🚗 Rental Car: The "Box Car" Setup
A 5-seater compact "Box" car (like a Toyota Roomy) is perfect. High roof, flat floor, incredibly easy to change diapers in the back seat.
- Seat 1 (3mo): Must request an Infant Seat (Rear-facing)
- Seat 2 (4yo): Must request a Junior/Booster Seat
- Rental Companies: Toyota Rent-A-Car or Times Car Rental at Aomori Airport.
Important: Rental staff will hand you the car seats but cannot legally install them. They use standard ISOFIX—just click them in and pull tight!

Infant & Toddler Safety
- The GB Pockit Rule: Do NOT put the 3-month-old in the standard GB Pockit. Use it strictly for the 4-year-old.
- The Carrier is King: Use your ergonomic baby carrier for the 3-month-old. It keeps hands free on the trails.
- Michi-no-Eki: Japan's roadside stations have incredibly clean nursing rooms and diaper tables.
Language & Culture
- Google Translate: Download the offline pack. The live camera translation is flawless for menus.
- No High Chairs Needed: Many traditional restaurants have floor seating (Zashiki) so the baby can simply lie safely on the mat.
