  1. First, we want to thank you for your ideas! We feel like there are some very interesting concepts and that a great design can come out of them. Also, we would like to ask some doubts that we have about them.

    Idea 1 (Zeynep Yargin): The first idea is original, we like the concept of putting the bags in the walker, but we believe that it might not be stable because of concentrating the weight in the front and upper part of the walker. Also, it is important to take into account that not every elder person needs a walker and has the same height. Do you have any ideas that take this into account, such as something that can allow the height to be modified? Moreover, we would like to know if the bag can be closed and, in that case, how it is opened and closed, and which system is integrated. Finally, the products that are in the bottom, how are they reached? They might be too low in order to reach the last products of the bag.

  2. Idea 2 (Zeynep Yargin): The main highlights of the second idea are that there is a lot of space to fit products and that there is no need to bend over to reach them, so the products at the bottom can easily be accessed. We would like to know a little more about how the system works in order to move the bag, if it is an electrical system or if there is a mechanical system that allows the movement, such as a rope or a pulley… We also like the fact that there are back legs that make it more stable, but it could be difficult for an elder person to lift them every time they want to move. Have you considered adding some back wheels to help, or maybe adding the legs on the front part of the cart instead of behind? Finally, we would like to know if the bag can be closed or not, and in case it can be closed, how the system works.

    Idea 3 (Zeynep Yargin): The third idea is the most original one, but we are worried about the stability and practicality of the cart. Usually, a shopping cart is used not to have to carry any bags, so we consider that having to carry or buy extra bags is an inconvenience for the user. Also, how would bags be kept in place? If they swing while the person moves the cart, it might destabilize the cart. The image on the low corner of the sketch cannot be seen properly, so we would be thankful if you could provide us with a clearer picture.

  3. Ideas 4 & 5 (Melis Uludag): In these ideas we see a potential final product but we feel like we need more descriptive sketches about all the integrated systems, as well as a small description of what they integrate, how they work, materials, covers… We can guess more or less how the one on the left side works, although we might have the wrong idea, so that’s why we would like further explanation. From this point of view, the one on the right is really difficult for us to figure out how it works.

    Idea 6 (Semanur Akgün): In the idea on the left we consider a brilliant idea to separate the carriage from the bag in order to clean it easily. However, we would like more information and details about how the bag is attached to the structure.

    Idea 7 (Semanur Akgün): We really like the idea that the bag can be put in an horizontal way, as the extra height of the bag is appreciated. However, we are worried about the stability of the cart: two wheels might not be enough to support the horizontal bag on its own. Also, we would like to know the mechanism used to lift the bag from a vertical to a horizontal position, and how the bag can be opened and closed.

    We are looking forward to your answer and what solutions you can come up with to develop these concepts!
