How To Produce A Baby Stroller?

Baby carriages and strollers have been faithful friends to parents since centuries ago. They have supported the weight and transportation of babies, toddlers, and even twins at the same time. Even today, while making a list for maternity shopping, baby strollers are kept at the top since they are must-have equipment for parents and babies. As a parent, if you could choose between a baby bed and a baby stroller, we are damn sure that you would go for the stroller, because who would want to carry a baby while strolling in the park or walking with bags of vegetables at farmer’s market.

 

There you go with a brief example of the importance of baby strollers. Many baby startups have declared that their brands started around the idea of some baby equipment. Have you ever thought about adding something fancy to a stroller that you liked, some pop out of color or any extra features maybe? Such ideas intrigued the young entrepreneurs who went deep into the procedure and came up with innovations of baby strollers that conquered the market. Today they are not start-ups but huge brands that generate thousands of millions of dollars from sales of just baby strollers. So, are you thinking about making any innovations to the ‘today’s-baby stroller’? If yes, then do give this article a quick read, since we have mentioned the basic procedure of producing a basic baby stroller. 

 

Step-By-Step Guide to Producing a Baby Stroller: 

 

To get a sample baby stroller for your new business, you have to learn how to make a basic one. Read the steps below to know-how: 

 

Step 1- Come up with a Design:

 

Although you’re learning to create a basic baby stroller, you need to have a design of your own. For that, you can take help from the web, but the design should be yours so that you know how it is made and what features are required in a basic baby stroller. Once you have the design idea on paper, start thinking about the color contrast and extra details you would like to add, for example, a foldable canopy, elevated pushing rods, or more sitting room for the baby. Remember not to go to the extreme with innovation, since it is going to be your first try and there are chances that you might mess up big time.

 

Step 2- Select the Raw Material: 

 

The first step to creating any equipment or gadget is getting together the raw material. Even if you’re baking a cake, you need to have proper information about its ingredients and have them on hand. The same is the case with the baby stroller. First of all, research your desired raw material and collect it. Usually, the standard material used in a baby stroller is aluminum or steel for the body frame, fabric for the seat and hood, rubber and plastic for wheels and handles, etc. 

 

Step 3- Divide the Manufacturing Process: 

 

If you’re working all by yourself, you cannot create equipment as easily as a stroller within a day. You need to work step by step and write your ideas. So you write about the manufacturing process from start. First of all, start with the frame, since you have to create the seats after determining the size of the seat frame. Then you spray paint the body and add finishing details. Afterward, you create the seat and hood and the final step is assembling. 

 

Step 4- Create the Frame: 

 

Whether you’re using steel or aluminum to create the frame, use a press machine to bend down its tubing and in this way start forming the different components of the frame such as seat, hood, side handles, and joints. After you have the frame in hand, dip it into antioxidizing solution. This way the paint will stick to the frame and it will also avoid rusting. Powder-coat the frame to distribute color evenly, then pre-heat the frame and add an extra powder resin coating for the finish. Bake the frame one last time and then join all the parts using screws, bolts, and rivets.

 

Step 5-Create the Seat and Canopy: 

 

The raw material used for creating the bottom tray, seat, and canopy is mostly nylon cotton. Cut the fabric according to the size of the seat, bottom tray, and large canopy with pleats (since the canopy is foldable). Stitch the seat and canopy with each other using an industrial sewing machine. Trim the excess material and stitch the seat and canopy on the frame. As for the bottom tray, make sure to double the fabric before sewing it together on the base of the frame. 

 

Step 6- Plastic and Rubber Details: 

 

After you have the upper body produced and painted, start adding plastic details on the edges where you need them. You can add plastic handles to the back of the stroller for comfortable pushing, or you can add them to the side handles for the baby’s easy grip. You can add it at the bottom as well to add design. Afterward, you attach the wheels with the stroller so that it is maneuverable. Make sure to add two bigger-sized wheels at the back of the stroller and two smaller-sized wheels at the front, to give proper balance. 

 

Step 7-Quality Control Check: 

 

This is the last and optional step in producing a baby stroller. It depends on the fact whether you’re producing the stroller for your use or you’re creating a sample to come up with more of such strollers. If you’re creating a sample, it is recommended that you let it pass through the quality control check of the safety security test conducted by ASTM. If they certify your stroller according to the ASTM standards, which means you have created a brilliant baby stroller that is safe for kids to use. 

 

Conclusion: 

 

If you follow the above-listed steps as they are, you can create a commendable baby stroller. The only thing you have to be concerned about is the quality of the material you use in the process. And by material, we mean each material that you’re using, starting from the fabric, to the paint. Everything should be of good quality and baby-friendly, soft chemicals.
