# Hybrid Bicycle Baby Carriers The Wike Salamander Bicycle Stroller Converts in Seconds By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-02-18 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bicycle-stroller References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/salamander-bicycle-stroller-2-in-1/41889/) & [wicycle](http://www.wicycle.com/index.php/products/bikes/salamander/) Modern urban lifestyles are centered around transportation methods like bicycles, so the Wike Salamander Bicycle Stroller is designed to enable riding with a child. Rather than forcing users to install a [baby seat onto their ride](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kazam-co-pilot-bike-trailer), the bike stroller design can be converted in mere seconds into one of two modes. In bicycle mode, the child is kept securely in the front portion of the bike, while when in stroller mode the design transforms to a [traditional stroller design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-stroller). The innovative styling of the Wike Salamander Bicycle Stroller makes total sense for urban parents who are looking for healthy ways to get around town with children in tow. The brand is currently running a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easyway) campaign, which could allow early adopters to get a Salamander as early as July. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Hybrid Bicycle Baby Carriers:** The Wike Salamander Bicycle Stroller offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the baby carrier industry. - **Convertible Bike Strollers:** The ability to switch between bike and stroller modes presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the biking industry. - **Urban Parent Transportation Solutions:** The demand for healthy and efficient transportation solutions for urban parents creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for the urban mobility industry. ### Who This Affects Most - **Baby Carrier Industry:** The Wike Salamander Bicycle Stroller offers a disruptive innovation opportunity for the baby carrier industry. - **Biking Industry:** The ability to switch between bike and stroller modes presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the biking industry. - **Urban Mobility Industry:** The demand for healthy and efficient transportation solutions for urban parents creates a disruptive innovation opportunity for the urban mobility industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Child-Centric e-Cargo Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecargo-bike.md) - [Urban Family-Friendly eBikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urbanisto-ebike.md) - [Collapsible 5-in-1 Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liki-trike-midnight-edition.md) - [Retrofittable Stroller-Accessory Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easyway.md) - [Kid's Urban Lifestyle Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woom-bikes.md) - [Modular E-Powered Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/egazelle-s-stroller.md) - [All-in-One Off-Road Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/allterrain-stroller-wagon.md) - [All-Terrain Child Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evenflo-pivot-xplore.md) - [Compact Urban Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bugaboo-dragonfly.md)
