• Children grow fast. Your adorable newborn will start to walk soon, and it’s quicker than you expected. You might find yourself holding a baby scooter in one hand and pushing an empty buggy with the other while your lovely one is walking in front of you, whereas before you were pushing the baby in a buggy and that was the only thing to do. The project starts by learning what a family’s behaviour is and draws out both an insight and a question: why do we end up having too many products for children, and what is the solution?
