Cold winter weather makes pushing prams uncomfortable for caregivers, as freezing handlebars can cause pain, especially for those with conditions like arthritis. While gloves provide some relief, they're often inconvenient when adjusting the pram or tending to the child. A heated handlebar could solve this problem, making winter strolls more comfortable in regions with harsh winters.
The system could integrate heating elements into pram handlebars, powered by a rechargeable battery. It might include:
One approach would be offering this as an aftermarket accessory that attaches to existing prams, while another would involve collaborating with manufacturers to build it into premium models.
This solution could stand out because:
For parents in cold climates, the comfort difference could make the feature worth paying for, either as an add-on or included in higher-end prams.
A practical first step might be modifying existing heated grip technology to create prototype attachments for common pram models. This would allow testing with real users to refine the design before pursuing manufacturing partnerships. Simple safety features and easy charging would likely be key priorities based on initial user feedback.
