Cindy Sjöblom's Cursum Stroller Concept For Wheelchair Users

Industrial Design student Cindy Sjöblom has developed a concept called the Carsum Stroller to address an issue that is difficult yet never quite been resolved:  transporting a baby. Most, if not all, strollers are designed with an able-bodied person in mind.  Trying to push a stroller and care for a baby when you are in a wheelchair is quite challenging with current strollers:  the Carsum Stroller aims to make life a little easier.  More info, images, and video after the jump.

The Carsum Stroller is unique in the noticeable height difference in the design.  The stroller is at the ideal height for a wheelchair user instead of being too low in comparison to typical designs.  The smaller wheels and shorter wheelbase makes it easy to pull up to the stroller and even lock the stroller to  the user's wheelchair.  Once locked in place, moving the stroller is simple and the adjustable handlebar  for pushing and adjustable seat to provide a ideal placement of the baby.  The stroller does not seem to significantly compromise maneuverability and does make transporting a baby significantly easier when compared to a typical stroller.  There is also storage space under the seat at about the height of the wheelchair user's knees: ideal for the wheelchair user.

There is no indication that the Carsum Stroller will enter production at this time.  Hopefully this will change soon.  Check out the pictures and video below.  Enjoy!
