Gaaba
Gaaba is a large stroller for childcare facilities, designed to carry several infants in daily walks and during evacuation. The frame limits the loss of force caused by structural deformation, and carbon fiber reinforced plastic reduces the total weight. Large tires, additional steps and grips help the cart pass over rough ground. The handle position was set through motion analysis based on published average body data of childcare workers. Gaaba measures 1470 x 670 x 1010 millimeters and weighs 25 kilograms. The aim is to protect children and reduce daily strain on staff.
Gaaba Infant Cart by Anri Sugihara has been highlighted as an outstanding example of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Gaaba Infant Cart received the Bronze A' Design Award in Baby, Kids' and Children's Products Design in 2021. The A' Baby, Kids and Children's Products Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design competition that celebrates superior design of strollers, car seats, baby monitors, high chairs, baby bottles, pacifiers, diapers, baby clothes and more.
