Since in 1920 the baby strollers became accessible to all families, the industry has not stopped innovating about it and looking for new solutions adapted to different families and realities.
Today we see 3-in-1 strollers, which integrate the carrycot, the chair and the car seat, innovative cars with scooters and even strollers that transform into a bicycle. We see them as very modern and as something of the future, but it is because we do not know about the existence of Amazing stroller that attaches to a bicycle as a sidecar, invented in 1951!
A simple but effective design
As you can see in the video, the system is very simple: from the stroller there are two tubes that are anchored to the bicycle so that the traction becomes the one generated by the cyclist. In addition, a window is added that protects the child from cold and air, and tries to get out.
A final system raises three of the wheels so that the rolling is carried out with only one, so that it does not hinder the changes of direction that the person carrying the bicycle can make.
For the "bike path", still
The truth is that I love it, not for now, but for what it should have assumed by then. Make 64 years of the report, so imagine. By then, there was very little traffic and it could be relatively useful. Now, both this system and the other more modern strollers seem only practical in areas with "bike lanes" or small cities, with few cars and motorcycles.
In all other situations it seems quite dangerous. If cyclists, unfortunately, are few respected by drivers, a bicycle that occupies double, with a sidecar, does not seem like a great idea of mobility because of the risk to the mother and the child.
But, What is curious?
