Committed to transparency, we’ll update this page as the situation evolves​

As parents who care deeply about the future, we believe in being open and honest. Like many of you, we’ve been closely following the tariff news and how the latest changes will have a significant impact on family-focused, homegrown brands like ours. To offer more context: while we do source our manufacturing overseas, we are a company with small-town roots, proudly headquartered just south of Boston. We design, develop, service, and operate our business locally — by parents, for parents. Every product decision we make is grounded in real-life experience and a deep commitment to quality, safety, and thoughtful design.​

Please know that we’ve made every effort behind the scenes to absorb as much of the cost as possible, but some price increases are unfortunately unavoidable. We took on much of the early impact ourselves, shouldering tariff-related costs to delay price changes and minimize disruption for our customers, choosing to manage the initial financial impact internally rather than raising prices multiple times. Still, we know this isn’t easy news, especially at a time when every dollar matters. So, here’s everything you need to know, straight from us:

What Does This Mean for You?​

  • Price Adjustments: In response to import tariffs, updated pricing has gone into effect across most UPPAbaby products
  • We’re Here to Help: We know this isn’t ideal. Our Customer Experience Team, made up of real parents (not bots!) is here around the clock to help answer any questions​

What Won’t Change?​

  • Our Commitment to You: Price adjustments won’t change our focus on delivering thoughtfully designed, safe, and high-quality gear that supports parents and families​

How Are We Responding?​

  • Streamlined Operations: We’ve tightened internal processes to stay efficient, without compromising on the quality or safety you count on
  • Supporting Our Global Community: We’re working hand-in-hand with our distributor partners and teams around the world to ensure families everywhere continue to receive the exceptional products and service they deserve​
  • Ongoing Updates: We’re actively monitoring the situation and will keep you updated here. If tariffs are reduced or lifted, we’ll reassess pricing as quickly as business operations allow​

What Happens Now That Tariffs Are Temporarily Reduced?

  • Recent adjustments to tariff policy have introduced a temporary reduction in rates. While this is a positive step, the reality remains complex. Although tariffs have declined from a peak of 145%, the current rate of 30% remains substantially higher than pre-tariff levels and continues to place significant financial strain on businesses like ours.
  • As a family-founded brand deeply committed to safety, quality, and transparency, we approach pricing decisions with care and responsibility. We are still actively managing the long-term impact of these increases. While there may be expectations for price adjustments, the current environment does not yet allow for sustainable reductions.
  • We are continuing to navigate:
    • Carryover costs from the high-tariff period
    • Increased expenses in freight, warehousing, and logistics
    • Internal operational adjustments made to maintain long-term stability

How Are Tariffs Affecting Product Availability?

  • Tariff-related delays may cause temporary stock shortages. We are working diligently to restore full inventory levels and truly appreciate your patience during this time. As trade agreements become clearer and our operations stabilize, we remain committed to re-evaluating opportunities to support both our customers and long-term sustainability.
  • If an item is unavailable on our website, we recommend checking with our authorized retailers or contacting Customer Experience with any questions.

Thank you for your continued trust in our brand. These decisions are not taken lightly and are made only after exhausting every other option. What hasn’t changed — and never will — is our commitment to quality, safety, and supporting parents in the moments that matter most. We’ll continue to navigate these challenges together, with an unwavering commitment to bringing you the very best, because you and your family deserve nothing less.

Please Note: All pricing, availability, and details are subject to change based on evolving economic conditions, including shifts in global trade regulations and tariffs. We remain committed to transparency and will update this page as new information becomes available.
