In the meantime, the mothers who were willing to continue cooperating in this research, expressed their readiness to participate in the next parts of the research; including diary and interviews of user tests. After extracting the design criteria from the obtained information, the idea was developed and then by presenting the 3D model of 3 selected designs to the beneficiaries of the research, the first user test was completed. The second user test was also performed in the same way after applying the findings of the previous step. In the third user test, child experts were selected by snowball method and after applying the design requirements to the new product, a prototype of the product was prepared to be presented to the users.
