Ltd. is developing "BabyCal," a reservation-based stroller rental service that can be conveniently used on the go, with the aim of realizing a society in which the child-rearing generation can casually go out with their children.
The stroller rental service will begin at the "Railway Museum" on September 17 in cooperation with the East Japan Railway Cultural Foundation. The strollers available for rent are the Combi SC61 (Type A) and three types of Shinkansen model strollers (Type B).
We will continue to expand the number of locations and services in order to create an environment where people of child-rearing age can go out more easily.
