An infant carrier has a seat 10 for an infant, and may fold between a retracted position where it is useable as a car seat to an extended position where it may be used as a stroller by extending legs 30, 40 which are biased towards the extended position by a biasing means (52, 54, 56, fig. 7) which may comprise a gas spring. The legs are releasably fixable in at least the retracted position. Preferably the biasing means provides enough force to overcome the weight of the seat, allowing the seat to expand. In some embodiments, the legs match the curvature of the underside of the seat, such that the support legs lie alongside the underside of the seat in the retracted position.
