gb (Goodbaby) is the largest manufacturers of baby strollers in the world.

Although the brand is relatively new to North America, the company traces its history back to 1989 and spent decades making strollers for others: Dorel (Cosco, Safety 1st, Maxi Cosi), Evenflo and Cybex. By 1999, Goodbaby became the largest manufacturer of strollers sold in the US.

By 2009, Goodbaby became the world's largest maker of strollers with an estimated one-third market share (that is, one out of every three strollers sold worldwide was made by Goodbaby).

In 2014, Goodbaby purchased Cybex and Evenflo. The company has sold strollers under various names at different retailers, namely Urbini at Walmart in the mid 2010's (the debut was 2014).

Also in 2014, Goodbaby had its first hit stroller under the gb brand—the gb Pockit, which was among the first ultra-compact travel systems.

As a public company in China, Goodbaby reports its sales. In its most recent fiscal year (2022), Goodbaby reported overall sales of $1.06 billion (USD). Among their divisions, Cybex sales were $420.4 million in 2022, while Evenflo racked up $294.9 million.
