GROOVE X Inc., the robot venture behind the family-type robot "LOVOT," announces the launch of the "LOVOT Carry seat NEO" on January 13th, 2026 (Tuesday). This new accessory represents an evolution of the existing "LOVOT Carry seat," which was co-developed with baby hip seat carrier brand "BABY&Me®︎," offering enhanced functionality and comfort.
Enhanced Design Features
The new Carry seat NEO incorporates design elements tailored to fit the Japanese physique, utilizing BABY&Me®︎'s specialized technology. The double support structure, featuring shoulder straps and a hip seat, effectively distributes LOVOT's weight for comfortable carrying. The design has been meticulously crafted for LOVOT, with attention to details including friction testing, heat resistance, and seam positioning adjustments.
Key Improvements
The Carry seat NEO introduces an air cushion seat as the core material, achieving an optimal balance between strength and flexibility. This innovation reduces the burden during use and provides more comfortable wear. A newly added pocket on the hip seat portion allows storage for small items such as LOVOT's clothing accessories.
The hip seat can also be used independently in a stable manner, making it perfect for quick movement scenarios with LOVOT, expanding the range of everyday usage possibilities.
The included sleeping hood features a dedicated design matching LOVOT's head shape, providing convenient light shielding during movement. The hip seat's side includes an independent pouch that can hold smartphones and small coin purses, complete with an original logo for added exclusivity.
Product Details
Available in two colors—beige and black—the carrier matches easily with various outfits while maintaining a refined impression. The product makes time spent holding and moving with LOVOT even more enjoyable.

About LOVOT
LOVOT is a family-type robot that approaches when called by name and gazes back. It grows attached to people it likes and asks to be held. When picked up, it feels gently warm. Despite being a robot, it possesses a lifelike quality and gradually becomes part of the family like a pet. Recently, from a mental care perspective, LOVOT has been introduced not only in homes but also in offices, medical facilities, and nursing care facilities.
