(老人家開箱文) 小朋友的多用途耗電車--- Globber 5 in 1 unboxing<中英文版>


冰淇淋最近已經進入了我們必須邊跑邊追的時期了,特別是每次到了大馬路冰淇淋還不給牽,搞得我們夫妻很緊張,常常只能硬把他整隻橫抱起來過馬路,所有路人就會看著這小屁孩在半空中用力掙扎地揮舞手腳跟扭動身體,然後過了馬路放下來後又是繼續追。

Recently Ice cream has grown into the period of time that we need to non-stop chasing at him. Especially when we try to cross the street with busy traffic and he insists not to have his hand held by us, then his mother and I can only choose to grab him from the belly and carry the little guy in the air so everyone would see a little monster crazily brandish four limbs while "swimming across the street". Of course it comes another chasing game after this.


出門的時候,冰爸冰媽兩人就是輪流追小孩,三不五時追到頭昏眼花,然後等冰大爺跑累了又轉回來我們抱(有時如果只附近走走我們就不會帶推車),搞得夫妻兩人體力耗盡。

In order to save some body strength, his mother and I always take turns to chase the little beast. While after he's satisfied with the running, he would turn back to us and ask for our carrying (we don't always bring the stroller out), and that is the time when we get our strength depleted....



為了解決大人體力過度消耗但是小朋友電力用不完的問題,我們很努力地找冰淇淋可能會想玩但又能消耗體力的東西。上網搜尋了一下,先看到“後控三輪車”(有附加手把給父母從後方推的那種腳踏車),老婆是很想要,但是我們家實在不大,想到如果之後他想要滑板車又得買一台,家裡就都被這些車子擠滿滿了…

In order to solve the problem, we tried really hard to find something that might interests Ice cream and also be able to use up all his batteries.

I spent sometime searching online and first it comes the "tricycle with a long handle bar" so parents can control the direction and speed of the tricycle from the back. My wife loved it whereas I think we will still have to buy another scooter when he get a bit older but there's absolutely no room in our house to contain both....

於是,萬能老爸我終於在一個禮拜每天努力爬網路讀文章後,找到了一個完美的解決方案:嘿對!就是這個了,不僅能多功能消耗小屁孩體力,還能在他累了的時候替代老爸老媽的手臂給他坐著的.....

After a whole week of web surfing and really hard reading (I don't usually read...), the dad finally found a perfect solution which can not only to deplete the little monster's energy but also can substitute our exhausted arms when he feels tired:

GLOBBER 5 in 1! 


我就邊開箱邊解說了~
This is my unboxing review~




完整盒裝
The packaging








五階段模式
5 ways of using it




箱子外有小朋友坐上去的示意圖
There are images showing how it looks like when a kid's using it




拆開後,就能看到幾個零件,經過簡單的幾個步驟就可以組成一台車啦!
Unbox it then you would see four parts that can be assembled to a bike or scooter




軟硬適中的透明輪子,不僅能吸震還能增加車子轉彎的穩定性
Wheels with silicon cover. The cover can absorb the shaking and makes it more stable while its running




Globber大大的字樣就印在坐墊上
A big GLOBBER on the seat




前端黑色圓鈕壓下去可以鎖定輪胎轉向,據說是適合剛學滑板車的小朋友,讓他們先學會直線再學轉彎。
Press the black button in the front and you can fix the direction to only straight. It is said to help little kids to learn how to ride the scooter in the beginning.




當把按鈕下壓時,可以看到底部紅色T型卡榫也跟著下壓,然後卡住轉盤
When you press the button down, you can see the red latch in the bottom of the scooter stuck the turntable of wheels.




後輪也有防噴水的設計,騎過水灘不用擔心小朋友背後多一條黑線
There is a wheel cover designed to prevent water spay so even when it's wet outside, you don't need to worry about having a dark line in the back of your kid's shirt.




座墊後是接輔助手把,有個紅色卡榫銜接
The joint that links the seat and the long handle bar. The red latch makes sure the joint is tightly fixed.




輔助手把的部份
The long handle bar




輔助把手除了可以調整高度,還有弧形扣環可以將把手穩穩鎖緊,騎起來完全不會晃動
The height of handle bar is adjustable and you can tightly fix the handle bar so it won't even shake a bit while kid riding the scooter or parents controlling the bike.





輕薄的說明書,但其實組裝起來很簡單,就算不理它也沒關係
Really thin and small instruction which could be neglected as it is super simple to assemble.




