A handle assembly for a folding perambulator having a wheeled foldable frame (1, Fig.1) with front frame members (10) which may be folded toward rear frame members (5) when a seating member (2) is removed from said frame. A handle (7) is also arranged to be foldable downwardly toward rear wheels (3). A locking mechanism (6) is provided to permit the frame and handle to be folded. The handle includes a rotatable member 25 which, in one direction of rotation, is arranged to adjust the length of the handle possibly by permitting telescoping of tubular members (26, 27), and in an opposite direction of rotation to cause the locking mechanism, which may include a dog clutch 80, or toothed wheel, to be disengaged to permit the frame and handle to be folded to a closed position. The rotatable member may be a twist grip and actuate cables 52-55 by means of followers 42-44 interacting with cam profiles 31-35.
