Most children carrying products were designed for babies. We designed a product that makes it possible to carry young children (ages 2-7) on the shoulders safely, leaving the adult’s hands free. The “Sit-Up” is a harness that can be worn easily and comfortably. It is easily stored and carried, taking almost no space at all. The product features two Velcro straps securely fastening the child’s legs, underneath the knees. It can be adjusted according to size, made of strong durable and high–quality materials providing maximum safety to the child, and peace of mind to the parents.

Product Development - After selecting "Sit-up" as our product, we realized that professional help is needed to develop a safe product while meeting professional standards. We turned to Marom-Dolphin, a company specializing in developing military textile products with worldwide customers.

Marom-Dolphin provided us with two design engineers who helped us transform our idea into reality. There were many challenges in the product development stage, it was not easy. At first, we had only a theoretical idea and we didn’t really know how the product would look. For the prototype phase competition, we prepared a prototype (that didn’t resemble the final product). We were required

to consider the safety standards, ergonomics, product design so that Sit-Up would be attractive as well as safe to the potential user.

The prototype was improved while taking into consideration the cost of raw materials and production methods while searching and examining potential suppliers.

The prototype was tested on friends, neighbors, family and relatives. Improvements were made to the model until the final product met our expectations.
