Reducing Injury through Innovative Cot Bed Design

Karekot是一个创新的新苗圃产品，融合了安全，功能和风格在一个独特的，多功能的设计。Karekot是对传统婴儿床设计的全新诠释，以安全为核心，但同样关注美学。Karekot很容易在婴儿床和幼儿床之间切换，为父母和孩子提供一个保护和用户友好的睡眠环境，这将持续整个孩子的成长阶段。在五个国家获得了专利，并完成了预生产原型，我们准备进入下一阶段，最终确定设计并将Karekot推向市场。我是凯瑟琳·帕特森，我有资格做这份工作的主要原因是我是一名母亲。一位母亲在传统的木条小床上照顾孩子时遇到了困难。我的宝宝经常会把她的胳膊和腿卡在婴儿床的栏杆里，或者她会在固体表面上撞到自己。担心她可能受伤，我买了婴儿床保险杠，以为可以保护她，但当我看到上面的小字时，我吓坏了，上面写着有被勒死或窒息的危险，显然对任何婴儿都不够好，更不用说我自己的了！因此，这就是促使我开始我的使命：创造一个婴儿床，它系统地设计了我和无数其他父母面临的所有危险。虽然是出于保护孩子的愿望，但我后来明白了，伤害自己的不仅仅是孩子。由于棉被法规的变化，大多数棉被制造商不生产有下垂边的棉被，这导致成年人在将沉重的幼儿从婴儿床底部抬进抬出时，可能会伤害到他们的背部。我对Karekot的期望是在父母们情绪激动、精疲力竭的时候让他们安心。我认为在21世纪，我们不应该面对婴儿在安全的地方伤害自己，同样，他们的父母也不应该受到潜在的伤害。Karekot的独特功能和创新的跌落机制有望在某种程度上大大减少这种不必要的伤害。我对未来感到兴奋，迫不及待地想在市场上看到Karekot ！

Karekot is an innovative new nursery product that blends safety, functionaility and style in a unique, multi-functional design. Karekot is a fresh take on traditional cot design that has safety at its heart, but is equally concerned with aesthetics. Karekot easily changes between cot and toddler bed providing parents and children with a protective and user-friendly sleeping environment that will last throughout a child's formative years. Patent granted in five countries and with a pre-production prototype complete, we are ready to progress to the next stage of finalising design and taking Karekot to market.I'm Katharine Paterson, and what qualifies me primarily to do this job is that I am a Mum. A Mum who experienced difficulties with her baby in her traditional wooden-barred cot. My baby would regularly get her arms and legs stuck in the cot bars, or she would bump herself on the solid surfaces. Alarmed at her potential for injury, I bought cot bumpers thinking that they would protect her, but I was horrified to read the small print which referred to a danger of strangulation or suffocation, clearly not good enough for any baby, never mind my own! So this is what set me off on my mission to create a cot bed which has systematically designed out all the hazards I, and countless other parents face. Although driven by a desire to protect my baby, I have subsequently come to understand that its not just babies who injure themselves. Due to changes in the cotbed regulations, most cotbed manufacturers do not make cotbeds with drop sides, leading to potential injury to adult backs as they lift heavy toddlers in and out of the bottom of their cots.My ambition for Karekot to provide peace of mind to parents at what is a highly emotional and exhausting time. I do not think that in the 21st Century we should be be faced with babies injuring themselves in their safe places, equally, their parents should not be subject to potential injury either. Karekot's unique features and innovative drop side mechanism will hopefully go some way to substantially reducing such unnecessary injuries. I'm excited about the future and cannot wait to see Karekot on the market!
