Baby Jogger was founded in 1984 by new father and committed jogger Phil Baechler. Baechler wanted to spend time with his son, but didn’t want to give up jogging. Realizing that most strollers had small wheels that would not withstand jogging speeds comfortably, he began tinkering, eventually designing a three wheeled stroller with larger wheels.
Today, Baby Jogger is one of the most popular brands of strollers and car seats. Company products are sold in almost every department store, toy store, baby store, and online store in the world.
As of December of 2014, the company was acquired by Newell Rubbermaid, Inc. for $210 million and operates as a subsidiary. Net sales in 2014 were $90 million. Newell Rubbermaid also owns Graco, another leading brand of baby strollers and baby items.
