Design Details
- Unique Properties
- With a combination of three functions, the stroller has an excellent evolutionary system. It's different from traditional fixed stroller structure. When parents want to take their children to a park, the stroller shows its original function. The parents can choose biking, an environmentally friendly travel mode, and put the stroller in the back seat. If the child feels hungry, the stroller can evolve to a feeding highchair in any place. The stroller's evolutionary characteristic makes it possible to achieve a perfect balance of safety, convenience, and cool appearance.
- Inspiration
- The evolutionary stroller is inspired by normal childcare life experience which is a headachy thing to deal with different childcare products in various conditions, for example, a stroller for an outside walk, a back child seat for outdoor bilking, a highchair for child feeding, etc. The evolutionary stroller is a consequence of real-life experience, which gives the stroller perfect physical performance in aspects of convenience, efficiency, and space-saving. Thus, we apply joined functions into the improvement of stroller design.
- Research
- We take mechanical simulation experiments of inner structure sampling points. Based on the simulation data, structure sampling points are rearranged properly, and the stroller finally gets an integrated structure system. Considering the convenience of parametric technique, we can directly control the density parameter of the whole structure system, and specification parameter of the supporting system. After mechanical simulation experiments of the latest structure, the result of simulation effects controls parameter, which promotes the stroller's adaptation to different users and usage scenarios.
- Challenge
- It's a key of appearance design to make the structure system adapt to the final one.
- Realization and Technology
- Main Material: The main structure is constructed from aluminum alloys.
- Operation and Interaction
- The evolutionary system is the important design elements in this design. And the stroller's evolutionary characteristic makes it possible to achieve a perfect balance of safety, convenience, and cool appearance.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in June 2018 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China and would be available for mass consumption in July 2020 in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China.
- Specifications
- The stroller is still in the experimental test stage. It comes in 3 functions. The main structure is constructed from aluminum alloys.
- Keywords
- Stroller, Back Seat, Feeding Highchair, Convenience, Lightness, Stability
