Washington, D.C. — With prices of baby products increasing due to tariffs, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff is taking action to lower costs for Georgia parents.
Sen. Ossoff recently launched an inquiry with Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick and U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer over the administration’s decision to impose tariffs that have sharply raised prices on baby products for Georgia families.
Sen. Ossoff requested clarity from the administration on its previously reported consideration of exemptions for essential baby products.
According to a report from the Joint Economic Committee, Georgia families could see an average household increase of $400 on strollers, car seats, cribs, highchairs, and baby monitors as a result of tariffs. Additional analyses have found prices for some necessities, including strollers and car seats, have risen by as much as 30-40%.
“Data show that the Administration’s chaotic tariff regime has dramatically raised prices on thousands of baby products, creating an unnecessary burden on American families that must be addressed,” Sen. Ossoff wrote to Sec. Lutnick and USTR Greer.
Sen. Ossoff continues working to support Georgia families and lower costs.
In August, Sen. Ossoff brought Republicans and Democrats together to require a Federal watchdog investigation into the housing affordability crisis and to help identify solutions to the crisis.
In May, Sens. Ossoff and Rick Scott (R-FL) introduced the bipartisan Improving SCRA Benefit Utilization Act to expand access to financial protections and benefits available to active duty servicemembers and their families.
In March, Sens. Ossoff and Ashley Moody (R-FL) introduced the bipartisan Homes for Every Local Protector, Educator, and Responder (HELPER) Act of 2025, which would establish a new home loan program for law enforcement, fire fighters, medical first responders, and teachers.
