Explore & More™ 4-IN-1 Activity Walker

After a “ton” of concepts, countless espressos, late nights and a solid year of hard work, our EXPLORE & MORE™ 4-in-1 Activity Walker was ready to launch—and sold out in 2 hours! We checked in with our designers (and self-proclaimed night owls) Vincent Ventola and Benjamin Bearsch, for a deep dive into the creative minds behind this brilliant design.

meet the DESIGNERS

BEN BEARSCH, Design Director

Skip Hop’s head design honcho (and dad of 2) got his start in furniture design and might have been a sculpter if he wasn't a designer.

VINCE VENTOLA, Product Designer

With his passion for both science and art, our resident video games lover gravitated toward toy design to engage both sides of his brain.

"The initial inspiration was ‘a walk in the park.’ I imagined our walker helping kids take their first steps to exploring the world around them.” –VINCE

"When Vince came up with a way to convert the cart to the doll stroller, we knew we were on to something.”–BEN

design team INSPIRATION

step outside of the studio

“I love viewing traditional sculpture, especially classical—seeing lifelike details that were carved into stone with simple tools both inspires me and puts things in perspective. I also love looking at art made for video games and animation. Innovative playgrounds are another inspiration." –VINCE

take a breather

“Getting everything through testing and tooling is the most stressful part of designing. Taking my dog out for a walk is always a great way for me to clear my head.” –BEN

all about the soundtrack

“When I’m working on something important, I listen to epic movie and video game scores.” –VINCE
