The Daily
A stroller is meant to respond to a very human interaction, one of the oldest and most instinctive. Above all, it is a tool for everyday life, for exploration and comfort; for both parent and child. It requires sensitivity and depth in its approach, and so it followed that our design for the Daily was an investigation into ergonomics, soft-goods construction, functional forms and contemporary parenting at large.
While this undertaking was daunting from the outset, we quickly learned that the process is not unlike the complexities of furniture; it's not so different from a task chair, for example, in that it has distinct functionalities and use-cases. Through the process, we interviewed dozens of parents to better understand the different facets of parenting and the early years of traveling with a child. The design evolved out of many of these discussions, building off of functionalities we saw repeated desires for. Overall, the soft goods are meant to convey comfort and warmth, through their materiality and construction, while the hard goods are efficient in their use of material and speak to the strength and stability parents expect from a product like this.
The design for the Daily includes numerous functional innovations as well, including a removable seat liner, a removable organizer for the parent, soft touch points to activate various features, innovative soft-goods construction, a waterproof footrest, a streamlined foot-board, an ergonomic handle that mirrors the foot-board; and undoubtedly more considerations that are difficult to list, but present themselves through continued use.
