Last steps: iteration06
We are on the good track, it gets better and better, but still some remarks.
Lukas is actually starting to enjoy our loopschip, so that's a good thing.

1st remarks: everyone likes the yellow wheel! The shape and the looks are cool, but what about the therapeutic aspects?

Things to do for the next iteration:
to do,
Make a new chest part (wider!)
Make a stronger seat
make a back-piece
- remove all sharp edges
Making plans: Iteration 03
We realised that the identity aspect is not that important for the parents. It's not the looks of the tool that is the real problem. The real problem is that there is just nothing on the regular market that combines the playfulness of Lukas old loopschip, with the theraputic standards of the tools used at the zonnebloem. All standing-aids are meant for standing, not for playing in. That's why we have to focus on the pleasure aspect from now on. For Lukas, this new loopschip should be fun.
We also have to focus on the convenience-aspect for the parents. It shouldn't be to big, fit in the car, easy to clean,... Convenience is more important than identity!
We also managed to make up a plan for the new Loopschip. The problem will be that the structure in which Lucas has to fit, is so big that it will be virtually impossible (regarding our limited time and resources) to make more than 1 prototype. The first shot will be the right one!

Fun Benchmark
The assignment is divided into 2 main aspects : the fun and the therapeutic aspect. At home the fun aspect is very important, but in 'de Zonnebloem' it's the the therapeutic aspect that is the most important. It's up to us to find the right balance.
The 'loopschip' is a DIY hack of an existing baby 'toy'. The Evenflo 'Exersaucer'.
The things Lukas likes the most about it are: the spring system, the rotation, the sounds the toys make.
