Graco Children’s Products Inc. is an industry leader in the design and manufacture of juvenile products. The Graco brand provides smart, practical and dependable parenting solutions inspired by the instincts and best intentions of a loving parent. After carefully observing a parent’s natural instincts to protect, nurture, comfort and soothe, Graco brings them to life in a broad range of innovative products, from strollers and car seats to highchairs, playards and monitors. As a result, Graco continues to be the brand of choice for millions of parents nationwide.
Graco has led its industry in new product development since its founding in 1953, when the brand invented the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Swyngomatic. Moving forward, Graco set the standard, introducing Pack N' Play Portable Playards in 1987, followed by the Travel System, the first product to allow parents to quickly click a car seat into and out of a stroller. Today, Graco continues its tradition of innovation with products like the Imonitor Digital Baby Monitor, the compact folding Contempo Highchair and Sweetpeace, the world’s first newborn soothing center.
Graco was acquired by Newell as part of the purchase of Rubbermaid in 1999, after which Newell Rubbermaid was created.
