<sup>The upper line showed the numbers of children under 5 years old in the world from 1950 to 2020. The line increased in the big picture which means the populations of children are getting larger and larger.

The bottom line showed the increased/decreased numbers of children under 5 years old in the world between each year. The numbers are positive in the big picture which means the children’s population is getting larger than previous.</sup>

02) Target Users Analysis

^{After confirming the age range of the product's target users, I further segmented the age groups, as well as explored the relationship between their learning levels, needs, and other relevant factors, to make the analysis more comprehensive and detailed：}

03) Online survey Data

^{I also conducted a survey questionnaire on online parent forums. From the online survey, it's apparent that most parents care about the potential harm posed by current baby walkers which are mainly made of plastic but they don’t have a clear understanding for what kind of harm might affect their children. They express a desire for products made from environmentally friendly, comfortable, and easy-to-store materials, as they often pass on used baby walkers to others who need them.} 

04) Competitor Analysis

^{A good product relies on competitive analysis with other products. I gathered information on children's walking methods and compared the various advantages and disadvantages of different product materials to conduct a thorough comparison:}

05) User Persona 

^{Based on the analysis and summary of the survey results, I created two user personas for children and outlined the specific product needs corresponding to each of them, making the approach more comprehensive and detailed：}

_{Baby Walker}

^{The product can be first used as the Baby Walker. The baby just needs to put his/her hands on the cat's face’s board and then he/she can push it to practice walk.}   

_{Guiding Bench}

^{The product can be secondly used as the Guiding Bench. The walking baby can hold the edge of the guiding bench to learn to walk. There is also a light tape on the guiding bench to show whether the baby is keeping balance or not. The orange light shows not in balance and the green light shows in balance. The light is also twinkling which can attract the baby to walk forward.}

     

              

_{Baby Rider}

^{The product can be thirdly used as the Baby Rider. There’s a seat on the product for the baby to seat on it and learn to ride. The wheels in the bottom also help the product to move. This construction will apply to the baby for older age.}
