The company's products include clothing, strollers, furniture, bedding, feeding products, bathing, travel equipment and toys. Babyshop operates 15 retail locations and an online store.
The Luxury Kids Group is a Sweden-based, leading children's e-commerce retailer in the Nordics, and includes Babyshop.com, Babyshop Norway, AlexandAlexa.com and Oiidesign.se.
