About Gaaba 婴幼儿手推车
Gaaba係一款為托兒設施設計嘅大型手推車,用嚟喺日常散步同疏散期間載送多名嬰幼兒。車架設計減少因結構變形而造成嘅力量損耗,碳纖維強化塑膠則減輕咗整體重量。大型輪胎、額外踏板同扶手有助於手推車通過崎嶇路面。扶手位置係根據已公開嘅托兒工作人員平均身體數據,經過動作分析而設定。Gaaba尺寸為1470 x 670 x 1010毫米,重量為25公斤。呢個設計嘅目標係保護兒童安全,同時減輕工作人員嘅日常負擔。

- 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.

- 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.
