Ethnography Study: POEMS A raw footage of our observation and findings. AMK Hub NTUC Fairprice
Observation & Insights (1) • Observation Documented: 01 May 2013, NTUC Fairprice @ AMK HUB. (On-Site Observation) • - A lot of parents tend to place their overage children on the Supermarket Trolley. • - Some of the observation we identified was that majority of the children and babies seated on the trolley tend to fidget around, some even trying to stand up which could cause potential hazard. • - Most parents were not using the trolley’s baby seat. They rather carry their children/babies themselves as most felt that the trolley’s baby seat is not “safe” for their children. • - Most young children/babies tend to grab anything they could reach for and that could be a potential hazard.
Observation & Insights (2) What are the most important elements and the common theme? SAFETY
Persona (1) “I think of my grandson’s safety whenever I brought him along to the supermarket as I’m having a hard time taking care of him while shopping for groceries.” • Name (Audience): Tan GianKeok • Age: 60 • Gender: Female • Targeted User: Babies/Children at the age of 1 – 2 year old. • Grandmother of a Child • A grandmother for her grandson who is at the age of 1 year old. She bring along her grandson whenever she goes to the Supermarket to shop for groceries. • Being an elderly, her mobility has become slower and this could hinder her from taking care of her grandson efficiently. • Her grandson, only 1 year old, he haven’t have the capabilities of walking around independently and at that age, he’s very playful and loves to grab anything he could reach for. (According to Mdm Tan GianKeok) • Whenever her grandson seated at the trolley seating area, He would start to fidget around and what make matter worse, He would even try to stand on the seat.
Persona (2) “Whenever I go to a supermarket or a DIY store, I would ensure that the surroundings are free of potential dangers” • Name (Audience): Amy Tan • Age: 40 • Gender: Female • Targeted User: Babies/Children at the age of 1-2 year old. • A mother of a son (2 year old) who is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), one of the typical traits of an ADHD child is failing to sit or stand still for a long period of time. • Her son have short attention spans and gets bored easily while in the supermarket andher son would occasionally attempts to get out of the seat. • Her son have a tendency to reach out and grab anything from the shelves and might accidentally damage the objects or even try to stuff them into his mouth. • Amy normally shops with a basket rather than an uncomfortable trolley, but without her son at the seat, he would wander around the supermarket and get lost, or worse still, he might even get into serious trouble. • Therefore she raised the needs to use an improved, comfortable trolley for her son.
Persona (3) “ Other than stressing out with my shopping list, my kids have added to my worries too , therefore I’m always on the lookout for them.” • Name(Audience): Wilson Tan • Age: 45 • Gender: Male • Targeted User: Babies/children at the age of 1-2 year old • A Father of 3 kids • A Father of 3 young and impressionable kids, 2 of them with the age of 2, and the other, the age of 1. • His kids are generally naughty and loves to touch objects and drop fragile objects from the shelves • Sometimes, Wilson will stop to re-browse his long shopping list for a very long period of time, leaving his kids idle. • Wilson have the tendency to bring a car seat along in case more than one of his kids to need take a seat.
Targeted Audience’s Need • Needs: • To prevent their baby/child from standing on the trolley seat. • To prevent the baby/child from fidgeting around and trying to grab anything within their reach. • To ensure that the baby is safe while the parent’s are out shopping for groceries.
Online Research (1) • Effect of bad sitting posture and why there is a need of a back supporter? • Sitting put more pressure on your back than standing does; it's easy to get in the habit of poor sitting posture. • Slouching in a chair or on the sofa for too long can put strain on the muscles and ligaments in your back as they become overstretched. • You can help prevent many back pain problems and spare yourself some pain by practicing good sitting posture • Some example of long term bad practice of sitting posture: • Muscular back pain • Upper back pain • Herniated disc • Pinched back nerve • In order to pervert this problem, we suggested that children/babies should be educated to sit in a good posture even in a shopping cart, and not just at home or in school.
Online Research (2) • An estimated 20 700 (85%) of whom were younger than 5 years, were treated in US hospital emergency departments in 2005for shopping cart–related injuries. • Approximately 4% of shopping cart–relatedinjuries to children require admission to the hospital. Injuries to the head and neck represent three fourths of all injuries. • Fracturesaccount for 45% of all hospitalizations. • Deaths have occurred from falls fromshopping carts • Adult Supervision • It is difficult to browse shelves in a store and closely supervise a child in a shopping cart at the same time. • Morethan 80% of adults leave their children unattended at leastonce during a shopping trip. • 12 Shopping cart–related injuries can and do occur in the time it takes to reach forsomething on a shelf. • The fact that more than 90% ofparents are present at the time of injury indicates that adultsupervision will not reliably prevent these injuries.

Rough Design Statement “I think of my grandson’s safety whenever I brought him along to the supermarket as I’m having a hard time taking care of him while shopping for groceries.” • To improvise a design of a safety Supermarket’s shopping trolley which could be able to keep a safety of the user sitting on the trolley seat. • To prevent baby/children from falling off, standing on the trolley’s seat and fidgeting around that may cause potential hazard. • To prevent baby/children from falling off, standing on the trolley’s seat and fidgeting around that may cause potential hazard. • By having all 3 aspects which are: educational game for the baby, safety ergonomics for the baby/child and safety deterrence for the baby/child to move around or stand on the seat.
Final Design Statement - To design a detachable safety baby seat for supermarket trolley targeted for babies/child of the age of 1 – 2 years old which prevent the babies/child from falling off the supermarket trolley while the parents are busy with the shopping of groceries.
Concept Sketch • This concept sketch is to facilitate how our end product will look like. • In addition to that, the arrows represent areas that need to be improve based on the findings on the potential hazard.
Idealization of Designs (1) 1st Idea: Jeremy. - Make the seat detachable as shown in the photo. (left) 2nd Idea: Sheng Hong. - Place the baby seat and the toy at the front as shown in the photo. (right)
Idealization of Designs (2) • 3rd Idea: Firman. (Left) • Use a designed baby seat and have an attachment at the back of the baby seat to support. • It is a detachable baby seat. • 4th Idea: Kariim. (Right) • Improvising Firman’s idea. • Additional bracket to support the baby seat; make it sturdy. • Having a clamping point so as to make the baby seat detachable.
1st Raw Prototype • Educational game for the baby and act as toy that could divert the attention of the baby/child. • Safety ergonomics for the baby/child by having a baby seat for good posture. • Safety Deterrence for the baby/child to not move around or stand on the trolley by having a baby seat that come equipped with a safety seatbelt.
