I wish I had this with my other two children. I can´t wait for my baby to actually be here and to get to use it! It´s quiet and the motions are smooth. It´s a decent size not too small not too big it looks chic in my room. 4 moms you need to make a “my snuggy insert” and it would be complete!

I had already packed away our previous 4Moms model due to our 8 month old being quite large. I was pleasantly surprised to test this newer model with updated features that work for my baby despite how tall she is! What I love about this model is the overall light weight. Its super easy to move around the house as needed. The five point harness is secure and easier to snap than our older recline feature is great...

We worked collaboratively with 4moms’ engineering and marketing teams and product strategist, Michael Laude, to innovate the product line. Together we optimized the products’ ergonomics, comfort, form, and appearance.

OUR PROCESS

Comfortable kids, happy parents

We approached each product with users – parents and children – in mind. We designed with a clear understanding of posture, center of gravity, weight, anchoring points, sizing, and reach; by using infant, children, and adult digital mannequins through many rounds of virtual ergonomic testing.

Feeling at home

To achieve contemporary and timeless designs that fit seamlessly into modern homes, we sculpted sophisticated forms using advanced Class-A surfacing to update product appearance, smooth edges and better integrate soft and hard components.

Design intent for manufacturing

Achieving visual simplicity while designing a complex mechanical product requires high design sensitivity, 3D modeling mastery, and manufacturing know-how. Working collaboratively with 4moms and their supply-base tooling engineers, manufacturing cost targets were met, and design intent was maintained.

Softgoods development

The softgoods were designed with comfort and manufacturing in mind. Our iterative process leveraged both virtual and physical prototyping to achieve superior softgoods design results.

We designed in 3D using virtual child mannequins, and used weighted child models to test the physical cut-and-sew prototypes. Once the concepts were more refined, softgoods prototypes were used to conduct comfort studies with real users, before refining and handing off patterns and tech packs to the manufacturer.
