Shared strollers appear in Wuhan parks

A technology company in Wuhan, Hubei province, has rolled out shared strollers, including at some scenic spots, aiming to make life easier for parents with young children.

About 500 of the yellow Kangaroo strollers were distributed citywide on Sunday, such as at Wuhan Botanical Garden and East Lake Moshan Scenic Area, in time for the three-day New Year's holiday.

Like shared bikes, the strollers can only be unlocked using an app, which requires users to pay a 99 yuan ($15) deposit and input their cell phone and ID card numbers to register. They can then scan a QR code to get the four-digit code to unlock the rear wheel. The app also has a map function that shows users the nearest available stroller.
