Review the "folding rules"! Parents request with twin stroller January 31 21:29
Regarding the response of Tokyo's Toei bus, which requires twin stroller users to fold and ride, twin parents and support groups urgently review the rules as it becomes difficult to go out and become isolated from society I asked Governor Koike of Tokyo.
Parents and members of support groups raising twins and other "multiple fetuses" met Governor Koike on March 31 in the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
Because twin baby strollers are larger than usual, Toei buses have been asked to fold them when boarding, but calls for improvement have continued, and the city is making adjustments to review the rules.
Members of the group will urgently review the rules, saying that it is difficult for parents to fold a stroller with a child and luggage in both hands and get on a bus, and if going out is difficult, you will be isolated from society and urgently review the rules I requested again.
In response, Governor Koike stated, "We will proceed with coordination with the government and related organizations," and he did not explicitly state when, but showed his intention to review the rules.
Naomi Kakuda, who raised a 3-year-old twin who made the request, said, "I thought that being a child was the safest option to stay at home, but that led to my own isolation and loneliness. , I was mentally cornered and struggled. I think that a twin stroller that would make buses accessible would make it a friendly city for other child care families. "
