In this paper, we develop a baby buggy with new functions which improve road safety. For the development, we decide the concept of policy based on questionnaire survey for users. The questionnaire survey was carried out around the shopping mall close to Minami-Senju station in Arakawa-ku, Tokyo-Metropolitan. The survey point has some characteristics e.g., there is a large number of the vehicle traffic; there is a road connected with train stations; the baby buggy come and go with bicycles on a walkway, and so on. As the result of survey, we can found expectations for improvements of “the single-hand operation” which include a function of single-hand open/fold and straightforward progress. If the single-hand operation is possible, the user is possible to hold children in another hand. In same time, it is expected that the improvement of usability make user available to attend on children for road safety. Then, we developed new functions based on a buggy in the market. Those are the function of single-hand folding, the function of improved straightforward progress and the function of new self-standing. The first, we install a kick-bar. By this development, the single-hand folding is remarkably improved. Also, the kick-bar work as the leg of the self-standing when the buggy is folded. The second, we develop a function of handle-revolution. By this function, straightforward progress will be improved due to tentative combination of handles.
