The Problem

 

Walking, shopping mall, airport, other urgent matters could take much more time than planned.

Kids (2-7 y.o.) get tired if a “quick” walk takes longer than expected or because of feeling unhealthy, hurt leg, so

kids suddenly ask to be picked up. 

But.

Carrying a kid for long brings back, joints and spinal problem to 75% of the parents.

From the other side when you take a regular “compact” stroller when walk — you need it 20% of time only, but have to roll it all the way and

other compact stroller are not actually compact.

So Iva can always be with you, but you don’t even feel it behind your back.

 

Literally.
Behind Your Back.

 

Ultra slim (1,6″) and light (4,4 lbs) baby stroller could be combined with the spacious backpack.
The capacity of the backpack remains the same during both folded and unfolded positions.

Also it takes 6 seconds to fold and unfold it.

 

Commercial Potential.
Collaborations.

 

The backpack is detachable, so a customer can update his Iva to a new
colour or a  new design buying only a backpack part on Iva site or on partners store.
It targets three markets, with a combined market size of $16 billion.

 

 

What’s Inside?

Super light and durable Aviation Aluminum 7075 frame-enclosure consists
four pipe-shaped legs with soft rubber wheels for the comfort and safe ride.

Exterior Design of Iva.

Iva is more than a backpack-stroller.

It is about health, good mood, new memories
and friendly vibe in your family, especially
when lack of time being together.

And a very profitable business based on a unique
sliding system that is suitable for baby strollers, logistics and delivery equipment relevant to the growing B2B, B2C and
corporate gifts markets.
