“…In addition, the safety, comfort and portability of the baby carriage are also factors that the elderly need to consider when choosing and using the baby carriage. The research progress of baby carriage comfort at home and abroad shows that the design, function, material of baby carriage and the user's needs and habits will affect the comfort of baby carriage (Atthawuttikul & Khongkharat, 2021).…”

With the development of society and the aggravation of the trend of population aging, the elderly with grandchildren has become an increasingly common phenomenon. These elderly people often need to use baby carriages in the process of taking care of their grandchildren. However, the factors affecting the comfort of the elderly with grandchildren using strollers have not been fully studied. The purpose of this study is to explore the factors affecting the comfort of strollers used by the elderly with grandchildren, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the design and improvement of related products. This study adopts the methods of literature analysis, field investigation and experimental research. This paper makes a comprehensive analysis of the comfort of the baby carriage used by the elderly with grandchildren. First of all, through literature analysis, the research results on the comfort and influencing factors of the elderly with grandchildren and baby carriages at home and abroad are sorted out, and the theoretical basis and research framework of the study are clarified. Secondly, through the field survey method, the actual situation of the use of baby carriages by the elderly with grandchildren is collected, and their needs and troubles in the use process are understood. Finally, through the experimental research method, the scene of the elderly with grandchildren using baby carriages is simulated under laboratory conditions. The physiological and psychological indexes were measured, and the main factors affecting the comfort were analyzed.

Egyptological Research of the hieroglyphics of Linen back baby carriers specifically used in ancient Egypt, there is a depiction from a tomb dating back to 1500 B.C. that shows women carrying children in what appears to be white fabric carriers on their backs. Objectives of This article present a thought-provoking perspective on a possible link between ancient Egyptian design and ergonomics. Remember that this is an ongoing field of research, and new discoveries or interpretations may challenge or refine the presented ideas. Always strive to critically evaluate sources and consider alternative perspectives when exploring historical topics. Egyptians were resourceful people and linen was one of their most common textiles. And It's highly they used linen for a variety of purposes, including carrying children. However, since most Egyptians were farmers and laborers, they used simpler methods for carrying their children, such as slings made from scraps of fabrics. The Pharaohs of Egypt innovate the science of ergonomics and the design of infant carriers the value of our pictures for the earliest history of art. Definitive proof of photos ancient Egypt, the explicit evidence does of back baby carriers being used in ancient Egypt, even within the royal household. Considering the cultural context, practical advantages, and potential adaptations for royalty, further research holds promise in unlocking this fascinating aspect of childcare in a bygone era. This article is intended for research informational purposes and should be depended of research professional ergonomics medical advice. And this research paper is a starting point and can be further expanded upon by including specific citations, additional research findings, and personalized discussions based on your specific interests and areas of focus.

Background Utilization of infant carriers (ICs) for childcare activities is common and involves varieties of hip belts to offer maximum maternal and infant support. There is a need to establish ergonomic-based guidelines for IC components as a means of improving their supportive roles. Objective This study evaluated the effects of infant carrier (IC) hip-belt dimensions on the erector spinae (ES) and multifidus (MF) muscles of healthy adult women during front infant carrying tasks. Methods It utilized three hip belts with different width dimensions (2 inch, 4 inch, and 6 inch) attached to the IC during three front infant carrying tasks, respectively. During each 5-min trial, the activities of the right and left components of the ES and MF muscles were simultaneously monitored via surface electromyography (EMG). Asymmetry ratios of the normalized EMG values of the right and left components of each muscle were calculated. Results Utilization of different hip-belt dimensions did not elicit significant (p < 0.05) differences in the electrical activities of the back muscles as well as in their asymmetry ratios. However, marginal differences in the normalized EMG values showed that the 4-inch belt elicited the highest muscular activities in three of the four studied muscles. Conclusion During simulated front infant carrying tasks, hip-belt dimensions of the ICs did not influence back muscle activities in healthy adult women. Long-term effects of IC hip-belt dimensions on back muscle activities should be evaluated in future studies.
