Established in 1989 as a subsidiary of the number one-selling Combi Corporation in Japan, Combi USA strives to provide stylish, practical and innovative juvenile products. Derived from the word “combination,” Combi refers to the critical relationship between children and their caretakers. Combi draws inspiration from modern, sleek Japanese design, then transforms those ideas into juvenile products, such as strollers, car seats, and mobile entertainers, that are convenient and suitable for American families.