輔助踏板。旋鈕處可以轉開,隨時把踏板裝上或是取下。
The footrest for bike. You can twist off the knob to put in or take off the footrest.




車身本體,當變為滑板車時,這底座可以承受50kg的重量
The body of the scooter, it can carry up to 50kg of weight.





*第一階段組成 The first usage

全部都裝起來
We assemble all parts

雖然單獨看起來有點奇怪,但是小朋友騎上去就會發現設計得很不錯
It looks a bit weird along but when the kid is on it you will fing it quite well designed.




*第二階段組成 The second usage

拿掉腳踏板 Simply take off the footrest

我一開始一直覺得這階段感覺用意不大,但實際上冰淇淋在騎的時候,如果他想自己用腳滑,我們就可以把踏板拆下來,方便他用腳滑,如果想休息,就可以把踏板裝上去讓他踏腳。

Originally I think there's not much different from the first usage but actually when Ice cream's pushing or stopping the bike with his feet, the footrest might stuck his feet and get a bit dangerous; while if there's no footrest and he wants to rest his feet, he would just lay on the wheels and get a bit dangerous again. So we actually need to take out and put back the footrest many times depend on his situation and therefore if you have a back-and-forth kid like ours, it can be a bit tiring.

不過如果有腳踏板時他卻想用腳滑,其實就會卡到腳;然後沒有腳踏板時,他又懶得滑的時候又會把腳擱在輪子上,也是感覺很危險,所以就變成要常看他狀況裝裝拆拆,對他這種反覆個性的小孩,爸媽會稍微累一點。





*第三階段組成 The third usage

拿掉輔助手把,就可以讓小孩自己滑囉!
You can also take out the long handle so the kid can ride it himself/herself.




*第四階段組成 The fourth usage

把座墊移除,再將原來的輔助手把裝上就變滑板車了
Take out the seat and add on the long handle --- it becomes the scooter!!




*第五階段組成 The fifth usage

增加輔助手把的高度,讓之後長大的小孩可以繼續使用
Just a lightly different. Elongate the long handle and the kid can still use it when he/she grow up a bit.




冰淇淋:講那麼久了…可以讓我試乘嗎?
Ice cream: so.... can I ride it now?




冰淇淋開心騎車,苦命冰媽頭髮被吹亂也管不了,只能繼續當奴才推車
Ice cream proudly rode the bike while the poor mom could only push the bike without caring the crazy hair all over her face...







其實冰爸冰媽都有感覺到座椅與底板雖然只有靠前面支撐,但還是覺得非常的堅固,且因為後端沒有支架,所以會有些緩衝吸震的作用,坐起來應該會比較舒服,這在小孩子還沒坐上去之前壓輔助手把就可以感受到了。

Even though the seat looks a bit hanging (not totally fixed in the back side) but it is actually very sturdy. Because there is no stand in the back side of the seat, it provides the seat some resilience and makes it more comfortable while riding. You can feel the resilience by simply pressing on the long handle bar.




我可以一直用腳煞車耶!(這搞怪的個性跟媽媽差不多)
Hey look! I can keep stopping the bike with my feet! (His naughtiness probably comes form his father...)





跟媽媽一起推車也很好玩
It's also fun to push the bike with mama~




自己牽車比較帥!
Walking my own bike is more dashing!!




一周之後~
A week after...

帶這台Globber回去找姪子姪女給他們試玩,剛好他們也有一台可以轉龍頭部滑板車,當然…兩人就要準備尬起來啦!
Brought the Globber back to parents home and let my nephew and niece to do the test ride. They just happened to have a scooter already and now they can do the racing....




哥哥永遠都比較誇張,很努力衝刺,但衝半天也沒比較遠 XD
My niece is always over-exaggerated. Keep slamming on the gas and the scooter's still going anywhere. Lol.




阿罵:快!你的車子被哥哥姐姐搶走了
冰淇淋:...(奔跑去)

Grandma: Go go go! Your bike was taken away...
Ice cream: .... (Chasing his bike)




妹妹的小美腿滑車子,五歲小朋友騎起來很剛好
The scooter with the beautiful leg of my niece. The size is perfect for a 5 year-old kid.




7歲的哥哥騎起來也不覺得小~

就說哥哥很誇張....不過騎個車,這麼多表情幹嘛?

Not even small for a 7 year-old kid...
Don't know why he need such an exaggerated face while riding it...




