Created by Swedish designer Lycke von Schantz, the Pahoj stroller concept has a second function as a child's bike seat attachment. The innovative concept is aimed at parents who use cycling as a main method of transportation and who don't want to cut back on the lifestyle now that they have children.
It's not entirely surprising that a cycling-centered stroller concept would emerge from Scandinavia, where biking culture is a large part of everyday life and is often the most common form of transportation. For busy parents who are always biking to the park or to school, this is an inventive solution to the inevitable complaint of sore legs from a young kid.
The Pahoj stroller concept will theoretically be put to the test when Pahoj launches a Kickstarter effort on April 9, 2015.
