Nowadays, many inventions have been produced from advanced technology as seen
in the present and the technology is growing rapidly around the world at the time. Arguably,
technology result not only in the field but also from various fields such as mechanical,
electrical, electronics and so on.
When brainstorming for a title to do this project, we have selected a few
suggestions and ideas to produce. After some research, we have chosen to make the
innovation project "Stroller baby accessories" to improve "accessories" existing in the
market.
In this project several methods are needed to make it happen, including methods
that do is to do the observation to identify the improvements needed to implement this
project. The order for the methodology involved should be based on the needs of the title.
Each stage contains its own interest in ensuring that the project can be completed on time.
1.4 Objectives of Project

Can reduce the hot and dark condition of using stroller outside.

Improve the design of exists accessories in market.

1.5 Scope of Project

The scope or limits of the projects are listed. This is intended to ensure the implementation of
the project is not excluded from the scope of the set. The scopes of project are:

Identification of need

Definition of Problem

Synthesis

Analysis & Optimization

CHAPTER 2: PROBLEM STATEMENT

2.1 Problems
Problem is any situation that presents a challenge, an opportunity, or is a concern. Before we
can solve a problem, we must identify it. A problem statement clearly identifies the problem
that the product will solve. A problem statement helps in focus our thinking.
"Babies often cry because of the heat and the mother is also difficult to make bottle feeding at
night".
The idea of innovation of stroller accessories came when considering the situation
faced by a parents when bring their baby for waking outside. The difficulties such as a hot
condition during sunny day and no light during bottle feeding milk at night are the major
problem to bring up the idea for this project. Otherwise, the accessories that been sells in the
market also provide a separate product of lamp and fan in which the parents need to buy
either one which is not the right solution for this problem. They can only use lamp or fan at
one time because there are no accessories that sell lamp and fan in one product.

CHAPTER 3: IDEA GENERATION

3.1 Introduction
Idea generation is the process of creating, developing, and also ideas
communicating which are abstract, concrete, or visual. The process includes the process of
constructing through the idea, innovate the concepts, developing the process, and bringing the
concept to reality. In a process of design a product of project, the generation and design
concept selection is done to select the best design of product.
Before develop of a new design of prototype, the generation and design concept
selection done to have many types of the variation concept of design. Several concept of
design are develops and the best design is selected as the main idea of the prototype design. It
will be considered with several criteria before being selected as the best design. The final
design concept will be select from the highest value points and to fulfil all the criteria.
The process of selection the project was done by group members by brainstorming
the ideas. The Brainstorming process starts off with the problem clearly stated and recognized
by all group members. One person out of the group is chosen to write down all the ideas that
are suggested in order to make them simultaneously visible to all others. Every idea is
accepted and written down. Group members are to build on and develop each others ideas.

Figure 3.1 Brainstorming for the ideas

3.2 Selection of Idea

After brainstorming for the ideas, the best idea was selected to be done for Creative
& Innovation Project. The works and process were divided among group members to make
sure the processes were done correctly in time. The designs were sketched in drawing.
Engineering drawing is not only the province of the draftsperson. It is the language
of the engineer. It is their means of developing and recording their ideas, and conveying them
to others. Every engineer will be using and referring to some form of drawings almost daily.
They will often be producing or directing the preparation of drawings.
Usually, they make the preliminary sketches and design drawings in accordance
with principles of engineering drawing because this is the most unambiguous way of to
convey and record information. It is also likely that every engineer at sometime will be
checking the work of designer drafters and approving drawings before they are sent to
manufacturing. When engineers sign off the final approval of a drawing, they take
responsibility for it. An overlooked error in the drawing could be costly.
3.3 Design
3.3.1 Introduction
Design need is the first design specification that should be considered before
the product is developed. The design of the product must be considered to a several
criteria to ensure the product is develops based on the given specifications.
The given criteria for the product are the most important part during the
development of the design. It criteria given from the project research and during the
development of product, this criteria should be considered first before the details
design is produced.
The first specification is determined to the difficulties during sunny day and
night. Other than that, the design of the product is focused on the functions of the
product, to reduce the problem faced by parents. For hot criteria, the design of product
must be strong enough to stand for high temperature as a cooling agent. Size of the
product is also the important part of designing the product.
9

3.3.2 Design Criteria

The most important criteria on this project prototype are focus on the comfort
condition for babies. The design criteria are to ensure the functioning and perfect
prototype design.
i.

Good Design
Good design can attract the consumer.

ii.

Safety of the Product

The prototype must be safe to be used by consumer.

iii.

Stable
The prototype is design to cool the babies so the prototype must be stable
enough to stand a hot temperature.

iv.

Low Cost
The good design prototype must not too expensive or too cheap. If too
expensive, the product is difficult to sell. If cheap, it will hard to build a
good prototype.

v.

User friendly
The prototype must be easy to handle by all people.

