Facility information is updated regularly. [About ShareBuggy’s Service] ◆ How to Use After installing the app, register as a member and log in to ShareBuggy!

We also collaborate with Babydoor shops to perform regular inspections to ensure that the strollers are free from any issues. ● Provision of Simple Cleaning Kits We provide a simple cleaning kit attached to the stroller, which includes hypochlorous acid water, disinfectant wipes, and tissues, so you can clean any areas that concern you. ● Antibacterial Treatment of Dedicated Ports The dedicated ports (the boxes where the strollers are stored) are treated with antibacterial agents to prevent the adhesion of bacteria. ● Response to Dirt/Breakdowns If you encounter dirt or a breakdown during use, please report it, and the stroller will be made unavailable until cleaning or repairs are completed. If you notice any dirt or damage when you start using the stroller, we will quickly provide a replacement. [Contact Information] If you have any feedback or encounter any issues, please feel free to contact us. Operating Company: Babydoor Co., Ltd. info@sharebuggy.jp

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Back holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Back has 123 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Back's written reviews are positive against 23% of ShareBuggy(シェアバギー)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Back ships an update every 3 weeks, ShareBuggy(シェアバギー) every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
