US EditionGillibrand: These baby products will skyrocket with Trump tariffs
- Senator Kirsten Gillibrand criticized President Trump's recent tariffs for causing steep price increases on essential baby products in the United States as of May 2025.
- The tariffs, including a 145% duty on Chinese imports, hit products like strollers and car seats because about 90% of these goods are made in China, forcing manufacturers to raise prices.
- Companies such as UPPAbaby and Munchkin have increased prices, with UPPAbaby's top stroller model now costing $1,200 and Munchkin raising prices by at least 20% on most items.
- Gillibrand warned the price hikes will push families to buy older or pre-owned baby gear that does not meet current safety standards and urged immediate exemptions for baby products from tariffs.
- The tariffs have sparked calls for clearer policy, with manufacturers adapting supply chains and legislators proposing laws to disclose tariff-related cost increases to consumers.
