A false-brake prevention device includes a wheel shaft, a positioning structure, a protruding pillar, a wheel hub rotatably disposed on the wheel shaft, a brake base connected to the wheel shaft, and a brake pedal pivotally connected to the brake base and having a brake lever for engaging with a brake tooth structure of the wheel hub. The positioning structure is formed on one of the brake pedal and the brake base, and has lock and release slots and an elastic portion formed therebetween. A first return region is connected to a transition region and formed on a side surface of the elastic portion with a gradually reducing height from the transition region to the lock slot. The protruding pillar is formed on the other one of the brake pedal and the brake base for pushing the elastic portion and for engaging with the lock slot or the release slot.
