New Coaster for Children Invented in Caldwell New Jersey
John Moore Jr of Caldwell New Jersey patents a children coaster with a foot support mounted between wheels for lateral stability. A curved rearward handle lets riders stand erect while a crossbar at the top supports the rider. An adjustable cross pin sets handle height to suit the rider, and a rocking pedal behind the wheels increases balancing difficulty.
