Revolutionary Pushchair Design Empowers Disabled Parents

Here at Parenting Expert, we know a LOT about pushchairs but sometimes you know that there is a gap in the market – and we know that there is a gap for a pushchair for wheelchair users.

Imagine the joy of taking your child to the park, but being unable to use a regular stroller because you use a wheelchair. This everyday struggle faced by countless disabled parents is about to change, thanks to a groundbreaking invention from Designability, a Bath-based charity.

Award-Winning Innovation

Designability’s accessible pushchair design is a game-changer. Recognised with multiple awards, including the European Product Design Award’s “Best Design for Humanity” and “Top Design Winner” in Families & Kids categories, this innovative solution addresses a critical gap in the market.

Filling the Gap

Currently, there are no readily available pushchairs designed for parents or carers who use wheelchairs. This forces them to either stay home or rely on others, leading to isolation and frustration.

A Simple, Affordable Solution

Designability’s genius lies in its simplicity and affordability. Their design replaces the traditional rear wheels/footbrake assembly on any conventional pushchair, transforming it into an accessible stroller for a mere $15 which is about £12.

Empowering Independence

This revolutionary design goes beyond convenience. As Designability’s Director of Design & Innovation, Matt Ford, says, “It is a product that can truly change the lives of disabled parents who need it.” The pushchair fosters independence, allowing parents to experience the joy of outings with their children without relying on others.

Designability: A Champion for Equality

Designability is a national charity dedicated to removing barriers for disabled people. They’ve already impacted countless lives with their iconic Wizzybug powered wheelchairs for young children. Now, their accessible pushchair promises a brighter future for disabled parents worldwide.
