Hart & Hero's Herotron Challenges the Gender Play Gap

Developed with adventurous, action-loving children in mind, the Herotron fuses the practicality of a doll stroller with the excitement of a hero mobile. Hart & Hero, the startup brand bridging the gender play gap, created the Herotron with fun features like a detachable license plate, padded steering wheel, and a side bungee and back pocket. Perfectly sized to carry the PowerPal doll, the Herotron can be paired with other favorites from the brand, like the Power Cape and Power PJs.

"The Herotron is gender-neutral, but it was consciously created to carve a space for boys to experience the benefits of family-oriented pretend play," explains Chanie, Hart & Hero co-founder, "We added the superhero aesthetic because we want to combat the narrative that pushing a doll stroller is soft and weak. As parents, we know the incredible strength that nurture takes."
