Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional strollers typically only accommodate one child at a time, limiting their versatility and functionality, especially when trying to support a child who wants to stand or sit in different orientations.

Innovation Solution

A stroller design featuring a frame with multiple wheels, a forward-facing seat, a rearward-facing seat, and an adjustable seat back that can recline to support children in various positions, including a platform for standing, with a canopy for coverage and adjustable positions to accommodate multiple use scenarios.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional strollers are designed with single-seat configuration, then the structure remains simple and easy to manufacture, but the versatility and functionality are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveversatilityVSAvoidstructure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The stroller is designed with two seats (forward-facing and rearward-facing) that can be independently configured, allowing the same structure to serve multiple functions: accommodating one or two children, supporting sitting or standing positions, and adapting to different usage scenarios through the movable rearward seat and adjustable seat back

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Ease of operation

If the rearward facing seat is positioned to provide full support, then child comfort is improved, but access to the platform for standing is restricted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to platformVSAvoidseating support
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The rearward facing seat is designed to be movable between different positions, allowing it to be shifted forward to enable platform access or repositioned to provide optimal seating support, thereby dynamically adapting to different operational needs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If the seat back is fixed in a single position, then the structure is simpler, but the ability to support children in various positions is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveposition support capabilityVSAvoidadjustment mechanism
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The seat back is designed with adjustability to change between different recline positions, allowing it to adapt to support children in various orientations (sitting, reclining, standing) while maintaining a relatively simple adjustment mechanism

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
