How does it work ?
Watch the video to see how Kiddyboost turns your stroller into an electric puschair in less than one minute, in order to keep only the pleasure of the strolls with the kids, up to 4 km / h and 4 children on a 10% slope.
Starting the power system
Press the trigger fixed on the handlebar and push the stroller simultaneously, the electric assistance starts after 1 to 4 steps. You can easily vary the speed up to 4 km/h thanks to the trigger.
Power assistance in all directions
You steer the stroller with the handlebar as usual. Then the 200W drive motor wheel swivels to assist you in the desired direction, whether in tight turns or U-turns. When you no longer want to use the electric assist, the motor wheel turns freely without any hindrance to the pusher.
Walking
Thanks to its adjustable arms, rear center position and height, the feet are unobstructed in most cases, making it unobtrusive even when you are not using the power.
Adaptation to urban obstacles
The articulated arms allow you to move up and down sidewalks, curbs and thresholds. Electric assistance is particularly useful for climbing curbs effortlessly. In the countryside, the engine runs on dirt roads, even when there are small holes as long as the ground remains hard.
Recharge the battery
The 7.8 Ah lithium-ion battery is very light (1.5 kg) and can be easily removed for recharging at home. It enables autonomy up to 30 kilometers with 4 children. Led indicators show the level of charge. If not used for more than 10 minutes when plugged into the module, it goes on standby automatically to avoid consuming electricity.
Storage and transportation
With a weight slightly over 9 kilograms in all, the battery and arms are removable to save weight and compactness, for storage in a car trunck for example.
Assembly and disassembly on the stroller
Thanks to its adjustable arms in tilt, width and length, it can be fixed to a very large part of existing strollers.

FAQ (Frequently asked questions)
Is Kiddyboost equipped with a brake?
NoKiddyboost is only a push assist. If you want to use it in very steep areas, it is better to use a stroller equipped with brakes for descents.
Why didn’t you develop a stroller equipped with an electric motor?
There are very few electric strollers, and in this case it is not possible to choose the model of stroller (compactness, weight, number of seats, etc.). If the electric stroller has the advantage of better integrating electrical assistance into the wheels, it has the defect of being often very expensive and requires buying a new stroller. They are also often heavier to carry upstairs or load into the trunk than a system that can be stored independently of the stroller. Finally, in the event of a breakdown, the stroller is much heavier to use. We have to find a repairman, bring him the electric stroller and be able to do without it while waiting to be repaired. For all these reasons, we considered that an independent module was the best response to the need for motorization.
