Prevention Before Panic
A human-presence safety system that alerts when unintended stroller movement begins.
Designed for public spaces. Built for real life.
A human-presence safety system that alerts when unintended stroller movement begins.
Designed for public spaces. Built for real life.
✓ Unintended movement begins quietly.
✓ When attention shifts, there is no warning.
✓ By the time it’s noticed, reaction time is lost.
Hands on the control bar → Disarmed (Green)
Hands off the control bar → Armed (Red)
Unintended movement while armed → Visual & audible alert
Early sensor proof-of-concept video:
This early prototype validates the core logic used to detect unintended stroller movement. The production Control Bar uses an integrated IMU-based sensing system to deliver the same detection capability without wheel wiring.
✓ Logic validated before scaling
✓ Architecture simplified for durability
✓ Designed for universal fit on full size strollers
Integrated IMU motion sensing sealed inside the control bar
Intuitive thumb joystick for simple system navigation and status control
Handle-bar safety levers that automatically disarm the system when a hand is present
No wheel wiring or external sensors required
No phone or app required — works independently
Clear visual + audible alerts for immediate awareness
Universal mounting designed for full-size strollers
✓ No manual ON/OFF switch
✓ Automatically arms and disarms
✓ Enters sleep mode when folded
✓ Screen and alerts off during storage or transport
Designed to improve public safety while piloting exportable innovation.
✓ Controlled, high-density public environments
✓ Real-world testing before global expansion
✓ Supports family safety in tourism spaces
StrollerSense™ has moved beyond concept. Core sensor logic has been validated through working prototype tests, the Control Bar’s industrial design is defined, and an IMU-based safety architecture has been selected for scalable production. The project is now preparing for full prototype development and real-world pilot deployment.
Target raise: $125,000–$150,000 USD to complete final prototyping, safety validation, and deploy pilot units in live environments.
StrollerSense™ was created by Clifford Mathieu, a product developer and patented inventor focused on prevention-first safety design. After previously developing a joystick-based smart mouse, Clifford began exploring how intuitive control systems could be applied beyond computers to everyday products. That exploration, combined with real-world parenting experience, led to the insight that strollers offer no alert when unintended movement begins. With guidance from a robotics systems consultant, Clifford built and validated early prototypes to prove the sensing logic. Today, he leads the development of the StrollerSense™ Control Bar, advancing the system toward pilot deployment in public environments.
Vision:
To make quiet prevention a standard layer of safety in everyday public spaces.
Public spaces are more crowded than ever and shared environments leave little room for error. ✓
Distraction is unavoidable, especially where families are navigating movement, noise, and time pressure. ✓
Safety must be passive and intuitive, not dependent on memory, procedures, or perfect attention.✓
Prevention should happen before panic has a chance to begin. ✓
