About Gaaba 乳幼児用カート
Gaabaは、保育施設向けの大型ベビーカーで、日々の散歩や避難時に複数の乳幼児を乗せて移動することを目的として設計されています。フレームは構造的な変形による力の損失を抑え、炭素繊維強化プラスチックの採用により全体重量を軽減しています。大径タイヤ、追加のステップとグリップにより、不整地でもカートをスムーズに通過させることができます。ハンドルの位置は、公表されている保育士の平均身体データに基づく動作解析によって設定されました。Gaabaの寸法は1470×670×1010ミリメートル、重量は25キログラムです。子どもたちを守るとともに、保育者の日常的な負担を軽減することを目指しています。

- Unique Properties
- A large stroller designed as a disaster prevention and evacuation device that enhances survivability by improving rough road running ability and safety as evacuation equipment in the event of a disaster, reducing the burden on childcare workers in normal times, and pursuing ergonomic ease of use. It is designed as a Dual Product (used in both normal times and emergencies) that combines these two goals and it can protect children in case of emergency.

- Production Technology
- The frame is designed to minimalize the loss of force due to the deformation of the structure. CFRP is used largely as the structural material to reducing the weight.
With the perspective of ergonomics, the position of the pushing handle were determined by the motion analysis performed for the average physique information of childcare workers published by the Japanese government agency.
In addition, large tires, additional steps and grips are equipped to break through rough terrain in evacuate. - Inspiration
- Japan is one of the world's leading earthquake suffering countries. Countless lives had been lost in Tsunami and fire caused by giant earthquakes. Infant childcare facilities are no exception to suffer and it may require evacuation to the outside. A transporting infants who cannot walk on their own is indispensable. In addition, it's common in many childcare facilities to take a little walk with 4 to 5 infants on a cart to near park. Large strollers have been used for both daily and evacuate.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2020 in Tokyo Japan.
- Operation Flow
- The existing carts weighs too heavy to operate and is a heavy burden for childcare workers, while the design of existing products has not changed significantly for a long time.
