UGO Safety Brake

The UGO safety brake is an automatic brake system for strollers and prams that ensures that the stroller cannot roll away accidentally and cause injury to a child. The design relies on a wireless communication between the wheel hub of the stroller and the hand-held unit which is worn by the parent. When the stroller and the parent separate by more than two meters, the wireless connection is lost and the brakes pulse to bring the stroller to a stop. The brake system is powered by the rotation of the wheel and is fully contained within the hub of the wheel.
