Why Waiting Might Cost You: Baby Gear Supply is Tight and Prices Are Rising
If you’re expecting or shopping for a little one, there’s something you need to know: the baby gear industry is facing real supply challenges—and they’re only getting tighter.
While tariff-driven price increases have made headlines, the real challenge for parents right now is the instability of supply. From strollers to car seats and high chairs, the items you see in stock today might not be here tomorrow—and when they return, prices are often higher.
At Kidsland, we want to help families plan wisely—and avoid the frustration of chasing restocks or paying more down the line.
What’s Really Going On:
Here’s a quick look at why baby gear is becoming harder to shop for:
- Global supply chain disruptions continue to slow both production and shipping.
- Manufacturers are limiting inventory, scaling back on colorways and optional accessories.
- Brands are narrowing their focus, prioritizing only top-selling SKUs to streamline fulfillment.
- Restock timelines are stretching, and uncertainty around import duties has made brands cautious about reordering certain items.
In short: availability is down, and volatility is up.
Prices Are Climbing — But Supply Is the Bigger Problem
Prices are rising—some by $50 to $300—but the bigger issue is that many items are simply disappearing from stock.
Even if you’re willing to pay more later, there's no guarantee your item will be available.
Check out historical prices on our most popular items to see how prices have changed across key categories.
Why Waiting for a Baby Registry Could Backfire
We know many parents rely on baby registries or wait for “just the right time” to purchase key items. But this year, waiting could mean losing out altogether.
We’ve seen customer-favorite strollers, high chairs, and travel systems sell out completely with no estimated restock date. In other cases, restocks arrive in smaller batches—and disappear quickly.
If it’s something you know you’ll need, secure it now.
Our Advice: Shop Early, Shop Smart, Shop In-Store
As a family-run business with nearly 40 years in the industry, we’ve seen our share of ups and downs—but this moment is different. Whether you’re a first-time parent or gearing up for baby #3, the smartest move right now is to shop early and shop local.
Come visit us at Kidsland in Los Angeles—we’d love to help you find exactly what you need, while it’s still here.
