Graco is the leading juvenile products company in the world creating Infant car seats, convertible car seats, booster seats, baby monitors, baby strollers, double strollers, stroller accessories, feeding seats, table booster seats, feeding accessories, Pack N' Play playyards, doorway jumpers, baby walkers, baby swings and more. In 1942, Graco Metal Products was formed in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, Graco fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Graco decided to manufacture their own line of products. An engineer in the company, a father of 9, had often watched his wife soothe a tired or cranky baby with their backyard swing. Inspired by what he saw, he went to the drawing board. So, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco was in the baby-products business. Everyone knew they had a hit on their hands, and an enthusiastic Graco salesman predicted that 10,000 of the swings would sell. But no one predicted that Graco would sell not 10,000, but millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, and Graco became one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process.
The Pack N' Play Portable Playards, designed by the son of the Swyngomatic's inventor, was introduced in 1987, and achieved the same kind of success as Graco's wind-up swings. The Pack N' Play play yard is now found in millions of homes. Graco raised the bar further when it introduced the Graco Travel System, the first product that allowed you to quickly click a car seat into and out of a stroller, making life easier for mom and dad by allowing them to move a sleeping infant from house to automobile to stroller without waking the little one up. Graco infant car seats are some of the top rated and best selling infant car seats on the market.
Today, Graco continues its tradition of innovation. In 1998, Graco proudly acquired Century Car Seats, combining two of the most respected brand names in baby products. Today, Graco is a Newell RubbermaidTM company. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, the dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products has remained. Infant car seats, convertible car seats, booster seats, baby monitors, baby strollers, double strollers, stroller accessories, feeding seats, table booster seats, feeding accessories, Pack N' Play playyards, doorway jumpers, baby walkers and baby swings are all products that inspire parents and babies alike.
