Strollme: Car sharing for strollers
In its own words, the startup wants to show parents that “use doesn’t always have to mean buying.” Co-founder Timon Beutel says:
"We see that the world is ready for a rethink. People no longer buy cars; they share them. You don't have to own a bike; you use it as long as you need it. We believe this will also work with children's mobility."
Strollme's product range will continue to expand in the future to include additional brands and more categories.
