75 crosswalks. On an average day, when I'm out pushing my 3-year old son in the stroller in Manhattan where we live, I cross the street 75 times with him.
So, around 75 times a day I wonder if that delivery truck will stop, if that SUV will slow down, or if the cabbie is really paying attention to my son in his stroller, to me and everyone else in the crosswalk.
I invented PedX for families like my own with small children who worry about those intersections. PedX is a device attached to a stroller that makes you and your child much more visible to vehicles and pedestrians via three "awareness" features for increased safety:
- A super-bright, "running" LED
- A loud electronic horn
- A rapid-fire, one-touch camera for documentation
Everything is controlled from easy, one-function buttons embedded in sleeves ergonomically shaped to the stroller handles, and a small, wearable camera. No fumbling with a smartphone or other device. For instant on, just press the buttons right under your thumb to light up, announce yourself, or document a bad driver.
