The pull handle is slidably sleeved over a handle frame of the stroller and is movable between a holding position and a release position. The safety assembly is configured to cooperate with the folding assembly, in which the safety assembly includes a locking member for preventing misoperation of the pull handle, and the locking member is switchable between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member is configured to prevent the pull handle from moving to the release position responsive to the locking member being in the locked position; and the locking member is entirely located inside the handle frame responsive to the locking member being in the unlocked position.
