Power-Conserving Prams

The i-con Smart Stroller Makes a Promenade with Baby Painless

— January 15, 2013 — Life-Stages
A mother deserves every little bit of assistance that she can get her hands on and the i-con Smart Stroller so cleverly delivers. When the price of keeping your infant comfortable and your shoulders unburdened is a big and heavy perambulator, you'll be delighted to see what this contraption has in store.

It isn't electric but the apparatus does boast the ability to provide pushing assistance, particularly when an uphill section of sidewalk is encountered. Sagar Kanase came up with an ingenious design for the two front wheels of the baby carriage with a spiral torsion spring and several gears. At times of reduced rolling effort, energy builds beneath the tires. As soon as a hill is before you, the i-con Smart Stroller can be switched into iBoost mode on the handle to help you over the hump.
Trend Themes
1. Assistive Strollers - The development of assistive strollers with energy-saving features presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the baby gear industry.
2. Smart Baby Carriages - The introduction of smart baby carriages with innovative features like iBoost mode presents opportunities for disruption in the baby products market.
3. Energy-efficient Prams - The trend towards energy-efficient prams with inventive technologies can disrupt the traditional baby carriage industry.
Industry Implications
1. Baby Gear - The baby gear industry can capitalize on the trend towards innovative and energy-efficient strollers like the i-con Smart Stroller.
2. Smart Home - The integration of smart technologies in baby carriages presents opportunities for the smart home industry to expand their products and services to include parents and caregivers.
3. Sustainability - The trend towards energy-efficient and power-conserving baby carriages reflects growing consumer demand for sustainable baby products and presents opportunities for the sustainability industry.
