🇺🇸👶📈 Trump Administration Weighs Tariff Exemptions For Baby Gear Amid Price Surge
🔹 Summary:
The Trump administration is considering exempting car seats, strollers, cribs, and other essential baby products from Chinese tariffs of up to 145%, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told Congress, as industry leaders warn of looming price hikes and supply shortages.
Major U.S. baby gear makers like Graco have already raised prices ~20% and may increase them further if the newest tariff rounds remain in place.
🔹 Key Points:
• Previous exemptions (2018) covered some child-safety products, but many baby essentials remain tariffed.
• About 97% of U.S. strollers and 87% of car seats are sourced from China.
• Graco’s parent, Newell Brands, has paused Chinese imports and is selling off inventory before possible reordering.
• Retailers face looming shortages and additional price increases if tariffs stay.
• Lawmakers are pressing the Treasury for action to shield families from rising costs.