3.3.3 Designing Concept

Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object
or a system (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business
processes, circuit diagrams and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in
different fields (see design disciplines below). In some cases the direct construction of
an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, cowboy-coding and graphic
design) is also considered to be design. So, to choose the best design is to define the
concept of the design (Armstrong, S. L., Gleitman, H, (1999). what some concepts
might not be. In E. Margolis, & S. Lawrence, Concepts (pp. 225-261). Massachusetts:
MIT press).
Prototype theory came out of problems with the classical view of conceptual
structure. Prototype theory says that concepts specify properties of each design
concepts. Each design has their own specify properties that would be judge before the
10

design would be choose. (The Writing of William James, University of Chicago

Press).
So, the design concept of the project prototype is the design from the
conclusion where taking from the project research. The idea of the concept was
observed based on current.
i.

First Concept

The first concept characteristic shown in Figure 3.2 is used the cover of
stroller as a permanent place. The system is using the body of stroller to put
the accessories. The concept is too expensive and the design concept is not too
efficient because it is not a portable type. The concept is easy to handle but
cant moved. The design is not used a complicated system, it is simple
structure but high cost of build.

Figure 3.2 Concept 1

ii.

Second Concept

The second concept in Figure 3.3 used a more complicated system using an
injection moulding. The design concept is more expensive and difficult to
build. The size of prototype is small and light weight. The design is more ecofriendly and attractive with bright colour and flowery design but need a lot of
money.

11

Figure 3.3 Concept 2

iii.

Third Concept

The third concept in Figure 3.4 is a simple and interesting design compared to
another design. The system is not too expensive and reasonable. The size of
the prototype is not too small and too big, with a light weight. The design is
more efficient than the others concept where the concept can easily clip on
anywhere at the stroller. It used a lamp as an agent of lighting during night and
also can be use as safety light. The design had the aesthetic value on the
design so it would look interesting.

3.3.4 Design Concept Selection

The best design among the matrix system is used to select the best design. All
of the design concepts are given the marks according to the specific characteristic and
criteria that have been given. The design where had the highest mark would be
selected as the final design and the detail design would be make to develop the
concept.
According to the Table 3.3, the thirds concept contains the characteristic and
criteria that had been specified to the project. The third concept is selected after
getting the highest mark from matrix system and the third concept is selected as the
final design and the detail design of the third concept is build.

3.3.5 Details of Design

The detailed design of the project is carried out after the selection of the best
design. The development of the design will be considered with several criteria. The
detailed designs are drawn with the full scale or dimensions of design. The design of
the project is drawn using the software Solid Works.

The third concept is selected as first design of the prototype that would be
develops because the design is fulfil the specific criteria that have been set. The
design is selected after doing the matrix system and the third concept had the highest
mark from the all of the marks. The third concept design is repaired and developed for
the detailed project design. The full design is shown in Figure 3.2.2 that shows
detailed of each part of prototype.

Figure 4.1 Fan for stroller in market

In the market, the accessories that can install or use for stroller are clip on stroller fan and
flashing stroller safety light which are sell separately and using non-rechargeable batteries.
The difficulties for the parents are they need to buy and prepare the stock of batteries each
time they want to use the product.

4.2 Invention
The product that called as Baby Stroller Accessories (BSA) are consists of USB lamp and fan
with portable charger. We design the arrangement and combination of the tools to ease the
parents to bring the 2 in 1 product.

4.3 Process
4.3.1 Material / Tools
The correct material selection is important to produce the project prototype. It
is to ensure the highest quality and practical prototype. This is due to different of
mechanical properties for each material. So, the projects materials are chosen
according to the mechanical properties of the material that had been specified.
Material selection is a step in the process of designing any physical object. In
the context of product design, the main goal of material selection is to minimize cost
while meeting product performance goals. The material or tools that used by the
group members are shown as below:

o USB Port Fan

The project is to make accessories for a baby stroller, so the USB
port fan was selected as one of the components. The ultra-quiet and
plug & play design are the advantages of this model.

Figure 4.3.1.1 Fan

o USB Port Lamp
The lamp is made of silicone which is bendable. With LED light, the
lamp is suitable to use in this project because it is effective on
eyesight especially for baby.

o Portable Charger
The word battery charger pertains to several devices accustomed to
induce energy right rechargeable battery to replenish its power
capabilities. Today we use battery chargers for many applications,
and much of our mobile phones and digital appliances like cameras
have rechargeable batteries that want regular topping nearly
guarantee the device remains functional.
The volume of charging a device requires is determined by the kind
and rating of batteries utilized with all the devices. Some devices can
withstand consistent sustained charging source and are not damaged
or impaired should that charging source stay in place even though the
batteries are fully charged. Other devices will severed the latest to
the batteries once they reach full charge. Some chargers hire a trickle
charge, supplying only a little bit of current that will take many hours
to charge a cell, whilst others may charge batteries inside of one
hour. We are using portable charger compared to lithium batteries
because it is more effective and easy to manage.
