Established in 1989, Goodbaby Group is China's largest and the world's leading provider of infant and children's products such as strollers, car seats and child safety devices. Goodbaby is a professional production, manufacturing and design company with customers located in more than 70 countries and regions worldwide. According to a survey from Frost & Sullivan, in each sale of 1000 baby carriages in North America, Europe and China, 435 come from Goodbaby Group.

Currently, the company owns four global R&D centers, 11 subsidiaries, has 35 branch offices and more than 13,000 employees worldwide.
Today they have over 3,200 stores in China, including multi-brand children's shoe stores, Mothercare shops and baby superstores, but this number is due to grow to 7,000 to 8,000 in the next few years in the wake of the relaxation of the One-Child-Policy.
The group has another listed company: Goodbaby International Holdings Ltd, which was floated on the Hong Kong stock market in 2010. It focuses on baby-care products design, production and sales, while Goodbaby China will sell those products in its network of shops.
