EZ Fold 4-in-1 Stroll 'N Trike MD#448

One of the first projects I was tasked with at Radio Flyer was to develop the ultimate compact folding stroller trike.

​

Competitors had also created folding trikes, but my challenge was to create a better fold, better functionality with our patented 'Parent Steer' feature, and a better kid's trike in the last mode where all the parent and toddler attachments are removed.

Skills Utilized:

  • Prototyping

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration between engineering, model shop, China team, and design team.

  • Sketchwork & Renderings (visual communication)

  • Customer Centered Research

  • Solidworks CAD

  • Soft goods development

  • Presentations to company and senior management

One of the most satisfying parts was receiving a stamp of approval from my favorite tester:
