This revolutionary baby buggy takes a cue from the super-convenient [baby sling](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baby-travel-essential) while giving parents the option of either holding their child, pushing him or letting him walk. Weighing less than 9 pounds, the QuickSmart Backpack Stroller may add to the load of what a parent has to lug around, but it also allows her to have easier access to public transportation, restaurants and more. It also includes a five-point harness and canopy, padded seat and footrest, and built-in shopping basket. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 40% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Babies](https://www.trendhunter.com/babies) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Foldable Strollers:** Opportunity for innovating collapsible strollers that offer convenience and ease of transport. - **Lightweight Baby Gear:** Disruptive potential in developing lightweight baby gear that doesn't compromise on functionality. - **Versatile Baby Carriers:** Innovation opportunity lies in creating multi-functional baby carriers that provide various options for parents. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Baby Gear Manufacturing:** Potential for disruptive innovation in the manufacturing of baby gear, focusing on foldable and lightweight designs. - **Public Transportation:** Opportunity for public transportation industry to cater to parents by offering stroller-friendly services and facilities. - **Restaurant and Hospitality:** Innovative solutions can be developed in the restaurant and hospitality sector to accommodate parents with foldable strollers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stroller-Equipped Suitcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-journey-travel-case.md) - [Ultra-Compact Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/compact-stroller.md) - [Stroller-Equipped Suitcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/easy-journey-suitcase.md) - [Newborn-Safe Ultralight Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/babbleroo-hoplite-stroller.md) - [One-Handed Functional Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aer2.md) - [Sophisticated Stroller Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sophisticated-stroller.md) - [One-Handed Eco Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bebee-lightweight-stroller.md) - [Dual-Functionality Stroller Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dualfunctionality-stroller.md) - [Integrated Headlight Strollers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/munchkin-night-owl.md)
