I'm a product design major at Columbia College, and my studio class is working on child safety products - stuff like those corner bumpers, door stops, cabinet locks, outlet plugs, etc... I'm gathering some research to find either opportunities for a new type of safety device that hasn't been utilized yet, or ways of rethinking a current product for either a longer (or second) life, or easier recycle-ability(is that a word?).
So if you wouldn't mind taking a moment to answer any or all of these questions, or feel free to add anything else you might find relevant.
-What is your biggest safety concern in the home? And your smallest?
-Where did you get your safety products? What do you plan to do with them when your child grows up?
-Does material or color affect your purchase decision? why?
-Did you have an idea of what safety product you needed before you went shopping? Or, did you buy a safety product you didn't plan on once you got to the store? If so, what prompted that purchase?
-Do you recycle? To what extent?
-Do you have a price limit for these types of products?
These are just a guideline for the type if info I'm looking for. Any information relevant to your methods of protecting your baby in the home would be of help to me in this project.
Thanks in advance parents,
Gabe Weiss
