GoBabyGoTH Model 1

Model 2021 Inspired by the original GoBabyGo project founded by Dr. Cole Galloway, GoBabyGo Thailand adapts toy cars to help children with disabilities move more independently.
For children who have difficulty using foot pedals, our push steering modification moves the activation button to the steering wheel. This allows them to operate the car by pressing a button with their hands, making driving more accessible and giving more children the freedom to explore, play, and experience the joy of mobility.

GoBabyGoTH Model 2, 2024

Some children with disabilities find traditional steering wheels difficult to use due to limited arm strength or difficulty gripping and turning the wheel.
To make driving more accessible, our team adapted a toy car with joystick controls. Children can guide the car by gently moving the joystick in their desired direction, making steering easier and more intuitive.
This modification helps more children experience the joy and independence of mobility.

GoBabyGoTH Model 3, 2025

At GoBabyGo Thailand, our team combines engineering creativity with medical expertise from Siriraj Hospital to develop custom-molded seats for children with scoliosis. Each seat is shaped to fit the child and incorporates a three-point pressure system designed to support spinal alignment and a more balanced sitting position.

By adapting the seating to each child’s needs, we aim to improve comfort and support, helping more children enjoy the freedom and independence of exploring in their GoBabyGo cars.

GoBabyGoTH Model 4, 2026

At GoBabyGo Thailand, student members interested in pursuing engineering in college modified our adapted cars with an add-on automatic braking system. They aimed to make the cars safer while keeping the design cost-conscious.
A front-mounted infrared sensor connects to a 6V relay in the motor circuit. When it detects an obstacle, the relay cuts power so the car stops using its own momentum, typically 10–20 cm before reaching the obstacle. The relay then switches the motor to reverse the car a short distance, giving the driver room to steer away.
Detection can be affected by conditions: bright sunlight and dark-colored objects may reduce the sensor’s range. Click the button below to see how the system works.
