Team Red B Project Mockup Hands-Free Stroller Team Red B Project Mockup Instructor: Chris Magee R. Bavetta || C. Bateman || M. Blanco || D. Chun || T. Hall || C. Winiarz || A. Zingman
Recap: What is it? Client: Duane Farrar Our Model: Hands free stroller Legally blind, stay at home Dad, soon to be father of twins Looking for a stroller that would allow him to keep his hands free Our Model: Hands free stroller Pulled behind adult Children in line (shoulder width)
Mockup: Critical Features Carriage Structure Wheel configuration Braking system Person to stroller attachment Overall Safety
Carriage Structure Children sit in line to reduce width Collapsible carriage fits in standard car trunk Children sit comfortably and safely within metal frame
Wheel Configuration 20” Bicycle wheels for curbs and rough terrain (Boston sidewalks) Casters in back reduce turning radius Safe: 4 wheels structure very stable
Braking System Active Braking Passive Braking Hand brake for inclines Friction brake engages automatically upon detachment
Double Sided Belt Mount Allows for hands-free mobility Natural stride Secure and easily detachable Carriage remains stable if parent falls
Project Mockup Conclusions What we learned: Must be stable and able to collapse Attachment arms must be rigid during use Importance of safety in every element of design What’s next: Refine folding; locking mechanisms for rigidity Develop sunshades and coverings Research additional features
Come see us in Pappalardo! Thanks! From Ryan, Chris, Matt, Darren, Teri, Christi, and Aron
