The Future of Baby Care: 'mamaro' at Aeon Mall Musashi Murayama
On October 29, 2025, a new standard for parent-friendly facilities will open its doors at Aeon Mall Musashi Murayama in Tokyo. The ‘mamaro’ baby care room, developed by Trim Corporation, will provide an innovative space for parents and caregivers to tend to their little ones. With features designed to meet various needs, including breastfeeding, diaper changing, and preparing baby food, ‘mamaro’ is set to redefine convenience in baby care.
Since its launch in 2017, the ‘mamaro’ initiative has rapidly evolved, with installations in public spaces and commercial facilities across Japan, achieving over 800 units installed and 1.5 million uses by March 2025. What sets ‘mamaro’ apart is its modular design, which allows for easy installation in existing spaces without the need for extensive construction. Each unit is a private room with a lock, fostering inclusivity and gender equality in public facilities by accommodating all caregivers regardless of gender.
The introduction of ‘mamaro’ at Aeon Mall is supported by TIS Corporation, an advocate of smart service implementations aimed at tackling social issues in Tokyo under the initiative ‘Be Smart Tokyo
’. This collaboration reflects a commitment to enhancing urban living through smart, inclusive solutions.
Features of 'mamaro'
The ‘mamaro’ baby care room is designed for functionality within a compact area, measuring approximately the size of a tatami mat. Here are some key specifications that highlight its practicality:
- - Size: Height - 203 cm, Width - 180 cm, Depth - 90 cm (Interior height - 190 cm, Interior area - 1.28 m²)
- - Facilities: Equipped with a sofa, movable seating, a monitor, and power outlets for added convenience.
- - Technology Integration: The unit is equipped with software that links to a smartphone app, allowing real-time monitoring of usage and the collection of user data.
These features are designed not only to facilitate parenthood but also to encourage gender diversity and inclusion, aligning with SDGs principles. The growth of ‘mamaro’ installations is a testament to its effectiveness and the need for supportive infrastructure for modern families.
