a foldable seat including a back portion hinged to a bottom portion having a recessed underside;
support legs hinged to said recessed underside and and adapted to fold downwardly from and upwardly into said recessed underside;
a first tubular mount of given cross-section extending vertically along a side edge of said back portion of said seat;
a first rod within said first tubular mount of given cross-section to allow rotation of said back portion of said seat about said first rod;
a first clamp coupled to said first tubular mount for controllably adjusting at least one of said rotation of said first tubular mount about said first rod and linear sliding of said first tubular mount along said first rod;
a second tubular mount of given cross-section extending horizontally along a side edge of said bottom portion of said seat;
a second rod within said second tubular mount of given cross-section to allow rotation of said bottom portion of said seat about said second rod;
a second clamp coupled to said second tubular mount for controllably adjusting at least one of said rotation of said second tubular mount about said second rod and linear sliding of said second tubular mount along said second rod;
means for coupling said second tubular mount to a frame of a stroller; and
wherein said coupling means includes a bracket having a first toothed gear coupled to mesh with a second toothed gear mounted on said frame of the stroller.

3. The chair of claim 1 wherein said support legs are of adjustable length.
4. The chair of claim 1 wherein said second rod is of lesser cross-section than said second tubular mount to allow forward and rearward linear sliding of said bottom portion of said seat along said second rod.
5. The chair of claim 1 wherein said support legs are of an adjustable length.
6. The chair of claim 1 wherein said first and said second toothed gears mesh together for setting the chair flat on the ground when said support legs for said chair are folded downwardly.
