FAQ

Questions about AirBuggy

  • Q

    In what country is AirBuggy produced?

    AirBuggy is an original Japanese stroller brand produced by us here at GMP International Co., Ltd.
    Starting out as a Japanese agent for Baby Jogger, the original designer of the three-wheel stroller, our company established our own original brand, Airbuggy, out of a desire to provide three-wheel strollers that better match the Japanese lifestyle, and we have developed products based on feedback from customers.

  • Q

    What is the difference between a three-wheel and a four-wheel stroller?

    The main difference between the three-wheel style and the four-wheel style is the handling. Strollers move forward with the direction in which they are traveling controlled by the handle. For a four-wheel style stroller with left-and-right front wheels, it is necessary to control each of the front wheels using both hands. In contrast, for a three-wheel style stroller it is possible to control movement with one front wheel positioned as the center of the direction of travel, and so more instinctive handling is possible. Please try out the two styles at a nearby store to experience the difference for yourself.

  • Q

    Where can I see AirBuggy products?

    You can see AirBuggy products at our company’s directly managed stores and partnerships located throughout Japan.
    Please check in advance with your local store regarding AirBuggy product displays available at that store.

  • Q

    Where can I purchase AirBuggy products?

    AirBuggy products can be purchased at our company’s directly managed stores and partnerships located throughout Japan, as well as over the Internet and telephone.

Questions about products

  • Q

    From what age can the AirBuggy be used?

    AirBuggy Coco can be used with children ranging from infants who can hold their head up (around three months of age) to young children aged around four years (until the child weighs 15 kg). For newborns, we recommend that the strollers be used with the Baby Travel System whereby the Maxi-Cosi child seat is attached to a face-to-face stroller.

  • Q

    Can the stroller be folded up?

    AirBuggy strollers can be folded up in a fold-in-half-vertical style.
    Hold the folding levers on either side of the handle and push the handle downwards. In order to prevent the stroller from folding up suddenly because of incorrect handling, it is not possible to fold the stroller with only one hand.

  • Q

    What is the AirBuggy 4-in-1?

    This is a new concept presented by AirBuggy that applies the AirBuggy stroller frame to transporters other than strollers, such as dog carts and shopping carts. Even after your child has graduated from the stroller, it can still be used for a long time by exchanging the seat for another unit. AirBuggy Coco is a stroller that was developed based on the AirBuggy 4-in-1 concept. For details, please see the AirBuggy 4-in-1.

  • Q

    Is it possible to attach/remove the seat and/or canopy (roof)?

    It is possible to attach/remove the seat and/or canopy of the AirBuggy Coco stroller simply with no tools required. Remove the seat for washing (hand-washing is recommended) or replace the cover using the seat set (launched in early 2011; sold separately) to enjoy different color variations.

  • Q

    Is the front bar necessary?

    For very young babies, using the stroller with the front bar removed makes it easier to put baby in /take baby out of the stroller. When baby’s waist becomes more stable and begins to lean forward in the seat, we recommend using the front bar. Furthermore, regardless of whether or not the front bar is used, please make sure that baby is always firmly secured by the five-point seatbelt when sitting in the stroller.

  • Q

    How much weight (up to how many kilograms) can the shopping basket hold?

    The load capacity of the shopping basket is 5 kg. (Combined with the 15 kg load capacity of the seat, the stroller’s total load capacity is 20 kg.)
    Never place items with sharp points, liquids, or flammable items in the shopping basket.

  • Q

    What is required for the Baby Travel System?

    The Maxi-Cosi baby seat for newborns (CabrioFix/Pebble) and adaptor for attaching the baby seat to AirBuggy Coco (sold separately) are necessary components of the system. If you expect to use the Baby Travel System, please check the availability of the adaptor before purchasing the stroller.
