Work/Description
Abstract/
Develop the framework and folding mechanism that makes it possible to easily collapse the Trek
Super Doodlebug Trailer.
Challenge/
Design a skeleton - the essential framework of the trailer - that emphasizes the safety, ease
of use, and comfort of the trailer. The Super Doodlebug is intended to be folded into a
collapsible, portable unit that is both stable and safe.
Solution/
A sturdy metal framework that collapses easily, yet remains strong and structural for maximum
safety. The frame is ready to collapse after the safety interlock pin is removed. With the
push of a button and simply pulling back on a comfortable handle grip, the trailer collapses
within seconds.
The frame has a low height so the child can easily step inside the trailer and have an
unobstructed view as they ride. The framework gives parents easy access for up to two
children seated in the Doodlebug.
Results/
The Trek Super Doodlebug Trailer easily folds down for easy storage and transporting. With
the help of a conversion kit, it converts into a safe, durable stroller. The sturdy frame
supports up to 100 pounds.
