fabric and an outer side fabric opposite to each other, a foldable plate wrapped in the fabric bag and located between the inner side fabric and the outer side fabric, and an auxiliary device. The foldable plate includes a first plate and a second plate pivotally connected, when a frame of the baby stroller in an unfolded state, the foldable plate is in an unfolded state. When the frame of the baby stroller is folded, the auxiliary device enables an outer side of the first plate and an outer side of the second plate to approach each other, thereby switching the foldable plate from the unfolded state to a folded state.
