Bimby: The Innovative Inflatable Ride On

Designed by Gilad Tal

Bimby is an inflatable ride on specially designed for indoor use, offering a safe and enjoyable way for children to burn their endless energy.

Gilad Tal, the mastermind behind Bimby, drew inspiration from his own young child and set out to create a product that was not only innovative in design, but also safe and visually appealing. The main idea was to design a ride on that would perform exceptionally well in interior spaces, providing a smooth and quiet experience for children.

What sets Bimby apart from other ride ons is its unique construction. Made of soft thick vinyl, the main structure of the product offers natural shock absorption, ensuring a smooth ride even on uneven surfaces. The solid wheel base, crafted from a combination of plastic, aluminum, and wood, provides stability and durability.

One of the key strengths of Bimby is its portability. The ride on comes in a flat, small package, making it easy to ship and store. Upon delivery, the product is inflated, and the four wheels are attached, allowing children to start their adventure right away.

With dimensions of 28cm x 43cm x 25cm, Bimby is designed to fit comfortably in indoor spaces. Its soft structure not only ensures a quiet ride but also protects your space and home appliances from accidental collisions. The use of soft materials and silicone wheels contributes to a safer and more enjoyable experience for children.

The Bimby project started two years ago, with the initial concept taking shape during an industrious night of continual testing. In early 2019, Gilad Tal refined and polished the design to create the product we see today. The concept was developed in Israel, where the designer's passion for creating a safe and innovative ride on for children came to life.

Through extensive research, Gilad Tal identified the need for a ride on that prioritized safety, softness, and quietness. Many existing ride ons on the market were made of hard plastic or wood, which generated noise and posed potential risks to children. By utilizing soft materials and incorporating natural shock absorption, Bimby addresses these concerns and provides a superior riding experience.

Bimby's exceptional design has been recognized with the Iron A' Design Award in the Baby, Kids, and Children's Products category in 2019. This prestigious award acknowledges well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Bimby's integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics contributes to a better world for children.

In conclusion, Bimby, the innovative inflatable ride on, designed by Gilad Tal, offers a unique and safe way for children to have fun indoors. Its soft structure, natural shock absorption, and quiet operation set it apart from traditional ride ons. With its portability and visually appealing design, Bimby is a must-have for any household with energetic little ones.
