Abstract: While most oral liquid drugs for children is impeccable in taste, and the packagings are also basically suitable. But for younger children the existing packagings are faced a series of issues, such as sucking difficulties, easily spilling out when they grasp to drink independently. By the analysis and research of 1-3 year-old children’s psychological and physiological characteristics, based on ergonomic principles, this paper designed an oral liquid drug packaging for the special group of younger children and this made a deeper study on packaging practicability and rationality of the drugs. The cap adopted a structure similar to pacifier, the straw’s diameter was increased and was designed integrated with the cap. So the sucking force was reduced, and the spilling liquid was avoided when drinking. Added the special shaping design the younger children’s fear of taking the drugs could be removed largely.
