SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Uber
Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) announced a partnership with Bed
Bath & Beyond® (Nasdaq: BBBY) and buybuy
BABY® to help launch the brand new baby and kids
vertical in the Uber Eats app. This new hub makes it easier than
ever for parents to get all of their baby, kids and family
essentials on-demand and delivered right to their door.
Uber's new baby and kids hub will help parents get what they need
delivered on-demand.
Starting today, a massive catalog of essential baby and home
products from nearly 120 buybuy BABY and more than 750 Bed Bath
& Beyond locations nationwide are available for on-demand
delivery through the Uber and Uber Eats apps. Parents and
caregivers can now get everything from dinner for the entire family
to diapers and wipes, first aid kits and bath toys, as well as a
wide variety of Bed Bath & Beyond's offering for the home, all
at the tap of a button.
"We're thrilled to be able to offer parents and caregivers an
easy and convenient way to find everything they need for their
families, and have it delivered to their doorsteps," said Raj Beri,
Uber's VP & Global Head of Grocery and New Verticals. "Every
parent knows the stress of urgently needing diapers, pacifiers,
thermometers and more—and we know that our new baby and kids hub
will help to alleviate some of the stress."
Rafeh Masood, Bed Bath &
Beyond Chief Digital and interim Chief Brand Officer, said, "We are rebuilding our
authority in the home and baby retail categories to appeal to new
consumers, while strengthening relationships with our valued,
long-standing customers. This partnership with Uber is a terrific
way we are reaching new customers and the fact that buybuy BABY was
chosen to help launch Uber's baby and kids delivery vertical
reflects the brand's leadership in welcoming customers to
parenthood. We are excited to begin this journey with Uber and look
forward to having their innovative services market and deliver
products from Bed Bath & Beyond and buybuy BABY right to
customers' doorsteps."
The new baby and kids hub on Uber Eats also includes beloved
brands such as Honest, Yumi, Lalo, Little Spoon, Nyssa and more,
providing a quick and stress-free way to get all needs on-demand.
To search, open the Uber app and tap "Baby" under categories or
even search with the baby emoji.

to children in need across the country. In the last 10 years,
Baby2Baby has distributed more than 200 million items to children
in homeless shelters, domestic violence programs, foster care,
