Dorel Juvenile, a segment of Dorel Industries (TSX: DII.B, DII.A), and the world's largest juvenile products manufacturer, today announced the Quinny longboardstroller. London event
Quinny longboardstroller: an experiment in mobility, fusing longboarding & strollers.
Try it on Clapham Common, London, 10am -1pm, Saturday 1 November
The London city streets are about to get a little more exciting! Quinny has developed a fun and innovative new mobility concept; the Quinny longboardstroller. It's a completely new and spectacular way to cruise through the city with your kid. And it's environmentally-friendly as well.
Quinny has organised a test day for press and public to experience it. Meet us on Clapham Common, London, 10am - 1pm, Saturday 1 November.
Quinny is all about pushing limits. Mobility challenges that parents face every day are a burden. To tackle these challenges, the Quinny longboardstroller takes a different approach to urban mobility. It gives the experience and freedom of riding a longboard and enables parents to travel faster than with a regular stroller - so they can explore more of the city together with their kids.
Co-developed with consumers
Innovation, creating new mobility solutions for parents, is in Quinny's DNA, but ideas like this don't come along every day. The concept came about following a worldwide consumer research study on urban parenting, which was commissioned by Quinny last year. The results showed that many parents living in urban areas travel around their city a lot less after they have children. The new Quinny longboardstroller gives them back their freedom to roam.
Early on in the project Quinny decided to start a blog and a Facebook page to see if there was interest amongst consumers. In just a few weeks, the concept went viral and attracted thousands of fans. Quinny further developed the concept with longboarding experts and parents from all over the world. The result: a premium consumer-friendly longboardstroller!
"We want to get input from consumers and specialists as early in the design process as possible. Their input is incredibly valuable for our product development" - Mark Schrooten, Innovation Director Quinny.
We invite you for the test day!
Meet us on Clapham Common, London, 10am - 1pm, Saturday 1 November. The nearest underground stations are Clapham North or South on the Northern line; it is a short walk to the centre of the park and we will be located near to the bandstand.
