Graco strollers and travel systems are manufactured in China, according to Graco's own support site, which also lists China as the manufacturing location for its car seats. Graco is a US brand owned by Newell Brands, the same parent company as Baby Jogger.
You may see articles online claiming some Graco car seats are made in the US or Mexico, but we couldn't verify those claims against Graco's own information. If the country of origin matters to you, check the label on the box or on the product itself.
Graco has spent more than 80 years focused on a simple goal: making baby gear that's dependable and easy to afford. Rather than chasing premium materials or standout design, the brand's strollers are built to bundle cleanly with its SnugRide infant car seats into a single, complete travel system — a category Graco has helped define.
That focus on value and simplicity has made Graco one of the most widely recognized stroller and car seat brands in the US, even as the market has shifted toward more premium, design-forward competitors. For parents assembling a first nursery on a budget, Graco remains one of the easiest brands to recommend.
