On Toei buses, by fixing the stroller with the (green or blue) belt provided inside the bus, you can ride with your child in the stroller.
There are two places to secure wheelchairs and strollers inside the bus (see 「Boarding space when using a stroller」below). If the wheelchair/stroller is already secured, please fold the stroller or use the next bus.

Precautions when using a stroller
- Please lock the wheels, fasten your child's seat belt, and hold firmly during the ride.
- When a passenger rides with a horizontal double stroller, we would ask passengers who sit in the seats where is the area to fix stroller (two seats per stroller) to yield. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
- In the following cases, it is necessary to fold to use.
(1)When using a wide stroller that cannot board unless it is folded, or a stroller without a seat belt or stopper
(2)If there is already a passenger using a wheelchair or stroller on board and there is no available boarding space.(See 「Boarding space when using a stroller」)
(3)When it is crowded and strollers cannot pass
(4)When bringing a stroller used as a luggage cart - We may ask you to refrain from boarding if you are using a stroller that cannot be turned while blocks the aisle inside the vehicle.
