The Tariffs Are Coming For Baby Products
'These tariffs are essentially a baby tax on already-struggling families,' says one CEO of a baby registry company. If you buy something using links in our stories, we may earn a commission. Learn more. Being a parent is an expensive experience. A stroller alone can easily cost over a thousand dollars, not to mention the constant new clothing as children grow, formula and food for them to eat, and the rising costs (and challenge to find) of childcare. Unfortunately, there's no reprieve in sight, especially thanks to the new tariffs. While there have been delays on some tariffs hitting areas like consumer technology and cars, and tariffs for several countries have pauses until July, tariffs for China have already kicked in at up to 145 percent. A huge percentage of products like car seats and strollers are made in China, putting them immediately under the heat of higher prices. 'We're already seeing a significant—and potentially devastating—impact on the cost of baby items,' says Natalie Gordon, founder and CEO of Babylist. Most baby gear brands I reached out to declined to comment on any price increases they expect to see as the tariffs set in. Only one has confirmed for me so far. Cybex, maker of strollers and car seats, sent me the following statement: 'Due to the impact of current global trade conditions and ongoing supply chain challenges, pricing adjustments will be implemented effective May 1.' But I wouldn't be surprised if more baby brands are set to follow the same plan, and just have yet to make a public statement about it. It's the same plan I've seen in other categories like digital notebooks. Babylist, in contrast to the brands themselves, is a third-party marketplace designed around parenting gear and baby registries, and it is already seeing price changes happen in real time. 'Brands are delaying inventory shipments and actively exploring price increases,' says Gordon. 'One major stroller brand is considering raising prices by $300 to $400 on some of their most popular models. Others are adjusting prices incrementally, product by product, but these decisions are shifting daily.' Made in China With the tariffs hitting China particularly hard, worries about buying a technology device in time were the first concern. But China's also a big maker of baby products, especially some of the big-ticket essential items you'd find on any baby registry. 'Ninety-seven percent of strollers and 87 percent of car seats are manufactured in China. These aren't optional purchases. New parents can't go without them," says Gordon. This is especially true for a car seat. Unless you live somewhere with fantastic public transit outside your hospital, something only a few major American cities can claim, you won't be able to take your baby home without a car seat to place them in. Some hospitals even ask that you load your baby into that car seat before you even head out to your car, so they see you do it. Kids also grow into larger car seats and booster seats over the years, all of which could see price hikes. Gordon's concern with these tariffs are the effect they'll have on safety. 'They create an unnecessary and unfair financial burden on families at one of the most vulnerable times in their lives,' she says. 'This isn't just inconvenient—it threatens access to critical child-safety gear. If these tariffs stay in place, we're looking at skyrocketing costs and potential shortages of must-haves.' A Murky Future In a country where there's a push to increase birth rates (and concern about access to abortion rights), it's counterintuitive to see that the cost of having a child is only going to rise. The Trump administration is considering things like a $5,000 baby bonus after giving birth, which often isn't enough for the hospital bill, let alone enough to pay for increasingly expensive safety products. 'It shouldn't cost more to become a parent in America,' says Gordon. 'These tariffs are essentially a baby tax on already struggling families. And the reality is, you can't delay essentials like a crib or a car seat—your baby needs them when they need them.' Cybex also acknowledged the undetermined future (a phrase current parents have already heard time and time again between the pandemic and now) ahead in the company's statement. 'While the future remains somewhat uncertain, we understand the challenges facing our customers during these unprecedented times, and we're continuing to evaluate market dynamics and operational costs in real time.' Where does that leave us? Gordon expects a big move to secondhand purchasing. Babylist recently took a poll and found 67 percent of expecting parents who answered it planned to purchase things secondhand, and there are Facebook communities like Buy Nothing groups and parenting groups where you can find or sell secondhand items. Babylist also has support for this, with an 'open to secondhand' option you can add to a baby registry and tips about how to shop secondhand baby gear. The most important product to check if you're shopping secondhand is car seats. These have expiration dates, so be sure to check them if you're shopping for a car seat secondhand. What to Buy Now So, should you shop now ahead of more tariffs? Gordon says yes. 'If you know what you want and you're in a position to purchase directly or share your registry now, it could be a smart move— especially for big-ticket items,' she says. While Cybex has confirmed increased prices, it's been a maker of some of my favorite baby gear. I'm currently testing the Cybex Callisto G 360 car seat, which is a rotating all-in-one car seat you could use from infant stage all the way until a child is up to 120 pounds. Yes, you read that right—Cybex claims it can fit 10-year-olds with its adjustments. All-in-one car seats like these are a great investment right now, since you won't need to upgrade to a different car seat later, though you'll miss out on the convenience of carrying an infant car seat inside or moving it from the car to a stroller. Speaking of strollers, those are another big-ticket item that can rise in price. The models I've found myself using the longest are actually travel strollers, since these tend to work better with your kid for longer and are more compact to use every day. These have limited compatibility with car seats for infant use, though, and don't face inward (but that's a pretty short-lived stage). My favorite is the Nuna TRVL, but the Bombi Bēbee V2 is pretty similar for a cheaper price, and has car seat adapter straps that work with a ton of popular infant car seat brands like Graco, Nuna, and even Uppababy. There are plenty of other big-ticket items to consider beyond these—cribs! bassinets! breast pumps! baby monitors!—but it's up to you to figure out what to invest in now, and what you might want to gamble on the price of later.

