Looks like fun challenge!

How about posting it in the Design forum?

Very nice idea!! Unfortunately - anyone can just copy paste your great pram and just alter it so it win by a cm. I have allready done that, but Ill see if I can make one on my own, as I see that the first one perhaps will be disqualified - I wont post it anyway :wink:

OK. I made one that is a bit better. The only thing I copyed was the wheels. Hey - why bother re-invent the wheels? :roll:

EDIT - Found out I have to use the undo-trick to make it work.

Not a champion for no reason very nice

... i guess i think over complexed yours is much lighter but has one piont of pivot.. mine has 3 pionts of pivot. and i already disigned another version that is majorly changed as far as suspension goes.. that one has to go one the top ones for simplicity and lightness
