Double buggy divider
Mother with two children, 3 years and 6 months has a double Maclaren buggy. Elder child is mildly autistic and inadvertently causes injury to younger child when both are in buggy. Mother required some form of divider which would prevent youngster being injured but which would also permit them to see each other.
A dividing screen of clear 4mm polycarbonate sheeting is attached to the buggy by a pair of clamp fixings. Clamps remain fixed to buggy and screen is removed to permit pram folding. Polycarbonate was chosen because of its strength and resistance to shattering. Photos illustrate clamps (2 off) and general shape of divider screen.
Screen effectively prevents elder child causing injury to younger whilst permitting both to sight each other.
