OmniO Rider is a stroller which can be folded down and carried as a backpack, ready to be deployed when your tired toddler suddenly decides they can't walk any more (typically at the point you are farthest from home). The device, which recently won "British Invention of the Year Award" at the Gadget Show Live in Birmingham, UK, is currently looking for funding on Indiegogo.

At first glance the OmniO Rider looks much like any other stroller which is designed to fold small enough to fit in the boot of your car, or on public transport. But the minimal frame of the device means that within 30 seconds it can be folded down from a fully-functioning buggy, into a unit which is small enough to be worn like a backpack using the built-in straps.

When folded, OmniO Rider measures just 50 x 40 x 20 cm (17 x 16 x 8 in) and weighs 6 kg (13 lb), with built-in padded straps making it easy to carry backpack-style. As this also makes it IATA cabin baggage-sized, the buggy comes with a cabin bag which can be used to store or cover the buggy, but leaves access to the shoulder harness and carry handle grip.

Its makers say this portability makes the OmniO Rider ideal when traveling, or as children are beginning to walk more themselves. It's suitable from 6 months to 22 kg (48 lb). However, even when in its unfurled buggy state, the OmniO Rider has a couple of nifty features to help it stand out from the crowd, most notably its unique omni-wheel steering system.

Two of the wheels on the stroller are omni-wheels which while rotating like a standard wheel, can also roll sideways. They are also puncture proof and allow the OmniO Rider to easily move over different surfaces whether city pavements or a woodland path. The two omni-wheels can also be moved between the front or rear axle depending on preferred steering style, and the brake is applied via the rear axle either way.

Other, more standard, buggy features include a six-‐point child harness (which doubles -up to act as shoulder and hip straps in backpack mode) along with an included sun canopy and rain cover. There is also an assortment of matching accessories including an insulated drink bottle carrier, a lunch/camera bag, a large shoulder bag, and a foot muff.

The duo behind the OmniO Rider, Markus and Samantha Warwick, told Gizmag they came up with the idea after constantly facing the dilemma of whether or not to take the stroller out for their son who was beginning to be more independent. Sometimes despite insisting on walking, he would suddenly become too tired to carry on, and fall asleep where he was. Markus said because the OmniO Rider can be worn on your back, it's also practical to take on a bike ride (for when you've finished cycling), or other situations where you might not be able to take a stroller.

While it might not be as much fun to use as the Roller Buggy or the Longboard Stroller, or even as gadget-packed as the Origami, the OmniO Rider could certainly come in handy for those times you either need a lightweight and portable stroller, or have a newly-independent and walking toddler who suddenly needs a nap. It also looks slicker than previous backpack strollers like the QuickSmart.

OmniO Rider is currently on Indiegogo and looking to raise US$50,000 by April 25th. An early bird pledge of $350 is currently enough to get you one complete with a sun canopy, rain cover, and cabin bag. Once those have gone it will cost you $400, which is still cheaper than the $500 RRP. Estimated delivery is October, assuming all goes according to plans.

omnio骑士是一个推车可折叠，携带一个背包，准备部署时你累了的孩子突然决定他们再也走不动了（通常是在点你远家）。该装置，最近赢得“英国年度奖”在小秀住在伯明翰，英国发明，目前正在寻找在Indiegogo资金。

乍一看omnio骑士看起来就像是设计折叠SMA其他车我将有足够的以适应你的车，或在公共交通。但该装置的最小框架意味着，在30秒内可以折下一个全功能的车，到一个单位，这是足够小，可以穿的像个背包使用内置的皮带。

折叠时，omnio骑士只有50 x 40 x 20厘米（17×16 x 8），重6公斤（13磅），内置软垫肩带便于携带的背包式。这也使得国际行李舱的大小，该车配备了一个可用于存储或盖车舱内袋，但叶进入肩带携带手柄。

制造商说，这可使omnio骑士理想的旅行时，或当孩子开始走自己的。这是合适的，从6个月到22公斤（48磅）。然而，即使在其展开的omnio骑手稳定的状态，有几个漂亮的功能来帮助它脱颖而出，最引人注目的是其独特的全轮转向系统。

两车轮的车全轮转动时，像一个标准的车轮，也可以滚一边。他们还防穿刺和允许omnio骑士轻松地移动在不同的表面是否城市路面或林间小路。两个全向轮也可以前轴或后轴取决于优先转向风格之间移动，和制动是通过采用后轴也。

其他更多的标准，车的功能包括一六‐点孩子治理（这双打了作为背包模式肩髋带）以及一个包括太阳篷，防雨罩。还有配套的配件包括一个绝缘的饮料瓶载体分类，午餐/相机包，一个大背包，和一个脚套。

他们背后的omnio骑手，Markus和萨曼莎Warwick，告诉Gizmag他们想出这个想法后，一直面临着是否把婴儿车为他们的儿子开始更加独立的困境。有时，尽管坚持走路，他会突然变得太累了，进行，并在他睡着了。马库斯说因为omnio骑手可以戴在你的背上，它也把骑自行车的实用（当你完成循环），或其他情况下，您可能无法采取推车。

尽管看起来不那么有趣的使用滚轮车或长板的婴儿车，甚至是小包装的折纸，的omnio骑士一定能派上用场的时候你需要一个轻便推车，或有独立行走的孩子突然需要午睡。它看起来也更比以前的背包推车像quicksmart。

omnio骑手正在Indiegogo和寻求筹集50000美元4月25日。一个350美元的早期鸟类的承诺是目前足以让你一个完整的太阳伞，雨盖和客舱袋。一旦这些都将花费你400美元，这仍然比建议零售价500美元便宜。估计交货日期是十月，如果一切按计划。
