Reply to comment by MadLintElf in Self-driving stroller aims to reduce parents’ stress – at cost of £2,700 by diacewrb

It certainly doesn’t need to be self driving. But motorized wouldn’t hurt. Give tired parents a rest from walking. Perhaps where the adult can stand on the back axle, like those standing lawnmowers that have become popular.

That I can deal with, it certainly would help especially with twins.

I always liked pushing the stroller around, was one of the few forms of exercise I got with kids, especially with my twins.

If they want to lessen parental stress, figure out how to feed kids in the middle of the night and let us sleep.

Shit man..

Just something easily turnable with one hand is all I need.

Like this maybe? But electric, and slow for safety: https://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/commercial_mowers/features_attachment/600_quik_traks/r4g046987_18_652r_left_275s.jpg

Or this, where you stand on a separate platform and get pulled: https://i0.wp.com/todaysmower.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Scag-Sulky.jpg?ssl=1

That would be terrible. Anyone who's ever had kids and strollers knows the last thing you want is something heavier.

Fair. Heavier is probably harder to load and unload from the car, and climb stairs, even if it is motorized. Still, might be preferable when you know you have a long day with a lot of walking.
