Bombi (pronounced bom-bee) is a Rhode Island start-up that released its first (and only) model in 2023: the Bebee.

In an interview with the Boston Globe, Fusco explained the Bebee is a jumping off point for the brand:
We’re looking at this stroller as our entry-in. We are focused on winning in this group and market, but there are other segments we could enter into (like jogging strollers, double strollers, adventure strollers). We have prototypes and concepts already in the works, but we’re focusing on this one so we can branch off from there.[1]
