Ride-On Car

Our team is dedicated to adapting ride-on car toys for children who experience difficulty using them, ensuring a more inclusive and enjoyable play experience. Inspired by the Go Baby Go initiative, we focus on modifying these cars to better suit the needs of children with mobility challenges.

To enhance both comfort and accessibility, we collaborate with the NAPA Center, where we engage directly with patients, parents, and therapists. These interactions allow us to understand real-world needs and refine our designs to best support each child’s experience.

• Adaptive Controls: Adding an easy-to-press button on the steering wheel for children with upper mobility limitations, allowing them to drive independently.
• Improved Comfort: Replacing the standard hard plastic seat with a more supportive and cushioned alternative to provide better posture and ease of use.
• Parental Assistance: Implementing a Bluetooth remote control that allows an adult to assist in steering or stopping when necessary, ensuring both safety and usability.

With the practice of increasing accessibility and awareness, we aim to create an inclusive play experience that bridges the gap between leisure and everyday life.
