Loopi: Increasing the Longevity of Strollers by Offering Subscriptions
I agree that the relative low use a stroller gets is a big problem, but the subscription service is obnoxious to me. Personally I hate all the subscriptions. Great revenue stream for the company but continuous payments and the worry of exceeding wear and tear are anxiety producing.
My idea to solve this problem was to make a kit of parts that can be reconfigured, with added or subtracted components so the stroller's parts can be used to make more products for the growing human or other family members. I imagine starting with the stroller, evolving to a wagon ( wagons, by the way, can do a lot and should never be underestimated) or a bike trailer, a rickshaw like contraption then to a grnddma cart, a hand truck and even more. My concept definitely adds more material in the world but parts can be recyclable and making more products keeps designers designing and the supply chain employed. Also less barf covered stroller parts that will need to be replaced anyway.
