As the sole distributor for Evenflo USA products we had always wondered how can a baby car seat relates to "flo". So we've read their story that explains it. And we guess we all benefited from the cap held nipples on the feeding bottle thanks to their patent.
And we should probably explains that, after Evenflo was fully acquired by Good Baby, their products lines split into USA and China products lines. The difference between the 2 products lines are that they're designed for different market i.e. USA and China. The USA products line will go through additional testings required by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) in USA. And most USA products will meet Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements, that means extra peace of mind when you're taking the baby seats on a plane. We're the sole distributor for USA products line as we believe even with the slightly higher price than China products line, the better quality and extra tests required by the USA authorities are well worth your money.

The Evenflo Story
Evenflo roots trace back 1920. Initially, the company was a manufacturer of products related to baby feeding. The Evenflo Feeding Division incorporated as Pyramid Rubber Company in Ravenna, Ohio on June 4th.
Infant feeding nipples were the principal product of the company until 1935 when patent rights for Evenflo’s nurser unit were secured. From 1935 through World War II, the Pyramid Rubber Company was the only manufacturer marketing standard nurser equipment featuring the first nipple that didn’t have to be pulled over the mouth of the bottle, but could be held in place on the bottle with a cap. This distinctive nipple was designed with a SURE SEAL© ring which kept the nipple from being pulled from the bottle. This signaled the start of broad scale distribution for the Evenflo line of feeding equipment.
The dedication to supporting parents, recognizing their needs and delivering innovative products, is evident early on. In 1947 recognizing a change in the way parents feed their children, Evenflo expanded operations beyond nipples to manufacture glass baby bottles by purchasing Oil City Glass Co. in Pennsylvania.
Continued innovation and expansion of operations continued. In 1960 Evenflo began marketing 12 different one-stop-shopping nursing kits, the first of its kind, offering various assortments of sterilizers, bottles, nipples and accessories.
In 1995, Evenflo Company, Inc. was created through the merger of Evenflo Juvenile Products and Evenflo Juvenile Furniture Company (formerly known as Questor Juvenile Furniture Company). For the next 18 years Evenflo Company, Inc. under various private equity firm ownership evolved. Bottle feeding, breastfeeding, car seats, strollers, home goods and more were developed and made available to parents everywhere through key partnerships with the nation’s leading retailers.
Today Evenflo Company, Inc. is still headquartered in Ohio and maintains manufacturing capability and facilities in the state of Ohio as well. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Goodbaby International Holdings Limited (Goodbaby International is a durable juvenile products company that is listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (1086:HK), the Evenflo (and ExerSaucer) Brand continues to operate within the Americas region of Goodbaby International. The future is bright as we strive to not only build our Brands’ success, we also strive to advocate for all Brands in the Goodbaby International family; Evenflo is the gateway for their success in the US, just as they act as our catalyst for global expansion.