Is Cybex's motorised pram worth its £1,000 price tag?
Pushing kids around in a buggy is exhausting. It can be incredibly energy-sapping when you're already sleep-deprived, and it gets a little harder every day as your kids grow heavier. That's why motorised prams are becoming so popular. Motorised prams - also known as e-prams - use an electric motor to help you tackle steep streets and uneven pathways. The award-winning Cybex e-gazelle S is the brand's latest e-pram. On top of the usual claims that it can tackle mountainous streets, crack-riddled tarmac and root-rigged woodlands, Cybex says it can carry two children from birth up to four years old. It also boasts a rocking feature, which moves the pram back and forth to lull your baby to sleep. I tested this pram for more than six months to put these claims to the test. Is it really worth £1,000? It's certainly not without its teething problems. How I tested I've been using this pram for more than six months to see how well it copes with parents' everyday needs. I assessed everything from its battery life to its design and ease of use to see whether it's worth splurging on this motorised model. Why you can trust IndyBest reviews At IndyBest, reviewers put products to the test in real-world conditions so they can give you their honest opinions about performance and value for money. Journalist and mother Harriet Brewis has reviewed several parenting products for IndyBest, so she was well-placed to put the Cybex e-gazelle S through its paces.

CYBEX recalls over 24,000 infant car seats over safety risk
As parents, we rely on trusted brands to keep our little ones safe—especially when it comes to car seats. That's why it's important to stay informed about recalls like this one. Cybex has issued a (NHTSA 25C002) of select Aton G and Aton G Swivel infant car seats manufactured before May 10, 2024. The issue? Certain actions can cause the harness anchor pin to dislodge when the seat is not in use. While no injuries have been reported, Cybex urges parents to install a free product update kit to ensure continued safety. If you own an affected seat, here's everything you need to know. Cybex identified a potential defect with the Aton G infant car seat, which is part of both the Aton G and Aton G Swivel child restraint systems. If the seat is slid or scraped over a sharp edge—such as a countertop or the edge of the Aton G Swivel Base—the harness anchorage hooks can bend. If this happens, the harness anchor pin could become dislodged when the seat is not in use. Related: Check your baby high chair—this recalled model poses a major safety risk When a child is buckled in, the harness anchor pins cannot come loose. The risk could occur when the seat is not in use—the harness strap could detach. Caregivers will notice any harness detachment when checking harness tightness and securing a child. In a crash, a detached harness could fail to properly restrain the child, increasing the risk of injury. This recall applies to Aton G and Aton G Swivel infant car seats and select travel systems manufactured before May 10, 2024. If you own one of the following model numbers, your seat is included: Aton G: 522001441, 522001443, 522001445, 522001447, 522004777, 522004779 Aton G Swivel: 522004167, 522004169, 522004171, 522004173, 522005099, 522004781, 522004783 Eos and Aton G Travel System: 522003793, 522003795, 522003797, 522003799, 522003897 Eos and Aton G Swivel Travel System: 522004805, 522005355 The model number and manufacture date can be found on a label located on the bottom of the seat. Cybex will provide all affected consumers with a free product update kit starting April 4, 2025. This kit includes a device that locks the harness and harness retention pin in place, along with instructions for installation. Before each use, check the harness anchor retention hooks for any damage. If the hooks appear bent or compromised, stop using the seat immediately and contact Cybex for assistance. Parents can request their free product update kit by contacting Cybex at 1-877-242-5676 (Monday–Friday, 8 AM–5 PM ET). The company asks that consumers do not return the car seats to retailers. For more details, including demonstration videos, visit Cybex's recall website. While recalls can be alarming, Cybex has taken proactive steps to address the issue and keep little passengers safe. If you own one of these car seats, be sure to check your model number, request the repair kit, and inspect the harness retention hooks before each use. Parenting comes with enough worries—let's take this one off your plate by spreading the word and ensuring all affected car seats get the fix they need. Share this with fellow parents to help keep every child secure on the road. Related: Check your fridge: Kids snack recalled due to undeclared allergens
