Optimized for Japan's Severe Heat, AIRBUGGY Introduces the 'TEMPO', an Integrated Mesh Baby Carrier for Cool and Agile Movement, Launching on April 23 (Thu).

GMP International Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Keita Haraguchi), which develops 'AIRBUGGY', a brand pursuing safety and quality in baby products, will release the new model 'TEMPO', optimized for Japan's climate, from its 'AIRBUGGY BABY CARRIER (A.B.C)' series on Thursday, April 23, 2026. Japan's summers are becoming increasingly severe and prolonged year by year. Even in winter, extreme cold is less frequent, making how to avoid the 'heat' of a baby carrier—where the baby is in close contact—an important point when choosing a product today. In response to these modern climate and lifestyle changes, we have developed the integrated mesh model 'TEMPO' as one of the choices. Integrated Mesh 'TEMPO' Usable from Newborns While inheriting the highly evaluated 'body pressure dispersion structure that makes you forget the weight' and 'time-saving attachment with magnetic buckle' from the high-end model 'COMFO', it specializes in a highly breathable mesh specification to achieve overwhelming breathability, a light feel, and an affordable, casual price range. ■ Two Lineups to Choose From The existing 'COMFO' model will continue to be rolled out as a high-end 2WAY model where you can switch covers according to the season. On the other hand, 'TEMPO' is positioned as a casual mesh model premised on Japan's severe heat environment. While maintaining the basic performance usable from newborn to graduation, it offers a light wearing feel, ease of handling, and a lower price setting than COMFO, making it an easy choice to incorporate into daily life. ■ 10 Product Features of the New Model 'TEMPO' 01. 'Mesh Material' that gently supports newborns Adopts mesh material with maximized breathability over the entire body, quickly releasing the stuffiness during baby-carrying when heat easily gets trapped. The 3D structure using soft core material supports the baby's head as if wrapping it, making it safe even before their neck is stable. 02. Intuitive attachment. 'Magnetic Buckle' with safety lock Adopts a magnetic buckle that allows intuitive 'click' attachment just by bringing the parts close. It features a safety lock function so children cannot accidentally detach it. 03. 'Silent Buckle' that doesn't disturb sleep When removing the buckle, it has a quiet silent specification. This detailed design pursues the comfort of parents and children so as not to wake a sleeping baby. 04. '3-Layer Pad' that fits perfectly and reduces fatigue The shoulder pads use a '3-layer pad' with inner materials of different thicknesses and structures. It gently fits the body, disperses body pressure, gently absorbs the load applied as you walk, and reduces the burden on your body. 05. 'Best Position Fastener' that grows with your child You can change the hip position (seat height) in 2 stages just by repositioning the fastener. It can always be adjusted to the optimal position as the baby grows. 06. 'Leg Fit Adjuster' supporting correct posture Adjustable with an adjuster according to growth so that the baby's legs naturally open in an M-shape. The thigh area features a quick-drying cover with a gentle touch to the skin. 07. UV Protection & Sweat-absorbent Quick-drying 'Sleeping Hood' The hood protecting the baby from sunlight and wind is made of sweat-absorbent, quick-drying material with UV protection. When not in use, it can be compactly stored in the included pouch and taken out only when needed. 08. Comfortable even on hot days: 'Storage Pouch for Cooling Packs' The storage pouch for the hood secures space for a cooling pack. Even on harsh summer outings, you can comfortably cool the baby from the back. 09. Smart 'Storage Style' on the go Roll it up quickly and secure it with the main body belt to make it compact. It won't be bulky even when put in a stroller basket or bag, making it smart to carry around. 10. Keep it clean every day: 'Easy Care & Washable' Fully washable in a washing machine on the hand-wash cycle. Since the mesh material dries quickly, you can easily wash it and keep it clean at all times.
