About Gaaba Baby Bakkie

Gaaba is 'n groot stootwaentjie vir kinderoppasfasiliteite, ontwerp om verskeie babas tydens daaglikse wandelinge en gedurende ontruimings te vervoer. Die raamwerk beperk die verlies van krag wat deur strukturele vervorming veroorsaak word, en koolstofvesel-versterkte plastiek verminder die totale gewig. Groot bande, addisionele trappe en handvatsels help die waentjie om oor growwe grond te beweeg. Die posisie van die handvatsel is deur bewegingsanalise bepaal, gebaseer op gepubliseerde gemiddelde liggaamsdata van kinderoppassers. Gaaba meet 1470 x 670 x 1010 millimeter en weeg 25 kilogram. Die doel is om kinders te beskerm en die daaglikse fisieke las op personeel te verminder.

Unique Properties: A large stroller designed as a disaster prevention and evacuation device that enhances survivability by improving rough road running ability and safety as evacuation equipment in the event of a disaster, reducing the burden on childcare workers in normal times, and pursuing ergonomic ease of use. It is designed as a Dual Product (used in both normal times and emergencies) that combines these two goals and it can protect children in case of emergency.
Dimensions & Packaging: size:1470 x 670 x 1010
weight:25kg
Tags: kids, kindergarten, nursery, earthquake, infant,
Production Technology: The frame is designed to minimalize the loss of force due to the deformation of the structure. CFRP is used largely as the structural material to reducing the weight.
With the perspective of ergonomics, the position of the pushing handle were determined by the motion analysis performed for the average physique information of childcare workers published by the Japanese government agency.
In addition, large tires, additional steps and grips are equipped to break through rough terrain in evacuate.
Inspiration: Japan is one of the world's leading earthquake suffering countries. Countless lives had been lost in Tsunami and fire caused by giant earthquakes. Infant childcare facilities are no exception to suffer and it may require evacuation to the outside. A transporting infants who cannot walk on their own is indispensable. In addition, it's common in many childcare facilities to take a little walk with 4 to 5 infants on a cart to near park. Large strollers have been used for both daily and evacuate.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2020 in Tokyo Japan.
Operation Flow: The existing carts weighs too heavy to operate and is a heavy burden for childcare workers, while the design of existing products has not changed significantly for a long time.
RDS Ltd., Co. has been engaged in R&D of various motor sports related products for years, and has been an official partner of F1 team Scuderia AlphaTauri in recent. We have applied the technology to Gaaba because we have refined the technology in the environment where light, strong and durable products are required.
