Founded 25 years ago, buybuy BABY has become America’s leading specialty retailer for baby products, providing families with trusted information and a wide array of essentials necessary for the parenting journey.

Notably, the Everlee Glider with Ottoman won the Parents Best for Baby 2023 Award in the Nursery category, reflecting the brand's commitment to luxury and comfort.

Despite the positive strides, the company has faced financial challenges that led to the filing of voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