優雅的妹妹,希望冰淇淋長大也跟妹妹一樣優雅
The elegant sister. Hope Ice cream can be as elegant as she is when he grows up.




冰淇淋…繼續開心跑跑跑
Ice cream... keeps running...




其實可以注意到,兩個姪子姪女都已經把輔助把手調高了,也就是一開始介紹的第五階段,他們兩目前七歲跟五歲,所以這台車的使用期是真的算蠻久的,畢竟底板承重高達50kg,要超過也不太容易。

It can be noticed that the long handle has been adjusted to fit their height. Like what I introduced in the beginning, it is the 5th way of using Globber. As the size is suitable for kids from 1.5 to 5-7 yr and the sole plate can stand up to 50kg in weight, the bike/scooter is supposed to be used for really a while of time.




真美!
My beautiful niece...




小公主飛飛!
Flying princess!




還在跑…冰淇淋要回家了啦!
Ice cream... still running..  Lol~







這種車款有幾點須要注意:

因為他的轉向並不是像一般單車的龍頭轉向,可以立即轉彎,而是要用重心偏移壓的方式往側偏,車子方向才會跟著微轉,所以冰淇淋在幾次試乘的期間都沒有因此摔倒過,不過習慣立即轉彎的小朋友一開始使用可能會覺得很難轉。

回顧到一開始說軟硬適中的輪子,因為要用左右壓的方式,當重心偏移側邊時,輪子因為有彈性,轉彎的時候貼地性比較強,轉彎的時候穩定性高也會比較好轉,這個應該是他們測試很久才決定的吧!

There are still things needed to be addressed:

It is not like a usual bike that can turn immediately while you turn the handle. It kind of tilt a bit while you are shifting your balance and therefore Ice cream never really fall from the bike, but kids who are used to the immediate turning of bicycles might need some time to get used to it.

Let's back to the bouncy wheels. Due to the elasticity the wheels have, they attach to the ground tightly while we try to turn and that helps the bike to be more stable while turning. I guess it's tested many time when the company was producing it.


左至右圖為重心由左至右,前輪方向會有小幅度變化
Shifting the balance from left to right and you can see the direction of the wheels changes a little bit.


可以參考以下影片
Or you can see the video of how it moves.




我後來問了一下姪子姪女比較喜歡那一台,他們兩竟然異口同聲的說轉不太動的這台滑板車,我又問為什麼?可以轉龍頭的不是比較方便嗎?姪女不太會解釋,只說她就是比較愛這台,但姪子說他可以用壓的方式轉彎啊!

哈~我還是沒問到我要的答案,不過小孩子喜歡玩就好,安全也是很重要,但小幅度的轉彎須要比較大的空間來玩還是比較適合啦!

After that, I asked my nephew and niece which scooter they like more. And their answer were surprisingly the same: Globber. I asked them why they prefer Globber but not the scooter they can turn immediately, my niece didn't know how to explain and my nephew just said he can still turn the scooter by shifting balance.

Although still did not get the answer, but I guess it fine as long as they like it and it's safe... Just that it might needs a bigger space to play with.



冰淇淋:車車還我了啦!
Ice cream: can I have my bike back?



話說當初冰爸我網路下單的時候還把冰媽嚇了一大跳,想說平時省吃儉用餐餐只想吃滷肉飯的我竟然願意砸下幾千塊買這麼高檔的東西。

但是因為這台車的5合1功能,一台Globber能當手推三輪車、滑步車、滑板車三台車用,讓小朋友能從1歲玩到8-9歲都沒問題,完完全全符合了冰爸的省錢摳門喜好,才讓我甘願咬牙刷卡買下。

雖然冰淇淋現在還沒法騎滑板車,也還不太會滑步,不過至少能加減省去一些爸媽追小孩抓小孩的時間跟體力。希望冰淇淋快快長大,學會自己騎滑步車跟溜滑板,到時候爸媽就可以在旁邊納涼囉~

Whereas I did surprised my wife with spending such the amount of money for Globber. Being a frugal dad, I always choose the cheapest meal to eat and this is one of the few things that I am willing to spend.

Only a bike/scooter that has so many ways to play and suitable for kids from year 1 to 8 or 9 can fit my stingy requirement.

Although Ice cream still cannot ride the bike or scooter itself, but at least it can save some kid-chasing time and energy of his poor parents. Hope he grows up quickly enough and the day that we can just sit on the chair watching him play would soon to come....
