My Role: Product Designer & Mechanical Engineer

The Strolla Attachment was developed as part of Harry West’s Human-Centered Design and Innovation course at Columbia University.

We developed the Strolla Attachment to make NYC public transit truly accessible for parents and young children.

Project Goal/Overview


Traveling with babies on the subway often forces parents to choose between convenience and safety. 

Slinging bags over your shoulder while holding a stroller in one arm and baby in the other isn't an acceptable experience for parents in NYC.

We created the Strolla, a universally attachable stroller wheel that opens NYC transit to parents without sacrificing any perks of the strollers they already have and love.

It's designed for stairs 7" inches tall (or shorter), accommodating all subway stairs and most stairs seen in NYC.
